fifteen miles above Selwyn river, where Osgood shot a young one, 
July 29th. From that point to Charlie creek, it was almost equally 
common with alnorum, frequenting the same localities, but after 
passing Charlie creek, we saw no more of it. (Bushop.)

Empidonax wrighttt BAIRD. 1858. 
Only two taken; a rare migrant at. Chilliwack, B.C. (Brooks.) 
Instead of tralia, which I expected to find in the Rocky moun- 
tains, this species was taken in that locality. Three specimens 
taken during the latter part of August, 1874, on the International 
Boundary in lat. 49°. The bird doubtless breeds in this region, 
which is the northernmost point by far at which it has been’ ob- 
served. (Coues.) Dr. Bishop found it common with half-fledged 
young in the Cypress hills, Sask., from June 25th to June 3oth, 1905, 
(A.C. Bent.) 
This species was mixed with minimus at Canmore, within the 
Rocky mountains, but although a number of specimens were taken 
at Banff, twenty miles further west, minimus was not taken in 
the summer of 1891. The species is apparently common in the 
mountains, as it was very abundant at Revelstoke, B.C., on the 
Columbia river, and breeding there and at Deer Park and Robson, 
on Arrow lake, and below it; it was not uncommon at Sicamous, 
B.C., in July, 1889; and specimens were taken at Hastings, Burrar 
inlet, in April, 1889; specimens taken at Spence Bridge, B.C., in 
May and June, 1889. (Macoun.)

There is still much uncertainty about the horned larks, and as 
specimens are not available for comparison many of the old citations
