Others wliicli are recorded from Cape Saint Lucas were probably 

 obtained at other though not very distant localities. 



The fauna and flora of La Paz, Cape Saint Lucas, and San Jose del 

 Cabo, are quite identical, allowing for difference in surroundings and in 

 variety of collecting' grounds. 



For the purpose of determining the resident species a later stay at 

 San Jose was desirable, but I was compelled reluctantly to leave the 

 field. 



Collections were made at La Paz from December 15, 1881, to March 

 21, 1882; at San Jose from April 1, 1882, to May 17, of the same year.

The first two papers cited above wore based upon an early installment of Xautus's 

 collections, no list of the species subsequently obtained by him having ever been pub- 

 lished. I have, therefore, gone over the record books of the National Museum and 

 made a careful enumeration of all the species collected by Xantus in Lower California. 

 The total number of species amounts to 130, of which only 42 are included in Professor 

 Baird's list. Of the species collected by Xantus 34 were not found by Mr. Belding, 

 who, however, obtained or observed 39 species not represented in Xautus's collections. 

 The latter are distinguished in the present catalogue by a * prefixed to the number, 

 while a list of those obtained only by Xantus is given herewith.
