Abstract
The Zoological Museum of the Leland Stanford Junior University contains several small collections of birds taken at various times in the western part of Alaska, and these I believe afford data of enough value to warrant the present paper. Dr. C. H. Gilbert of the Zoological Department of the University has kindly given me permission to work over the material, and has also aided me with pertinent suggestions. The Alaskan bird skins in the Museum number nearly two hundred, and were taken in the following localities: Pribilof Islands (both St. George and St. Paul), Amagnak Island, Belkoosky Bay, Unga Island, Kadiak Island and Prince William Sound. I have thought it better to record the birds in a separate list for each locality. Unfortunately there are no field-notes 2ccompanying the specimens, so that the annotations are chiefly of a technical nature. I have made use of the collection of the California Academy of Sciences in comparing specimens, as well as my own series of Alaskan birds.
