  PROCEEDINGS 
  OF 
  THE 
  CALIFORNIA 
  

  

  ever, 
  except 
  upon 
  the 
  northern 
  shore, 
  where 
  in 
  a 
  sheltered 
  inlet 
  I 
  discovered 
  a 
  

   colony 
  of 
  red 
  cyclops. 
  

  

  The 
  water 
  in 
  August 
  was 
  intensely 
  cold, 
  of 
  a 
  bright 
  green 
  color 
  near 
  the 
  

   shore 
  line, 
  and 
  a 
  deep 
  blue 
  at 
  a 
  little 
  distance 
  from 
  it. 
  

  

  Mountains 
  of 
  volcanic 
  origin 
  rise 
  somewhat 
  abruptly 
  from 
  the 
  water, 
  yet 
  

   one 
  may 
  make 
  the 
  circuit 
  of 
  the 
  lake 
  without 
  any 
  difiBculty, 
  upon 
  horseback. 
  

  

  The 
  surplus 
  water 
  escapes 
  from 
  the 
  southern 
  extremity 
  into 
  Warner 
  Valley 
  

   over 
  a 
  sharp 
  declivity 
  of, 
  I 
  should 
  say, 
  more 
  than 
  two 
  thousand 
  feet. 
  At 
  this 
  

   outlet 
  I 
  discovered 
  specimens 
  of 
  Spirogyra 
  and 
  several 
  other 
  varieties 
  of 
  fresh- 
  

   water 
  Alga. 
  As 
  this 
  lake 
  was 
  comparatively 
  unknown 
  and 
  without 
  name, 
  I 
  

   gave 
  it 
  that 
  of 
  Livingstone. 
  

  

  On 
  motion 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Brooks, 
  it 
  was 
  resolved 
  that 
  the 
  lake 
  in 
  Plu- 
  

   mas 
  County 
  described 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Harkness 
  be 
  called 
  " 
  Lake 
  Hark- 
  

   ness 
  " 
  instead 
  of 
  " 
  Lake 
  Livinsrstone."

  Islands.

  Reiten, 
  of 
  Pittsburgh, 
  Pa.,

  summer 
  duck 
  (^Anas

   sa). 
  W. 
  G.

  Dr. 
  Harkness 
  presented 
  specimens 
  of 
  volcanic 
  

   ash 
  from 
  the 
  recent 
  volcano 
  in 
  Plumas 
  County, 
  California. 
  Charles 
  

   P. 
  Kimball 
  donated 
  two 
  slates, 
  on 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  each 
  of 
  which 
  a 
  

   fungus 
  (^PenicilliuTn) 
  had 
  grown, 
  having 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  deli- 
  

   cate 
  tracery. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  J. 
  G. 
  Cooper 
  stated 
  that 
  the 
  bird 
  presented 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Blunt, 
  

   called 
  "Foolish 
  Guillemot" 
  (^Uria 
  lomvia') 
  by 
  the 
  whalers, 
  was 
  the 
  

   first 
  of 
  the 
  kind 
  obtained 
  on 
  the 
  California 
  coast. 
  It 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  

   the 
  Arctic 
  Ocean, 
  and 
  the 
  far 
  north 
  Atlantic, 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  doubt-
