opinion in regard to the status of various subspecies is based upon my present understanding of the respective problems as illustrated by the extensive
material at hand in the California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology.
While the sequence in Orders and Families is practically that of Knowlton, the species within each Family are arranged in the main in the order
given in Ridgway’s Birds of North and Middle America, as far as the groups
Otherwise the order of
have appeared in this as yet uncompleted work.
species and genera is nearly that of the A. 0. U. Check-List.
As a summary it is of interest to observe that, according to the present
enumeration, 530 species and subspecies of birds are attributed to the State
of California; discarding the third term of all trinomials, the number of “full
species” is found to be 403; 253 Genera are represented, 51 Families, and
eleven Orders.
Species with bracketed numbers are not of regular occurrence within

the borders of the state. In other words, while the inclusion of the species
so designated rests upon one or more perfectly authentic instances, these
are to be considered in the nature of casual, or “accidental”, occurrences.
There are 55 species out of the whole list, that belong in this category.
