This is an annotated list of 82 species, a large number of which are for the first time 

 accredited to California. The accompanying notes, in some cases quite extended, are of 

 value in that they indicate the abundance and distril^ution at that time of species 

 now rare or local. Of particular interest in this respect are the remarks on the California 

 Vulture, Raven, and Yellow-billed IMagpie. However, all the species mentioned are still 

 to be found somewhere within the State, except Quiscalus major, which Gambel claims was 

 occasionally seen in his time as far north as Upper California.
