Since the publication of the list of British Columbia birds in 1898 by
the late John Fannin, which contained 339 species and sub-species, and
with the information to hand, enables me to add to this 24. 

I wish to extend my thanks especially to the following constant
observers for more or less extended local lists, notes and
specimens:--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.  de
Blois Green, Fairview and Keremeos. 

I have also obtained valuable information from the check-list
published by the late John Fannin.
