BKLDINO, L. A Partial List of the Birds of Central California. By 

 L. Uelding, of Stockton. Edited by R. Ridgway. J'roc. U. S. 

 N<it. MHS., Vol. I.. April, 187!), pp. 388-449. 



... It is based, . . upon observations extending through about 

 twenty years' residence in California, and upon collections made chiefly 

 during the last two years, which have from time to time, been forwarded 

 by Mr. Belding to the National Museum The number of species, 

 exclusive of the wading and swimming birds, is 15H . . In respect to 

 the designation of incipient species, Mr. Itidgway uniformly adopts the 

 system advocated by him in his paper on the use of trinomials in 

 zoological nomenclature in the present number of the Bulletin . . As 

 already stated. Mr. Kidgway was the first to adopt the system of pure 

 trinomiids, and we regret to note his divergence therefrom . . . . J. A. A.,
