Most American naturalists are aware of the extensive exploration of the Lower California peninsula carried on in the years 1905-1908 by Dr. E. W. Nelson and E. A. Goldman, as part of the general survey of Mexico under the auspices of the Biological Survey, but hitherto no report of their operations has appeared. The present account is based primarily upon this exploration with such additional matter. From other sources, is deemed worthy of incorporation. The itinerary covers about thirty pages and is a most interesting narrative. Illustrated by numerous excellent views of the varied country through which the expedition passed. Then follows an account of the physical characteristics: recent geological history: coastal and other mountains, comprising descriptions of the various mountain chains of the peninsula, the plains, valleys and streams and the coastal islands. The climate is then considered, and finally the plant and animal life, and its distribution. There are 100 animals, 286 land birds, 144 water birds and 102 reptiles known From Lower California and its adjacent islands.
