Ring-necked Pheasant. 
Phasianus torquatus LINN. 1858. 
Introduced from China; now thoroughly acclimatized on Van- 
couver island and portions of the mainland of British Columbia. 
(Fannin.) There were many pheasants in the fields near Victoria 
in the winter of 1906-1907. I saw as many as 50 or 60 at one 
time. (Spreadborough.) 
ORDER COLUMBA: PIGEons. 
Famity XXVII. COLUMBIDZ Piceons. 
CXXXVII. COLUMBA Linnzus. 1758. 
312. Band-tailed Pigeon. 
Columba fasciata SAY. 1823. 
Never seen in large flocks in British Columbia. (Lord.) A very 
common summer resident in the coast district; flocks of several 
hundred have been seen sitting in the trees at one time. (Streator.) 
Irregular through the southern portions of British Columbia; a 
summer resident; tolerably common. (Fannin.) Abundant sum- 
mer resident in lower Fraser valley. (Brooks.) Abundant on the 
south end of Vancouver island. A summer resident also on the 
mainland and in the valley of the Fraser river. Saw a number in 
the trees on the beach at Douglas, B.C., April 17th, 1906, and others 
in the Chilliwack valley later in the season. (Spreadborough.) 
CXXXVIII. ECTOPISTES Swarnson. 1827. 
315. Passenger Pigeon. 
Ectopistes migratortus (LINN.) SWAINS. 1827. 
The passenger pigeon is now extinct in Canada. The references 
which follow show its former distribution. Recent supposed records 
all probably refer to the next species. In The Auk, Vol. XX p. 66 
and The Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. XX, pp. 236 and 237, Mr. J. H. 
Fleming gives lists of all the latest records.
