A Journey Across the Sierras. By W. S. Baily (continued). — Mr. 

 Baily's amusing disregard of the published information on American birds 

 is still in evidence. Of Pica nuttalli he tells us he has seen a good many 

 in the Rocky Mts. in Utah and Wyoming! In the December number is a 

 continuation in which we are informed of the presence of the " White- 

 eyed Grackle (Quiscalus quiscalus agelceus) " in the Santa Clara Valley — 

 surely a new species for California!!

— The bird of Ascension Island upon which the name Pelecanus aquilus of

 distributed form which must be known as Fregata minor Gm. Eight sub- 

 species of this bird are proposed and two of F. ariel, the form of the A. O. U. 

 Check-List is true minor.
