of species but of individuals; this being noted by the writer on 

 various trips to the section named and appearing particularly to 

 apply to species belonging to the Alcida?, Phalacrocoracid?e, to some 

 extent the Anatidse, but not in any great degree to the Laridse, 

 as the representatives of this latter Family, that use this region as a 

 winter resort, seemingly are well distributed. 



The following List is intended as supplemental to the original 

 " List of Land Birds of Seattle" published in 'The Auk' (Vol. XIX. 

 No. 2, April, 1902) and an Addendum to which appeared in ' The 

 Auk' (Vol. XXVIII, No. 4, October, 1911). 



1. .ffichmophorus occidentalis. Western Grebe. — Common 

 spring and fall migrant and observed during the winter months. 



2. Colymbus holboelli. Holbcell's Grebe. — Spring and fall 

 migrant. Sometimes noted during the winter. 



3. Colymbus nigricollis californicus. Eared Grebe.— Noted as a 

 migrant and during the winter. 



4. Podilymbus podiceps. Pied-billed Grebe. — Common summer 

 resident and breeds. 



5. Gavia immer. Loon. — Resident and breeds but not so commonly 

 as formerly in this immediate locality. More abundant during the winter. 



6. Gavia paciflca. Pacific Loon. — Noted as a fall migrant. 



7. Gavia stellata. Red-throated Loon. — To some extent a winter 

 resident. 



8. Lunda cirrhata. Tufted Puffin. — Apparently rare in this 

 immediate locality but not uncommon on the lower sound where it breeds 

 to some extent. 



9. Synthliboramphus antiquus. Ancient Murrelet. — Rare. A 

 specimen taken August 9, 1913 by D. E. Brown of Seattle. 



10. Brachyramphus marmoratus. Marbled Murrelet. — From 

 November until April a common resident becoming rarer as the season 

 progresses, but is observed intermittently during the balance of the year. 

 D. E. Brown has taken a number of birds in full breeding plumage, one of 

 which collected May 23, 1914 contained an egg an inch in diameter. It 

 would thus appear that this locality may be within the southern portion 

 of the breeding range of the species. 



11. Cepphus columba. Pigeon Guillemot. — Common resident 

 and breeds. 



12. Uria troille californica. Californica Murre. — Winter resi- 

 dent. / 



13. Stercorarius parasiticus. Parasitic Jaeger. — Noted on sev- 

 eral occasions in September and October flying about the bay in front of 

 the city.
