THE CONDOR 
Vol. XIII 
(6, 7, (S, 9) yield twenty-tliree species, all but eight of which still live. Three new' 
genera of Raptores are represented and one new family is represented by the 
anomalous Teratornis Dierriami. 
The discussion of the other four horizons is still in manuscript by Miller, and 
further study is required before publication. Results which are conclusive, how- 
ever, though thus far unpublished would raise the number of fossil species known 
to the coast to the total of one hundred and fifteen. Of these 19.1 per cent are 
now extinct. 
Anomalies in distribution are noticeable in the record of Phoenicof terns in 
Oregon by Shufeldt, and of Sarcorhamphus^ Catharista, Pavo, Ciconia and 
Jabirii from Rancho La Brea by Miller. It will be noticed that most of these 
anomalies are cases of genera now' more southern in their distribution.

A COLLECTION OF WINTER BIRDS FROM TRINITY AND SHASTA 
COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA 
By LDULSlt KELLOGG 
I N FEBRUARY of this year Miss Alexander and the writer undertook a month’s 
trip into Trinity County, partly as a preliminary survey for further work dur- 
ing the summer, and partly because we w'anted to see how much and what 
kind of a collection of birds and mammals a person could make in the mountains 
in the winter. Hopes w'ere entertained of getting all sorts of unusual birds that 
might come there as wdnter visitants, and in one respect at least these hopes were 
realized in the finding of the Bohemian Waxwing. Then, too, we had an interest 
in seeing what the winter pelage of such small mammals as do not hibernate might 
be. 
We went from Redding by stage to Weaverville over the snow-covered Trinity 
divide, and hearing there that a good trapper was working at Helena we went on 
some eighteen miles farther to tliat town, if such it may be called, which is situated 
at the junction of the Trinity River and its North Fork. The town consisted 
merely of a hotel, a .store and a couple of houses, and it was interesting to find that 
it was a settlement of native sons and daughters, whose parents had been drawn 
there by the gold excitement of earlier days. The narrow canyon of the North 
Fork opens out enough to make a little farming possible; but the wooded hills are 
close on every side and higher mountains are in sight just beyond. The life zone 
was considered high Upper Sonoran, some of the principal trees and shrubs being
