A general account of the birds of the State (and some others). System and 

 nomenclature closely according to Baird (1858), from -which most of the syno- 

 nymy and much of the technical matter are taken. Dr. Cooper's biographical and 

 general matter. Introduction by J. D. "Whitney. Illustrations consist of small 

 full figures of a species of each genus, with many life-size figures of heads .and 

 other parts, together with outlines of generic details ; nearly all from nature, 

 drawn by E. Sheppard, J. H. Eichard, H. W. Elliott, and A. Schonbom, cut by Tl. 

 H. Nichols, the outline details engraved by the Jewett process. These cuts are 

 remarkable for artistic excellencR and practical utility. Most of them reappear in 

 Baird, Brewer, and Eidgway's History of N. A. Birds. Appendix by S. F. Baird, 

 containing 2 additional spp. (Dendroeca graeice Coues ; Junco annectens, sp. n., p. 

 564) ; a copious glossary of technical terms, a list of Spanish names of Californian 

 birds, the latter by J. Xantus; and indexes of scientific and vernacular names. 

 The work has been pronounced rather dicappointing to the general student (cf. 

 Zool. Bee. for 1870), and advances the science less than was to have been antici- 

 pated. Cf. Ibis, 1871, pp. 481, 482.
