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 

 nine specimens have unspotted wing coverts, the rest are spotted 

 in varying degrees, but less so than the darkest examples of villosus.

393<^- Cabanis Woodpecker. 



Dryobdtes 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.) 



Breeding Notes. — A pair had a nest in a larch stub about twenty 

 feet from the ground at Elko, B.C., May 7th, 1904, and a pair was 

 seen making a nest in a poplar about ten feet from the ground at 

 Midway, B.C., April 15th, 1905.
