 no authorities for these statements are cited.

Of the 100 species briefly described or commented upon, the greater part were evidently 

 obtained on the coast of California. But unfortunately in many cases the locality of capture 

 is omitted. Only the following are definitely stated to have been oljtained at San Francisco 

 or Monterey: Falco sparverius, Bubo Virginianus (=subs. ?), Alcedo Alcyon {^^Ceryle 

 alcyon), Turdus migratorius {^=Planesticus migratorius propinquiis), Fringilla Canadensis ? 

 {■^Zonotricliia Iciicophrys nuttalli ?), Fringilla hyemalis {--=Junco hyeinalis pinosiis), 

 Fringilla Dieruloides n. s. {^Passerella iliaca tneriiloides) , Agelaius phoeniceus { = A. 

 gubernator calif orniciis), Garrulus Californicus n. s. PI. V [^^Aphelocoina californica), 

 Picus villosus {=Dryobates villosns hyloscopus) , Picus ruber {^=Sphyrapicus varius ruber), 

 Picus formicivorus {^Melanerpes formicivorus bairdi), Colaptes collaris n. s. PI. IX 

 { = Colaples cafer collaris), Sitta pygincra n. s. PI. IV, Columba monilis n. s. PL X (-"=C 

 fasciata), Ardea exillis {^=Ardetta exilis), Recurvirostra occidentalis \\. s. PL XII {=^R. 

 americana), Clangula albeola {^-Charitonetta albeola) , Larus Sabini {=Xema sabini) , and 

 Diomedea fuliginosa (=Z? nigripes). Besides these, Charadrius melodus {=^F:gialiiis 

 meloda?) and Orlyx Douglasii n. s. PL XI {=Lophortyx douglasii) are accredited to San 

 I'rancisco and Monterey, respectively. But it seems likely that the latter anyway was ob- 

 tained on the Mexican coast. Either vSan Francisco or Monterey has been subsequently 

 fixed by elimination, for certain of the species described by Vigors but with no locality in- 

 dicated. These include Miiscicapa seiiiiaira n. s. {^Sayornis nigricans). Troglodytes spi- 

 lurus n. s. PL IV {--Tliryoinanes bcTcickii spiliiriis) , and Fringilla rrissalisn. s. {^=Pipilo 

 rrissalis). vSeveral of the forms marked as n (ew) s(pecies) hatl been previously described 

 in the Zoological Journal.
