 no authorities for these statements are cited.

Of the 100 species briefly described or commented upon, the greater part were evidently 

 obtained on the coast of California. But unfortunately in many cases the locality of capture 

 is omitted. Only the following are definitely stated to have been obtained at vSan Francisco 

 or ]\Ionterey: Falco sparverius, Bubo Vitginianus (=subs. ?), Alcedo Alcyon {—Ceryle 

 alcyon) ,Tiirdus niigratorius {--Planesticiis migratorius propinquiis), Fringilla Canadensis ? 

 {=Zonotrichia leucophrys nitttallif), Fringilla hyemalis {~—Junco hyemalis pinosus), 

 Fringilla meruloides n. s. {^=Passerella iliaca mer u hides) , Agelaius phoeniceus { = A. 

 gnbernator californicus), Garriilns Californicus n. s. PI. V {—Aphelocoma californica), 

 Picus villosus { = Dryobates villosus hyloscopus) , Piciis ruber {=Sphyrapiciis varius ruber), 

 Picns fonnicivorus {^Melanerpes formicivorus bairdt), Colaptes collaris n. s. PI. IX 

 {-—Colaples ca/er collaris), Sitta pygmcca n. s. PI. IV, Columba monilis n. s. PI. X (=C 

 fasciata), Ardea exillis {=^Ardctia exilis), Recurvirostra occidenlalis n. s. PI. XII (=/?. 

 americana), Clangula albeola {—Charitonelta albeola). Lams Sabini {^=Xema sabini), and 

 Diomedea fuligi)iosa {=D ni gripes). Besides these, Charadrius tnelodus {=^gialitis 

 vieloda?) and Ortyx Douglasii \\. s. PI. XI [=Lophortyx douglasii) are accredited to San 

 Francisco and Monterey, respectively. But it seems likely that the latter anyway was ob- 

 tained on the ^Mexican coast. Either vSan Francisco or Monterey has been subsequently 

 fixed by elimination, for certain of the species described by Vigors but with no locality in- 

 dicated. These include Muscicapa se>niatra n. s. {^Sayornis nigricans), Troglodytes spi- 

 liirusw. s. PI. IV {=Thryomancs bervickii spilurus), and Fringilla crissalisn. s. {—Pipilo 

 crissalis). Several of the forms marked as n (ew) s(pecies) hail been previously described 

 in the Zoological Journal.
