46 Brooks, Birds of the Chilliwack District, B. C. fesse 
has also identified two females taken April 11, 1905, as “‘ fuliginosa ap- 
proaching townsendi’’ but it has seemed safer to list them as the latter, 
as I know I have never seen in this valley the typical fuliginosa that breeds 
on the islands in the Gulf of Georgia, which is an extremely saturated form 
with no yellow on the under mandible. All three forms listed above are 
migrants, though I have once seen townsendi wintering in the valley. 
200. Passerella iliaca schistacea. SiaTE-coLoRED Fox Sparrow.— 
This is a scarce breeder in the Hudsonian Zone of the Cascades. I have 
never seen it in the valley. Identified by Oberholser. 
201. Pipilo maculatus oregonus. OrEGoN TowHEE.— Common 
resident. 
202. Zamelodia melanocephala. BLAck-HEADED GROSBEAK.— 
Common summer resident in the valley. : 
203. Passerina amona. Lazutt Buntinc.— Tolerably common 
summer resident. 
204. Piranga ludoviciana. Western TANAGeR.— Common sum- 
mer resident up to upper edge of Canadian Zone (about 5000 ft.). 
205. Petrochelidon lunifrons lunifrons. Curr SwaLLow.— 
Scarce up to about 1895, since then more common and a colony breeds on a 
barn near the town of Chilliwack. 
206. Hirundo erythrogastra. Barn SwaLLtow.— Common summer 
resident. 
207. Iridiprocne bicolor. TREE SwaLLow.— 
208. Tachycineta thalassina lepida. V1oLET-GREEN SwALLow.— 
209. Stelgidopteryx serripennis. RouGH-wincEp Swa.Litow.— All 
three of these Swallows are common and breed, though when I first arrived 
in the valley there were no Violet-green Swallows breeding there. 
210. Riparia riparia. Bank SwaLLow.— Tolerably common and a 
colony must breed within fifty miles though I never found it breeding west 
of the Cascades. 
211. Bombycilla garrula. Bouemian Waxwine.— Common and 
fairly regular winter visitant, the first arrivals usually seen towards the end 
of October. 
212. Bombycilla cedrorum. Crpar WaxwinG.— Common sum- 
mer resident. Cedar Waxwings might be expected to winter on the 
coast of British Columbia, but I never saw them at that season in the 
Chilliwack Valley. Once I saw a flock in November, a very late date for 
the species. 
213. Lanius borealis. NortTHerN SuHRIkE.— Fairly common mi- 
grant, a few remaining all winter. British Columbian birds are of large 
size with very large bills, doubtless Grinnell’s new subspecies invictus. 
214. Lanius ludovicianus gambeli. Cairornia SHRIKE.— One 
record only, a single bird shot by my father in April, 1888, and identified 
by Mr. Brewster. ; 
215. Vireosylva olivacea. Rep-rYED ViREO.— Common summer 
resident.
