A few specimens of this bird have been taken about Sitka by Bischoff', and others have been found in British Columbia, so that there is no doubt it occurs along the northwest coast as far as the heavily wooded region in the vicinity of Kadiak and the adjoining mainland. The typical form of this bird appears to be rather strictly limited to the Pacific slope, as Mr. Henshaw found that birds taken east of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon were referable to saUni, although tbey were not typical of t...he latter form, and showed an approach to the eastern race, losing that intensity of coloration which is characteristic of the northwest coast birds. Lagopus lagopus (Linn.). Willow Ptarmigan (Esk. A-Mzh-gKh). Throughout the northern portion of Alaska this bird is a resident in summer, frequenting the extensive open country, and being most abundant along the barren sea-coast region of Bering Sea and the Arctic. It breeds also south of the peninsula on the Shumagin Islands, whence Dr. Bean obtained a female in mid-summer plumage during his visit to those islands in the summer of 1880.
