Nore.—Sinee the text of this paper went to press, bird remains have 
been found in the Upper San Pedro Pleistocene at San Pedro, Cal., by 
Dr. F. C. Clark of Los Angeles. These remains were very generously 
presented to the present writer by Dr. Clark, and by permission of the 
latter, were deposited in the Vertebrate Palaeontology Collections at the 
University of California. Three of the specimens are almost perfect, the 
several others are too fragmentary for determination. One specimen repre- 
sents an undescribed species of grebe of the genus @ehmophorus but in view 
of the fact that the active exploration of these beds now going on will 
possibly bring to light other remains of like nature, a description of the 
species is thought unwise at present. 
Remains of Bison, Equus, a eamelid, rodents, seals, small turtles, and 
sting rays have also been taken from these beds by Dr. Clark and the 
writer.
