BIRDS. 



The collection of birds contains representatives of fifty-six species, 

 all of which, from the time of capture, may be regarded as breeding. 

 To these Mr. Bunnell has added thirty-three species observed, but not 

 secured. These are marked with an asterisk. The collection has been 

 carefully identified with reference to subspecific differences, as the 

 locality is to some extent on the borderland of the humid coast, the 

 Sierran and the Upper Sonoran faunas. The field notes are entirely 

 from Mr. Bunnell's journal.
