Besides supplying many species not previously represented in 
our Museum, they possess, for scientific use, an unusual value, 
from the fact that they have been carefully worked over and 
named by the highest authorities on Indian ornithology. 
Of mounted birds, we have added during the year about 
twenty-five specimens, representing seventeen species, eight of 
which are forms peculiar to Lower California.
