tions of the localities -where collections and observations -were made, general 

 remarks on the avifaunse of the Great Basin, and a catalogue of the 2C2 species 

 collected or observed — all this interesting matter being preliminary to the report 

 proper. In the latter, the birds are treated at full length, with brief synonymy 

 and extended critical and field notes; the -whole forming one of the most valu- 

 able contributions we possess to the bird-history of Utah, Kevada, and adjacent 

 portions of California. The articles are specially notable for the many meas- 

 nrements of fresh specimens, and notes of the life-colors of the bill, feet, and eyes. 

 The specimens collected are all individually catalogued with these notes, in 

 addition to the general text. There are no new species in this report ; but the 

 nomenclature difl'ers in many instances from that previously used by Mr. Eidg- 

 way in the History of North American Birds and elsewhere, during 1873-77.

Nearly all the illustrations of the well-known fact are drawn from North 

 American birds. Two generalizations are suggested : I. " The influencing 

 agent which prompts the bird to build its domicile is instinct." II. "Nearly all 

 birds modify their habitations to accord with exteral [sic] influences." That is 

 to say, internal influences prompt them to build, and external influences make 

 them build in different ways.
