British Cotumpia Brrps. 27 
161. Pygmy Owl. 
(Glaucidium gnoma.) 
Common throughout the Province. 
Order COCCYGES. The Cuckoos. 
Famity CUCULIDA. Cuckoos. 
162. California Cuckoo. 
(Coceyzus americanus occidentalis.) 
In May, 1881, I saw one of these birds at Burrard Inlet, 
and in June, 1882, the late Mr. J. C. Hughes found a pair 
breeding at Kamloops. In June, 1887, I saw a pair at 
Skinner’s Swamp, near this city, and from their actions I 
concluded they were breeding in that locality. Later on 
in the same year, one was shot near Mount Tolmie. They 
may be considered rare summer residents here.
