The whole vol. in which this article appeirs is oftenest cited as Vol. XII, Part 

 n ; but its proper quotation is Vol. XII, Book II, as per general title-page. The 

 zoology, which occupies most of the vol., is officially Part III of Gov. Stevens's 

 Report, Part I (General, constituting Book I) and Part II (Botanical, constitut- 

 ing a portion of Book II) of which do not relate to zoology. Part III, then, of 

 Book II, of Vol. XII, is the zoological portion of this report, No. 3 being orni- 

 thological. It consists of iield-notes by Cooper and Suckley, on the birds, accom- 

 panied by the specific characters and some synonymy of each species, copied 

 from Baird's General Report (Vol. IX). Each author contributes his field- 

 notes over his initials to both chapters ; this singular division of the ostensible 

 authorship of the Land and "Water Birds having resulted from some personal 

 matters of which I am cognizant, but which need not be hero published. Fol- 

 lowing the general account is a compiled " List of Birds heretofore reported as 

 found in the northwest part of America, but of which no specimens have been 

 procured by recent explorers " (pp. 288-291). The species figured are the follow- 

 ing : — PI. si, Falconigriceps ; pi. xvi, Buteo cooperi ,- pi. xxi, Corvus carnivorus ; pi. 

 xxiii, O. ainericanus ; pi. xxiv, G. caurinus ; pi. xxv, Pica hudsonica ; pi. xxviii, f. 1, 

 Juvco dorscdis, f. 2, Passerculus sandioichensis ,- pi. xxxviii, Podiceps occidentalis. 



Copies of this book were reissued under an entirely different title (Natural 

 History of Washington Territory, etc.) ; but they are printed from the same plates, 

 and are substantially identical. The copies examined, both of the original and 

 of the reisso, date 1860 ; but I think other impressions of the original date 1859.
