CALIFORNIA WATER BIRDS. 365 



vol. i, Jan. 19, 1888, pp. 25-50, pi. 1=' Map of Farallon 

 Island.' 



An annotated list of eighty-one species based upon the observations of 

 W. Otto Emerson, conducted on South Farallon between June 14 and July 

 2, 1885, and May 2 and June 2, 1887, supplemented by information supplied 

 by Mrs. W. H. Rugg, wife of the chief light-keeper.
