Pacific Ccast Avifauna No. 1: 
Birds of the Kotzebue Sound Region Aeaska, by Jos. Grinnell. 
This publication constitutes the first of a series of special papers to be issued 
by the Cooper Ornithological Club and is now ready for distribution. The paper 
deals with a region which has latterly become possessed of unusual interest from 
an ornithological standpoint, resulting from the increased activity of scientists 
within its limits. Pacific Coast Avifauna No. i consists of four parts, Introduction, 
Field-Notes, Bibliography and Checklist; it contains 8o pages of text of the size of 
this magazine and is supplemented with a three page map. 
The paper recites the author’s experiences among the birds during a twelve 
month’s stay in the Kotzebue Sound region, the biographies in many cases being 
extended and of great interest and value; Notes on the tiidification and life- 
history of 1 13 species and sub-species are given in the Field-Notes, embracing 
such birds as the Short-billed Gull, Red Phalarope, Alaskan Pine Grosbeak, 
White-winged Crossbill, Alaskan Jay, Varied Thrush, Red-spotted Bluethroat and 
numerous other species of special interest. The publication reflects Mr. Grinnell’s 
painstaking work and pleasing style of expression, and should find a place in 
every ornithological library.
