 and one term as Second Vice President. During the time 

 of the auxiliary clubs he was the President of the Zoolog- 

 ical Club. Much of his active work in connection with 

 the Academy has been in palaeontology, and he was for 

 some time curator of this section. A large number of his 

 works were first published in the Proceedings of the 

 Academy. He did considerable work on the Geological 

 Survey of California under Whitney, a portion of this be-

 compiled the catalogue of California Fossils for the Min-

Our first impulse was to give a full catalogue of his 

 publications, but having arranged a full list of titles, we

 sketch in a better manner if a synopsis by subjects were 

 given in lieu of the catalogue: On Conchology, 43 papers, 

 Botany, 6 papers, Ornithology, 12 papers, Mammals, 8 

 papers, other scientific subjects, 7 papers. Total, 76. 

 While his scientific work has been a varied one, it is his 

 ornithological work that particularly interests our Club, 

 and it may be inappropriate for the BULLETIN to present 

 any other phase, yet before examining his ornithological 

 contributions we cannot retrain from mentioning other 

 work for the reason that it bears so directly on certain 

 phases of his purely ornithological work. Necessarily we 

 must omit any reference to conchology and palaeontology, 

 as the scope of the BULLETIN will not admit of such dis-
