used by Baird in 1858 and 1864, and

Birds which have been named in 
honor of Dr. J. G. Cooper are Biiteo 
cooperi Cassin (status now in doubt), 
Podiceps cooperi Lawrence

Birds, by Dr. G. Suckley, U. S. A. pp. 
140-291, 8 Pll. (This was Cooper’s first 
published article on ornithology and 
pertains chiefly to the birds noted dur- 
ing the survey of Oregon and Wash- 
ington. There are also a few' references 
to Californian species, of particular 
note being his account of the capture 
of the unique type of Bideo cooperi 
Cassin, at Mountain View, Santa Clara 
County. Although Cooper and Suckley 
present separate authorship for the 
“Land Birds” and “Water Birds,” re- 
spectively, each evidently contributed 
written accounts to both chapters. 
Cooper’s initial as a rule follows the 
most extended and detailed field-notes.)
