NOTES ON CERTAIN WASHINGTON AND BRITISH 

 COLUMBIA BIRDS. 



BY SAMUEL N. RHOADS. 



Owing to unavoidable delay in the publication of a complete 

 paper on the birds I observed in Washington and British Colum- 

 bia in 1892 I am induced to present the following remarks on 

 some of the more noteworthy species. These notes are based 

 for the most part on a collection of birds made during the 

 past spring and summer on Puget Sound, Vancouver Island, 

 and in parts of British Columbia south of the fifty-third 

 parallel between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific coast. 

 Of the twenty species recorded as new to the fauna of British 

 Columbia a few may be found in Lord's list, 1 but owing to the 

 debatable nature of the territory surveyed by that naturalist and 

 the inaccuracy of many of his statements, we are forced to ignore 

 it in this connexion. Additions to the lists of Messrs. Chapman 

 and Fannin are : — 



Simorbyncbus pusillus. 

 Charadrius dominicus fulvus. 

 Callipepla californica vallicola. 

 Bubo virginianus. 

 Bubo virginianus arcticus. 

 Glaucidium gnoma. 

 Perisoreus canadensis capitalis. 

 Chondestes grammacus strigatus. 

 Zonotrichia querula. 

 Spizella socialis. 

 Passerella iliaca schistacea. 



Clivicola riparia. 

 Vireo huttoni obscurus. 

 Helminthophila ruficapilla guttui 



alis. 

 Dendroica maculosa. 

 Icteria virens longicauda. 

 Certbia familiaris motitana. 

 Parus budsonicus columbianus 



(subsp. nov.). 

 Turdus ustulatus swainsonii. 

 Turdus aonalascbka? pallasii. 



Additions to previous avifaunal lists of Washington are : — 



Colymbus bolbcellii. 

 Urinator arcticus. 



Simorbynchus pusillus. 

 Synthliborampbus antiquus.
