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.”
