especially coastwise, a common resident. (Fannin.) ‘Common 
resident at Chilliwack, B.C. (Brooks.) Taken at Agassiz and 
Hastings, B.C., in 1889; common at Chilliwack and Huntingdon; 
a few seen at McGuire’s on the Chilliwack river, B.C.; saw one at 
Douglas, B.C.; a common resident throughout Vancouver island. 
(Spreadborough.) A few seen in the scattering timber in the vicinity 
of Sitka, Alaska, where they doubtless breed. (Grinnell.) Three of

393d. Cabanis Woodpecker. 
Dryobates villosus hyloscopus (CAB.) BREWST. 1888. 
Under this form we place a few skins examined by Mr. F. Chap- 
man and labelled ‘‘approaching hyloscopus.’’ They come exactly 
between the western and eastern forms and include the whole Rocky 
mountain region. 
This form was common at Canmore and Banff in the Rocky 
mountains in the summer of 1891; very common at Revelstoke, 
B.C., in burnt woods in April, 1890; not uncommon at Kamloops, 
B.C., in June, 1889. Mr. Spreadborough reports seeing a hairy 
woodpecker at Trail, Cascade and Waneta, B:C., on the 49th parallel 
in the summer of 1902. It was doubtless this form. (Macoun.) 
Common at Elko, B.C.; rarer at Midway and Sidley and rather 
common at Penticton, B.C. (Spreadborough.) Taken at Okanagan, 
B.C., by Mr. Brooks. (Kermode.) Breeding at 150-mile House, 
Cariboo district, B.C. (Brooks.) Near Little Salmon river, Yukon 
river, Yukon. (Bishop.)
