46. HiRUNDO THALASSiNAy-Swains. Violet-green Swallow. 

 Builds in knot-holes in trees.

 As far north as Fort Rupert in May. 



48. Chjetura vauxi (Towns.). 



^49. Nephoc(etes niger (Gm.). 



The Northern Swift I place in this list wholly on the authority 

 of the specimen said to have been got by Capt. Prevost. I 

 had not known it hitherto in Vancouver Island, though it is 

 common enough in Puget Sound.

The Cedar-bird is common at Fort Rupert in early summer.

— 54. Troglodytes hyemalis, Vieill. Winter-Wren. 



t55. Salfinctes obsoletus (Say). Rock-Wren. 



Had not so good an authority as Mr. Lord recorded this as 

 a Vancouver-Island bird, I should have doubted, with Prof. 

 Baird, its being found on the coast, as it is an inland species.
