CONSTITUTING 
Pacific Coast Avitaaria, No. 3.

It gives synonyms, ^seasons of occurrence and the range of 491 species 
and subspecies of birds known to inhabit California. 
This Check-list was issued June 20th and constitutes the7?^5/ complete list oj Calijornia

species, based upon their geographical range. This and other features, it is considered, will 
prove a great help to the amateur bird student.

and will be found complete to the present day. Every Californian worker will find it invaluablfe.
