Announcement. 

 Fauna of New England. 



The Society will issue, as volume seven of the Occasional Papers, 

 a Catalogue of the animals of New England. 



Parts will be published at irregular intervals, and though the 

 details of the several lists will vary somewhat in the different 

 groups, each list will include: 1st, the accepted name (scientific 

 and vernacular); 2d, reference to the original description, with 

 record of locality; 3d, reference to an authentic description and 

 illustration; and 4th, habitat and occurrence. 



The Societv considers these lists a necessarv preliminarv to a 

 series of comprehensive, illustrated monographs, the publication 

 of which the Society has already begun. The Society also believes 

 that these lists will aid in the accumulation of valuable material for 

 the New England collection. A price list of the parts already pub- 

 lished will be found on the back cover page. 



Toward the accomplishment of its aims the Society invites the 

 cooperation of all interested in the Fauna of New England. 



Communications concerning specimens should be addressed to 

 the Curator of the Society (Chas. W. Johnson), notes and records 

 of occurrence to the Editor of the "Fauna of New England."
