Art. XVII.— Second Iii^nfaliiioiit of Aiiicrican Oriii- 

 lliolo^'icnl Biblio^rnphy. 



By Dr. Elliott Cones, ir. S. A. 



Part First of the "Birds of the Colorado Valley ", etc., contains a 

 I>iblio;nraplii(.'al A]>i)t'udix (pp. 5G7-784, or [1]-[218]), ■\vhieh consists of 

 a "List of Faunal I*ublieations rehiting" to Xortli American Orni- 

 tJiology", being the first instalment of a Universal Bibliography of 

 Ornithology npon which the anthor of that "vvoi'k is still engaged. 



The present article may be considered to continue the subject, as it 

 gives the titles of " Faunal Publications" relating to the Ornithology of 

 tlie rest of America. 



Tlie former i^iece of Mork has been received with great favor by 

 ornithologists, whose kind expressions of interest assure him that liis 

 bil)liographical material is Avelcome. 



This further instabnent of tlie work is constructed npon the same 

 l)rinciples as tlie other, and with the same great pains to secure good 

 results. Though of course much less extensive, containing only about 

 700 titles, it is scarcely less complete, and no less accurate, than the 

 Xorth ^Vraerican portion. The compiler takes this occasion to renew 

 the request that those who are interested in the matter will iioint out 

 defects which may be detected in any portion of the work now printed. 



To those who may not be informed of the general plan of the whole 

 Bibliography, he may explain that it is modelled after the " Zoological 

 Record", and that the titles given in this second instalment are only 

 those which an editor of the " Record " would have brought under the 

 head of " Neotropical Region " — all general and miscellaneous works, 

 and all those upon x>articular species, genera, or families of birds, being 

 excluded.
