Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passage from the book... The present list is intended to include all birds which have been sofar proven to occur in British Columbia.I am fully aware of its incompleteness, and very much regret much ofits lack of more definite information regarding the distribution ofcertain species, and with regard to that portion of the Province innorth and northeastern interior, which, I have no doubt, is a valuablefield for work.Since the publication of the list of British Columbia birds in 1898 bythe late John Fannin, which contained 339 species and sub-species, andwith the information to hand, enables me to add to this 24.I wish to extend my thanks especially to the following constantobservers for more or less extended local lists, notes andspecimens:--A. C. Brooks, Chilliwhack, Okanagan and Cariboo; Rev.J. H. Keen, Queen Charlotte Islands and Metlakatla; Thos. Kermode,William Head Quarantine Station; E. P. Venables, Yernon; Chas. deBlois Green, Fairview and Keremeos.I have also obtained valuable information from the check-listpublished by the late John Fannin.
