This is an annotated list of 82 species, a large nuud^er of which are for the first time 

 accredited to California. The accompanying notes, in some cases cpiite extended, are of 

 value in that they indicate the abundance and distribi:tion at that time of species 

 now rare or local. Of particular interest in this respect are the remarks on the California 

 Vulture, Raven, and Yellow-billed Magpie. However, all the species mentioned are still 

 to be found somewhere within the vState, except Quiscahis major, which Gambel claims was 

 occasionally seen in his time as far north as Upper California.
