LEVITON, WOGAN, & ALDRICH: SCIENTIFIC BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 
CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, 1854-2010 
(Reprinted from the 1880 report in Daily Alta California 
newspaper. 
This paper, presented at a meeting of the California 
Academy of Sciences, was in effect privately printed 
because publication of the regular Academy Proceed¬ 
ings had been suspended in late 1877 due to the lack of 
funds for publication. A series of privately printed 
papers ensued and are often cited as if they had been 
published in the Proceedings of the California Academy 
of Sciences. A Bulletin was begun by the Academy in 
1884, but publication of the Bulletin ceased in 1887 
when formal publication of the Proceedings was begun 
again in December 1887 as the “second series.” 
Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences at a 
reception given to the Captain and officers of the U.S. 
Steamer Thomas Corwin and captains of the Pacific 
Whaling Fleet on their return from the Arctic; their 
views, and unanimous expression of relief in the 
Jeannette’s safety; speculations concerning the where¬ 
abouts of the missing whalers, Vigilant and Mount 
Wollaston , including a paper read before the Academy 
December 6, 1880, by Charles Wolcott Brooks, member 
of the California Academy of Sciences.
