114 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OK SCIENCES. 



Cooper, 1870. In the southern half of California the 

 crow is rarely seen on the sea beach but prefers the in- 

 land districts, occasionally, however, coming to tin; 

 shores of bays to feed. I never saw one in the Colo- 

 rado Valley nor near the summits of the Sierra Nevada. 



Santa Cruz. Joseph Skirm. Rare. 



Alameda and Contra Costa counties. W. E. Bryant. 

 None seen for several years; it formerly bred at Berke- 

 ley. 



Central California. L. B. Abundant resident in the 

 valleys; not seen in the Sierra in several years; no 

 record of seeing it there since 1878. 



Fort Klamath. Lieutenant Wittich. Rarely seen in 

 this region. 



Willamette Valley. 0. B. Johnson. Common resi- 

 dent, breeding in communities. 



Cooper, 1860. Near the coast it appears rarely, the 

 fish crow replacing it. 



Suckley, 1860. Occasionally met with in Washington 

 Territory but it is not abundant, being replaced by the 

 succeeding [Corvus caurinua.] 



Henshaw, 1879. In Oregon, especially east of the 

 mountains, crows are very numerous. 



Camp Harney. 



Ridgway. East of the Sierra Nevada so extremely 

 rare as to be met with on but two occasions. Speci- 

 mens at Truckee Meadows November 8 and Humboldt 

 Meadows October 31. 



Hoffman. Along the cliffs a few miles southeast of 

 Bull Run Mountain, and again in a similar locality, at 

 the southern extremity of Snaky Valley, found in con- 

 siderable numbers. Specimens were seen in California 

 near I'art/wick, just across the line. 



[I have never been able to detect any difference in 

 the notes of crows of California, Nebraska, or Central 

 Pennsylvania, and doubt if there is any].
