Preface. 



Francisco Call^ The Land of Sunshine^ and 

 A Berkeley Year, To the publishers 

 and editors of these I am indebted for 

 allowing their republication. I am also 

 especially obliged to Mr. Leverett M. 

 Loomis for many courtesies during the 

 preparation of my work. The superb 

 study collection of California birds in 

 the Museum of the California Academy 

 of Sciences has formed the basis for 

 working up the descriptive list of the 

 appendix.
