New Facts relating to Californian Ornithology—No. 1. 
BY J. G. COOPER, M. D. 
The publication of the volume on Land Birds in the series of Reports of 
the Geological Survey of California brought down the history of that class 
of animals, for the most part, to 1870, although, having been written five 
years previously, many additional facts had accumulated, which could not 
be introduced into it, as only stereotyped proof-sheets were sent to me for 
correction. Some of these facts have been published by me in our Proceedings 
for 1868, Vol. IV, p. 3, as ‘‘ Some recent additions to the Fauna of California,”’ 
and more or less contributed to the ‘‘ American Naturalist,’’ or the following 
more recent works. The present remarks are intended to include only such 
later items as haye never been published, or such opinions as differ from 
those of later authors. The following are the chief works relating to this 
subject that have appeared since 1865: 
Birds of Ft. Whipple, Arizona, or Prodrome of Ornithology of Arizona 
Territory. By E. Coues, A. M., M.D., U.S.A. From Proc. Phila. Acad. 
Nat. Sciences, Jan. 1868. 
The New and heretofore Unfigured Birds of North America. By D. G. 
Elliott. New York, 1869. Folio. 
List of Birds of Alaska, with biographical notes. By Wm. H. Dall and H. 
Bannister. From the Proc. Chicago Acad. of Sciences, 1869, 4to. Also Mr. 
Dall’s later articles in our Proceedings, on Alaskan birds.
