Book Description

Excerpt from A Distributional List of the Birds of California Of course, in each of the previous lists there have been some erroneous entries; but the omission of these names in the succeeding list has always been more than compensated for by additions during the intervening period. This process may be expected to continue almost ad infinitum, as long as faunal lists are published. As in the fifteen years or so just past, the increments will come chiefly through the detection of stragglers, and, judging from the nature of those already recorded, individuals representing practically every species and sub species in North America and the adjacent waters may be expected to reach California sooner or later. This would probably hold true as well for any other area in temperate America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
