The whole vol. in which thia article appears is oftenest cited as Vol. XII, Part 

 H ; but its proper quotation is Vol. SII, Book II, as per general title-page. The 

 zoology, which occnpies most of the vol., is officially Part III of Gov. Stevens's 

 Beporc, Part I (General, constituting Booli I) and Part II (Botanical, constitut- 

 ing a portion of Booli H) of which do not relate to zoology. Part HI, then, of 

 Book n, of Vol. XII, is the zoological portion of this report, No. 3 being orni- 

 thological. It consists of field -notes by Cooper and Snckley, on the birds, accom- 

 panied by the specific characters and some synonymy of each species, copied 

 from Baird's General Keport (Vol. IX). Each author contributea hia fiold- 

 notes over his initials to both chapters ; thia singular division of the oatenaible 

 authorship of the Land and Water Birda having resulted from some personal 

 matters of which I am cognizant, but which need not be hero published. Fol- 

 lowing the general account is a compiled "List of Birds heretofore reported as 

 found in the northwest part of America, but of which no specimens have been 

 procured by recent explorers " (pp. 288-291). The species figured are the follow- 

 ing: — l?l.xi,F(UconigriC€p8; jil. xyif £uteo cooperi ; pi. xxi, Corvus chrnivorus ; pi. 

 xxiii, 0. a/mericanus ; pi. xxiv, O. caurinus ; pi. xxv. Pica hudsonica ; pi. xxviii, f. 1, 

 Juvco dorsali3y f. 2, Passerculus sandwichensis ; pi. xxxviii, Fodiceps oceidentalis. 



Copies of this book were reissued under an entirely different title {N^atural 

 History of Washington Territory, etc.) ; but they are printed from the same plates, 

 and are substantially identical. The copies examined, both of the original and 

 of the reissue, date 1860 ; but I think other impres.sion3 of the original date 1859.
