a Cassin Vireo taken is the first of the species seen
by me this trip. The continued presence of
Pileolated Warblers suggests that they may winter
here. I saw a company of 12 or so Chipping
Sparrows in small willows next to the sage.
Heard a single Lawrence Goldfinch. Red-shafted
Flickers are impressively common. Saw one
Sparrow Hawk.
In the book-case at the Meling's I ran
across the following book:


True Bear Stories By Joaquin Miller, with
Introductory Notes by Dr. David Starr Jordan,
President of Leland Stanford, Jr., University. Together
with a thrilling account of the capture of the
celebrated grizzly "Monarch" Fully Illustrated.
Chicago and New York; Rand, McNally and Company,
& Co. 8 vo (small), pp. 4 + 1 - 259.
Extremely popular in style, semi-juvenile.
Chapter XVII describes the capture of the bear
"Monarch", as accomplished by "special reporter
Allen Kelly" as an Examiner stunt. This chapter
is evidently taken from said newspaper
practically verbatim. A sort of addendum

has a separte (sic) title: Scientific Classification

Black Bear of California. Ursus Californiensis."
