 however, contains many new plates besides those previously appearing in the Pac. R. R. 

 Reports and the ]Mex. Boundary Survey.

Includes birds of all the region west of the Rocky Mountains. Many species are given 

 as occurring "undoubtedly" in California but of which no specific instances are known. 

 These, of course, cannot be considered as definite records of the species for California. Also 

 the "Habitat" of several southwestern species is stated to be "Colorado Valley, California." 

 But Cooper's observations are in most cases expressly stated as having been made in that 

 region at Fort Mojave, which is on the Arizona side. (vSee Auk VII, April 1890, 214.) The 

 biographical accounts of the species entered in this work are mostly meager, and there is 

 really very little new information of any sort. The technical parts were prepared by Baird.
