NOTE. Since the text of this paper went to press, bird remains have 

 been found in the Upper San Pedro Pleistocene at San Pedro, Cal., by 

 Dr. F. C. Clark of Los Angeles. These remains were very generously 

 presented to the present writer by Dr. Clark, and by permission of the 

 latter, were deposited in the Vertebrate Palaeontology Collections at the 

 University of California. Three of the specimens are almost perfect, the 

 several others are too fragmentary for determination. One specimen repre- 

 sents an undescribed species of grebe of the genus ^chmophorus but in view 

 of the fact that the active exploration of these beds now going on will 

 possibly bring to light other remains of like nature, a description of the 

 species is thought unwise at present. 



Eemains of Bison, Equus, a camelid, rodents, seals, small turtles, and 

 sting rays have also been taken from these beds by Dr. Clark and the 



writer.
