The remainder of the water birds, including waders, are either winter resi- 

 dents only, or seen in July as well as in winter, aud therefore considered constant 

 residents, though most of them probably retire to the mountains to breed. 

 Besides those mentioned, about forty species of* water birds and sixty land birds 

 occur in the localities mentioned. Many of the winter birds doubtless frequent 

 the neighboring mountains in summer, and this list does not, therefore, show the 

 species occurring throughout the Coast Slope, but only for ten to twenty miles 

 inland. 



• The names of all the vertebrated animals in California are too many to be 

 given in this article, but the other species may be ascertained by reference to 

 " The Natural Wealth of California," (San Francisco, 1867) or to the cata- 

 logues in Baird, Cassin, and Lawrence's Reports, (Pacific Railroad Series, 

 Vols. YlII, IX, and X) with the additions given in this volume, (p. 3) and in 

 the Proc. Phil. Acad. Nat. Sc, 1869, p. 12, where the following Cetaceans of 

 California are described, viz :
