759f. Dwarf Hermit Thrush. 



Hylocichla guttata nana (AuD.) Brewster. 1902. 



Occasionally seen in the thick bmsh at Hastings, Burrard inlet, 

 in April, 1889; seen on nearly all the mountains at an altitude of 

 5,000 feet at Chilliwack lake, B.C., in July, 1901 ; first seen on 

 April 2ist, 1893, at Victoria, Vancouver island, after this date they 

 became common, but most of them left early in May. Some reside 

 all year, as I saw them in January, 1890. Not common at Clayoquot 

 sound, Vancouver island in September and October, 1907. {Spread- 

 borough.) British Columbia. {Lord.) Found only during the autumn 

 migration, and then in the coast region. {Streator.) West of the coast 

 region ; near the coast. {Fannin.) Summer resident on mountain tops 

 near Chilliwack. {Brooks.) On the coast of British Columbia in 

 migrations. Probably breeds in the Coast range and mountains 

 of Vancouver island. I was surprised to again meet with this 

 species at Field, where I saw many and secured three birds. One 

 of these in spotted nesting plumage proves that the summer 

 habitat of the dwarf thrush is far more extended than formerly 

 supposed. {Rhoads.) Not uncommon at Vancouver City, Lulu 

 island and Sea island, B.C., in the spring of 1894. {E.F.G.Whiie.) 



Very common every~where at Sitka, Alaska, especially on the 

 small wooded islands; at low tide they were frequently to be seen 

 feeding among the kelp and rockweed along the shore. {Grinnell.) 

 Specimens of this bird are in the National Museum collection from 

 various points along the timbered coast of southeastern Alaska, 

 including Cook inlet, Sitka, Kadiak and Chugatchik bay. {Nelson.) 

 Rather rare on Queen Charlotte islands. Two adult females were 

 taken at the head of Cumshewa inlet, and one male on Prevost 

 island, June, 1900. {Osgood.)
