CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 289 



1894, Mr. Spreadborough took specimens at Medicine Hat and 

 Crane Lake, Assa., and in May, 1890, secured one at Revel- 

 stoke, B.C.; he also found a number of pairs breeding at Kam- . 

 loops, B.C., in June, 1889. {Macoun.) I have three records of 

 this species west of the Coast Range, B.C. East of this range it 

 is a tolerably common breeder in the semi-arid interior. {Brooks.), 

 East of the Coast Range in British Columbia ; not common. I 

 have only found it in the neighbourhood of Kamloops, but^ave 

 heard of it at Ashcroft. {Fannin.) A special trip was made in 

 the vicinity of Kamloops and Ashcroft for this species, but no 

 trace remained of the colonies once existing there. The last pair 

 known to remain in that locality lived in a badger's burrow on 

 the bank of Thompson River, near the ferryman's house. None 

 have been seen at Kamloops or Ashcroft since 1890. {Rhoads!)
