or in some eases feeding young. The small form is allied to bryanti and 
like it, is a bird of the lowlands and estuaries of the coastal strip.! 
184. Chondestes grammacus strigatus. WerestprRN LARK SPAR- 
row.— First taken May 21, 1889. Another bird seen in spring of 1896. 
In 1899 I saw a breeding pair in the valley. It has recently become com- 
mon in northern Okanagan and is probably also increasing at Chilliwack. 
185. Zonotrichia querula. Harris’s Sparrow.— Two taken Jan- 
uary 8, 1895, in which year there was an invasion of this sparrow as far 
west as Vancouver Island. Another seen in April, 1895. 
186. Zonotrichia leucophrys gambeli. INTERMEDIATE SPARROW.— 
Common migrant. No specimens of Nuttall’s Sparrow taken though it is 
the common breeding bird of the coast and islands. 
187. Zonotrichia coronata. GoLDEN-cROWNED Sparrow.— Toler- 
ably common migrant. 
188. Spizella monticola ochracea. WersTeERN TREE SPARROW.— 
Searce winter visitant. 
189. Spizella passerina arizone. WersTERN CHIPPING SPARROW.— 
Common summer resident. 
190. Junco oreganus oreganus. OreGcon Junco.— Breeding from 
the floor of the valley to the Hudsonian Zone. 
191. Junco oreganus connectens. SHUFELDT’s JuNco.— Common 
winter visitant. I cannot say with certainty that this subspecies is dis- 
placing oreganus as it is in the Seattle-Tacoma region. 
192. Junco hyemalis hyemalis. SLarE-coLoreD JuNco.— Casual 
winter visitant. Two taken at an interval of about seven years, one other, 
at least, observed. 
193. Melospiza melodia morphna. Rusty Sona Sparrow.— 
Abundant resident. 
194. Melospiza melodia rufina. Soory Sona Sparrow.— Winter 
visitant only (?). Specimens taken were not as dark as those from north- 
western Vancouver Island, nor even as dark as some from the dry interior 
in Okanagan. 
195. Melospiza lincolni lincolni. LincoLn’s Sparrow.— 
196. Melospiza lincolni striata. Forsusu’s Sparrow.— Many 
birds sent back to eastern collectors labeled striata passed unchallenged, 
including those sent to Mr. Brewster, but the only skin I have left from 
the valley is lincolni lincolni. Lincoln’s Sparrow in one form or another 
breeds just below the Hudsonian Zone, and the species is a common migrant 
through the valley. 
197. Passerella iliaca unalaschcensis. SHumacin Fox Sparrow.— 
198. Passerella iliaca insularis. Kapiak Fox Sparrow.— 
199. Passerella iliaca townsendi. Townsrenn’s Fox Sparrow.— 
Dr. Bishop and Mr. Oberholser have identified these three races from 
migrating Fox Sparrows I have sent back from Chilliwack. Dr. Bishop
