 thology and pertains chiefly to the birds noted during 

 the survey of Oregon and Washington. There are also 

 a few references to Californian species, of particular

 separate authorship for the "Land Birds" and "Water 

 Birds," respectively, each evidently contributed written 

 accounts to both chapters. Cooper's initial as a rule 

 follows the most extended and detailed field notes.)
