THE CONDOR [ VoL. VIII of a low cliff. Outside depth too min.; inside depth 60; outside diameter I4O; inside diameter 60. The eggs measure: 24.0 min. by i9.8 min.; 25.0 by I8.5; 24.7 by t 8.9. In English Bay, June t6, adults were taken in worn breeding plumage, the tails badly abraded. On Tigalda August 3, adult male and female taken in moult; these had new tails half grown and the following primaries new in each, wing: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. A few new feathers on back, head and flanks. On Akun July 28, an adult with very short new tail was killed. Young in first full plum- age were taken on Unalga June 29. Itirundo erythrogaster palmeri Grinnell. Alaska Barn Swallow. The Alaska barn swallow was seen about English Bay, Unalaska, and at no other locality. On June i6 two flew over, and again on June ?9 a few were seen. June 30 twenty or more were flying over the flats and a nest containing one egg was found on a rocky shelf in the face of a sea cliff. Specimens of this swallow were collected, one of which constitutes the type of paltoefl. At Unimak, July 23, four or five swallows flew over which looked like ;rid- oprocne bicolor. Antbus pensilvanicus (Latham). American Pipit. The pipit was first en- countered at Dutch Harbor where a male with enlarged testes was taken on May ?7; an adult female was taken in the same locality on May 2?. On Unimak one adult and one young were killed July 23; on the same island August ?4, birds of this species were common feeding in dead seaweed along the beach and four young in fresh fall plumage were taken. On Aektok August 25, one young bird in fresh fall plumage was killed. Cinclus mexicanus unicolor (Bonaparte). Ameri%an Dipper. The dipper seems to be very scarce and there are in fact but few places where this species would feel at home. One was seen on a small creek in English Bay June 2, and again on June ?6. No specimens were collected. 01biorchilus alascensis (Baird). Alaska Wren. This mite ot a wren was found in rock slides dodging in and out of crevices so as to make it a matter of some difficulty to kill one. The species was found on Amaknak May ?9, and again August ?7 when four were taken near the beach. One was taken on Aektok on August ?5, and one was seen on Akutan September x. A List of Birds Collected Between Monterey and San Simeon in the Coast Range of California BY HUBERT O. JENKINS N the summer of 19o 5 the author in company with a friend, Lloyd Newland of Palo Alto, made a collecting expedition thru southern Monterey County. We left the town of Monterey on June 6, and reached San Simeon (San Luis Obispo County) on July 20, going by way of the coast trail and returning by boat. We took three pack animals to carry supplies, and by stopping for about a week at the end of every two or three days' travel, we are able to make a fairly thoro survey of the coast fauna, particular attention being paid to the birds and small
