Another Record of the Alaska Water-thrush in California.—On the 29th of September 1906, I secured a female specimen of Seiurus noveboracensis notabilis near National City, San Diego County, California. A pair of this species were feeding, with several song sparrows, along the slimy mud exposed by low water in a fresh-water pond about one mile from San Diego Bay. They were not at all shy and allowed me to approach within easy "auxilliary" range. This was at 7 a. m., and the stomach of the bird secured was filled with what looked like tiny seeds.—C. B.
