(“Alta California” of Feb. 12, 1855 publishes also a list purporting to be correct for Jan. 1, 1855, 160 names, on which the above do not appear. List printed May 29, 1855, as of Jan. 1, 1855, incorporates the above, giving a total of 175. Upon examing the list as of Sept. 1, 1854, published in the San Francisco Herald Oct. 17-19, 1854, it becomes apparent that the above list is intended to show the additions between Sept 1 and Dec. 31, 1854; and the list published May 29, 1855, in Alta California, is probably correct for Jan. 1, 1855 as stated.)
