46 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No, 12 
H. W. Henshaw (1) reports that during the middle of June, 1875, on Santa 
Cruz Island, several of these birds had paired and were living on the beaches. 
He thought that they may have been breeding, but in this conclusion I believe 
that he may have been mistaken.

December, 1908. He (MS) also saw many at San Nicolas during January, 1911. 
J. G. Cooper (1) recorded it from Catalina, and Linton (2) met with it at Santa
