the other approached the next subspecies. Both are in the collection of 
Mr. Brewster. 
127. Dryobates villosus monticola. Rocky Mountain Harry 
WoopprecKER.— This is of regular occurrence in the valley and may breed 
there. It is the breeding Hairy Woodpecker of the adjacent mountains. 
Specimens sent to Mr. Brewster were identified as hyloscopus, but this was 
before monticola was described. 
128. Dryobates villosus harrisi. Harris’s WooppeckrR — Com- 
mon resident. 
129. Dryobates pubescens gairdneri. GartrpNER’s WoopPECKER.— 
Common resident, 
130. Picoides americanus fasciatus. ALASKAN THREE-TOED Woop- 
PECKER.— Resident in the Hudsonian Zone on all the mountains. Never 
seen in the valley. 
131. Sphyrapicus ruber notkensis. NortTHERN ReEpD-BREASTED 
SapsucKER.— Tolerably common summer resident. 
132. Phlceotomus pileatus abieticola. NorrHern PineEaTeD Woop- 
PECKER.— Common resident. 
133. Asyndesmus lewisi. Lewis’s WooprecKkrer.— Tolerably com- 
mon summer resident. 
134. Colaptes auratus luteus. NorrHerN Fiicker.— Only one 
record, a bird taken by myself at Sumas, April 8, 1903. Its rarity is not- 
able as I found it a regular migrant on Vancouver Island. 
135. Colaptes cafer saturatior. NorTHwEsTERN FLICKER.— Com- 
mon resident. 
136. Chordeiles virginianus virginianus. NicgurHawKk.— Breed- 
ing birds sent to Mr. Ridgway and to Mr. Brewster are identified as this 
form by both. ‘“ They certainly are not henryi or sennetti’’ (Brewster 
in epist.) Henryi and hesperis are constantly quoted as the British Colum- 
bian subspecies, but all I send back to be identified from different localities 
are typical virginianus. The last so identified are breeding birds from the 
dry interior (Okanagan) which Mr. Oberholser labels as virginianus. 
137. Cypseloides niger borealis. Buiack Swirr.— Common summer 
resident always appearing in the valley in moist or rainy weather. It 
breeds in the mountains, but the only place I have seen that looked likely 
is Che-am peak at the extreme head of the valley. Here I have seen a 
few dashing about the cliffs in July. A note for June 16, 1901, from my 
notebook reads, ‘‘ One of the females had a fully formed egg with the shell 
soft, measuring 1.03 in. X .66 in., an almost perfect oval.”’ It is a mistake 
to suppose the females can always be told from the males by the rounded 
tail and white edges to the feathers of belly. These are only the younger 
birds. Old females probably two years and over have the forked tail and 
black under surface of fully adult males. 
138. Cheetura vauxi. Vaux’s Swrrr.— Common summer resident. 
139. Archilochus alexandri. Buack-cHINNED HUMMINGBIRD.— 
Rare though regular summer resident.
