646 ^ CENTURY OF PROGRESS IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES 



being The Wilso7i Bulletin, which survives today. At first devoted primarily to 

 the field ornithology of the jMiddle West it has more recently included papers of 

 wide scope and high quality. Among its editors have been Lynds Jones, Thomas 

 C. Stephens, and Josselyn Van Tyne. 



The Cooper Ornithological Club was organized on June 22, 1893. The Bulle- 

 tin of the Cooper Ornithological Cluh began publication in 1899; in the follow- 

 ing year the name of the journal was changed to The Condor. As editor from 

 1906 to 1939, Joseph Grinnell was largely responsible for its continuing success. 

 His high standards have been continued by Alden H. Miller. In 1952 the name 

 of the organization was officially changed to Cooper Ornithological Society.

The preceding list includes some of the more enduring and important peri- 

 odicals which contain only ornithological papers. In addition, many papers deal- 

 ing with birds regularly appear in such journals as the Proceedings of the 

 Zoological Society of London, Evolution, and the journals of psychology, physi- 

 ology, anatomy, etc., in all languages. 



The "occasional papers," "proceedings," "transactions," "novitates," "comp- 

 tes rendus," "archives," etc., of museums and universities are other important 

 sources of ornithological literature. 



The Zoological Record is undoubtedly the most nearly complete bibliographic 

 reference source for zoological literature. The "Aves" section averages nearly 

 1,500 references per year. It is certain that well over 100,000 books and papers 

 on birds have been published during our Century of Progress.
