CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN BIRDS. 359 



several of this species at Skagway and collected three. I took 

 one at Glacier, June 8th, and another on a hill above Caribou 

 Crossing, B.C.; after this we did not meet with this bird until 

 about 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 locali- 

 ties, but after passing Charlie Creek we saw no more of it.

469. Wright's Plycatclier. 



Empidonax ivrightii Baird. 1858. 



Only two taken ; a rare migrant at Chilliwack, B.C. {Brooks.) 

 Instead of traillii, 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.) 



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 suinmer 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, 

 Burrard Inlet, in April, 1889 ; specimens taken at Spence's 

 Bridge, B.C., in May and June, 1889. (Macoun.)
