In the August number of THE CONDOR (XI, 1909, p. 129), Mr. J. Grinnell records a specimen of the Little Brown Crane (Grus canadensis) killed some ten or twelve years ago near Santa Ana, and adds, that "the present seems to be the first definite record of the species for the State" (italics are mine).

In fact it is not, as the late Mr. Vosnessensky procured several specimens of Grus canadensis in California in the forties (a ♂ ad., February 23 in Northern California, ♀ ad. January 10, St. Raphael Mission, Northern California, and juv. November, Herba Buena, San Francisco Bay) and this fact was recorded, with full measurements of these specimens, in my paper in The Ibis, April, 1907, pp. 364-365.
