155. Kennicott’s Screech Owl. 
(Megascops asio kennicottii.) 
An abundant resident throughout the Province. Breeds 
in the neighbourhood of this city. Also on the Mainland, 
east and west of Cascades. 
Nore.—-It appears that from a collection of Kennicott 
owls made by Mr. E. H. Forbush near this city, in Novem- 
ber, 1888, and February, 1889, a certain amount of evidence 
was procured which may lead to the consideration of a sub- 
division of the species. It is to be hoped, though, that 
before final action is taken in the matter further material 
may be gathered, as the tendency in the direction of 
creating sub-species on a mere phantom of evidence is 
already stretched beyond a safe tension. 
156. Western Horned Owl. 
(Bubo virginianus subarcticus.) 
An abundant resident throughout the Province. Mr. 
C. P. Wolley, of this city, found it breecling this season on 
the mountains near Bridge River. 
157. Dusky Horned Owl. 
(Bubo virginianus saturatus.) 
An abundant resident west of the Cascades. 
158. Snowy Owl. 
(Nyctea nyctea.) 
Resident in the northern portions of the Province. 
South, during some winters only, to the mouth of Fraser 
River and Vancouver Island. 
159. American Hawk Owl. 
(Surnia ulula caparoch.) 
A resident east of Cascades. West, occasionally, to 
Vancouver Island. Breeds along the valley of the Simil- 
kameen., 
160. Burrowing Owl. 
(Speotyto cunicularia hypogeea. ) 
East of Cascades. Not common. I have only found 
them in the neighbourhood of Kamloops, but have heard of 
them at Ashcroft.
