It is proper to explain that, according to the writer’s views, 
the form called P. 2. wnalaschensis is restricted to the Shumagin 
Islands and Alaskan peninsula (possibly also parts of the island 
of Unalashka) in summer. ‘This form is very nearly as gray as 
P. 7. schistacea, and closely resembles that subspecies, but has the 
brown color of the upper tail-coverts and tail decidedly less rufes- 
cent and therefore less strongly contrasted with the brownish gray 
color of back, etc. 
The five subspecies of the Pacific coast district, as they < pape as 
to me, have breeding ranges as follows 
Passerella tliaca unalaschensis. shun Islands and Alaskan 
Peninsula; Unalashka? 
Passerella iliaca insularis. Kodiak Island; Middleton Island ? 
Passerella iliaca annectens. Coast between Cross Sound and 
Prince William Sound; Kenai Peninsula ? 
Passerella iliaca townsendi. Coast and islands between Cross 
Sound and Dixon Entrance. 
Passerella iliaca fuliginosa. Coast and islands from southern 
side of Dixon Entrance to northwestern Washington (Olympic 
Mis. ,,etc.));
