CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 515 
April 17th, 1893; nest found May 11th on the ground, made of dry 
grass, lined with hair and containing three eggs; a summer resident 
on all parts of Vancouver island, they do not appear to be common 
at Comox. (Spreadborough.) A very common species on Van- 
couver island; it was abundant on roadsides and in fields at Salt 
Spring island and Comox in May, 1887 (Macoun.) A very abun- 
dant summer resident on the coast of British Columbia. (Rhoads.) 
557. Golden-crowned Sparrow. 
Zonotrichia coronata (PALL.) BAIRD. 1858. 
Common about the prairies and open timbered spots. (Lord.) 
A very abundant spring and fall migrant. (Streator.) An abun- 
dant summer resident. (Fannin.) Not common; migrating in the 
lower Fraser valley; breeds on the mountain tops at timber line. 
(Brooks.) Quite rare at Hastings, Agassiz, and Vancouver in April, 
1889; common at Douglas, B.C., in April and May, 1906; not rare 
on Vancouver island at Victoria in spring, seen for the first time 
April 27th, in 1893; by May gth they had disappeared ; not common 
at Clayoquot sound, Vancouver island, a few were seen in Septem- 
ber, 1907. (Spreadborough.) Abundant at Salt Spring island and 
Comox in May, 1887. (Macoun.) In abundant flocks during our 
stay at Goldstream, Vancouver island. I am inclined to doubt 
Mr. Fannin’s statement that they are resident on Vancouver island 
and would restrict their southern range in summer to the Queen 
Charlotte islands. (Rhoads.) At English bay, near Vancouver 
city saw a flock of nearly 100, May 4th, 1890; very common on Sumas 
prairie in October of the same year. (E. F. G. Wihute.) 
A few of these sparrows were seen and heard on August 21st in 
brush among spruces back of our camp on’the Kowak river, Kotze- 
bue sound. They were not common at any time. (Grinnell.) 
Common in the low, second growth brush about the village of Hope, 
Cook inlet, Alaska; also occasionally seen on the mountains there. 
(Osgood.) This sparrow was found on the heights above glacier 
near Skagway and was common at White Pass summit and con- 
tinued to Portage, B.C. A nest almost finished was found in a 
conifer at Summit lake, June 12th. (Bishop.) Seen at Kenai 
mountains and Homer, Alaska. Was not seen at Homer until late 
summer when it became very common. (Figgims.) Four adults
