region and inland from Cook inlet in 1902, specimens taken there 
agreeing with typical osgood: from the Yukon valley. In 1901 
Figgins found it to be common and breeding throughout the Kenai 
peninsula, as did Anderson in 1903. 
298e. Canadian Spruce Grouse. 
Canachites canadensis canace (LINN.) NORTON. Igo!. 
Northern Minnesota, northern New York, northern New England, 
New Brunswick, and the Canadian zone of southern and eastern 
Canada. (A. O. U. Check-list, Eleventh Supplement.) Many of the

showed a decided infusion of canadensis blood, the tail being nar- 
rowly tipped with fulvous or white. (Brooks.) Throughout the 
wooded portion of the interior of British Columbia, east of, and 
including the Coast range to Cassiar. An abundant resident.
