The biographical accounts relative to California birds contained in this great work, altho 

 quite extensive, are based almost entirely on previously pviblisht material of the various 

 explorers. The Appendix at the end of \'olume III, however, includes a number of 

 Cooper's field observations made after the publication of his "Ornithology of California"; 

 and some of these are of especial importance.
