consists of the field note-books of each of the party, 500 bird 
skins and ten sets of eges, part of these with nests. All of this 
“material, together with the mammals, has been donated by Miss 
Alexander to the University of California Museum of Vertebrate 
Zoology, and upon it the following report on the birds is based. 
Specimens of 84 out of the 89 species listed are represented in 
the collections. A detailed physiographic account of the region 
has been given by Edmund Heller in connection with his report 
upon the mammals of the Expedition. (See Univ. Calif. Publ. 
Zool., 5, no. 11, pp. 327-335.)
