British CotumBia Brrps. 13 
saw a pair of these geese, this season, in possession of Mrs. 
James Campbell, Cache Creek, which were taken by her 
when quite young, nearly two years ago. They were quite 
tame, and allowed to come and go at will.

SupramMity CYGNIN Al. Swans. 
73. Whistling Swan. 
(Orlor columbianus.) 
A winter resident in the southern portions of the Pro- 
vince, and very abundant during the summer in some por- 
tions of the Mainland interior. The young have been 
taken on Vancouver Island. 
74. Trumpeter Swan. 
(Orlor buccinator.) 
I have only seen this bird at Dease Lake, Cassiar, where 
it appears to be not uncommon. Mr. A. L. Poudrier, of the 
Government Survey, reports having seen on a lake in the 
Chilcotin district, last season, upwards of five hundred 
swans, but of what species he could not say.
