Some very interesting remarks upon a small collection of only eight 
species, obtained by Dr. E. Palmer on this little island off the Californian 
coast. The affinities of these species are almost entirely with those of 
Western North America, there being no peculiar types, and each 
species having a more or less closely related representative on the con- 
tinent.

This report treats principally of the Great Basin between 39® and 42® 
N. lat., and of the neighbourhood of Sacramento City, California. The 
total number of species of birds observed is 262, and the descriptions 
are accompanied by full and highly interesting field-notes respecting 
habitats, manners, and nidification ; much light is also thrown upon geo- 
graphical distribution.

This work, with its chromo-lithographic illustrations, is now con-
