42 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 11 _ 
common, Townsend (Proc. U: S. Nat. Mus., x, 1887, p. 196) records the Trump- 
eter Swan as ‘‘rare’’ in northern California, though possibly only on the author- 
ity of Newberry. Evermann (Auk, 1, 1886, p. 91) records it from Ventura 
County as a winter visitant, ‘‘more common’’ than the Whistling. J. Grinnell 
(Bds. Los Angeles Co., 1898, p. 13) records two specimens as having been taken 
by A. M. Shields in Los Angeles County; but these were subsequently destroyed 
by fire, and the identification has been questioned (Willett, Pac. Coast Avif. no. 
7, 1912, p. 110). Belding (MS) identified three individuals “‘by description’’ 
in the markets of Stockton sometime previous to 1890. Actual specimens from 
California do not appear to exist in any American museum. The species has not 
been reported from California for at least the last seventeen years, and is appar- 
ently approaching extinction even in the heart of its range, in the Canadian 
provinces.
