Preliminary List of Birds From the 

 Claremont- Laguna Region 



This list is compiled from many local sources. The earliest rec- 

 ords of the Department of Zoology of Pomona College were by 

 Illingsworth, later by Chas. Metz, by Leon L. Gardner and others. 

 There is also included the local records of Wright M. Pierce, and 

 Halsted White. The drawings are all from bird skins from the 

 collections of Pierce and White and from the Department of 

 Zoology of Pomona College. The drawings are by Miss Hazel 

 Burnham. For criticisms, suggestions and much valuable material 

 we have especially to thank Mr. Halsted White and Mr. Wright 

 M. Pierce. Grinnelbs "Distributional List of the Birds of Cali- 

 fornia, " was used as a basis in the use of the names. 



In the list the initials after a record or statement denotes the 

 authorship. Unless otherwise indicated the specimens drawn were 

 males. 



The figures on the last two plates are reduced one-half. Other 

 figures are reduced one-third, the figures of the pelicans, condor and 

 vulture are reduced more.
