 194 Vol. XVIII SOME BIRDS OF THE FRESNO DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES By JOHN (. TYLER N Pacific Coast Avifauna No. 9, one hundred and sixty-one species and sub- species of birds were listed as occurring within the region under consider- ation. Recent field work has enabled me to identify a number of others and I have also had the pleasure of examining a small collection of skins belonging to Mr. H. C. Ohl, from which I obtained several interesting records. Occasional mention was made in Avifauna No. 9 of the New Hope District, a schoolhouse of that name furnishing the only means of locating a rather sparsely settled portion of Fresno County. A railroad has since been con- structed and the embryonic city of Helm, with its postoffice of the same name, has arisen to dispossess the school of the honor of being the only nameable object in a vast area of interesting country. The seventh line on page 15 in my former paper should read "Herminghaus" instead of "Chowchilla" Ranch, the latter being an inexcusable error on my part. The thirty-three birds listed herewith brings the total for the Fresno District up to one hundred and ninety-four. 162. EARED GREBE.. Colymbus nigricoiiis californicus (Heermann). 163.
