* Nearly all the articles on natural history included in the Annual Record of Science and 

 Industry were published during 1871 either in Harper's New Monthly Magazine or in Harp- 

 er's Weekly, a Journal of Civilization, and are entitled to individual record, but it is more 

 convenient, both for compilation and reference, to mention them collectively imder the title 

 of the Annual Record for each year. 



I have been somewhat perplexed to decide in what manner it is best to cite the .articles con- 

 tributed by Professor Baird to the scientiflc columns of Harper's Monthly and Harper's 

 Weekly and subsequently each year collected together in the Annual Record of Science and 

 Industry. Many of these are original contributions to knowledge, never elsewhere pub- 

 lished. Others are critical reviews or notes upon the current literature of science. Others 

 are abstr.acts of scientific papers, with the addition of explanatory or illustrative remarks. 

 Others still are abstracts of papers, for the most part in the words of the authors of the 

 papers or of some other reviewer. Those in the latter categorj^ are the most numerous, and 

 these it has not been thought necess.ary to cite in this list. I have endeavored to refer to all 

 those articles, however brief, ^hich contain original matter or critical opinions. "WTiere 

 thtise are reviews or abstracts, this fact is indicated in the appended explanatory remark. 



A strict adherence to the usage of bibliographers would necessitate references to the orig- 

 inal places of publication. This would have made necessary a great amount of extra labor, 

 which would hardly have been piofitable, since close questions of priority of authorship are 

 rarely, if ever, involved. I rest contented, therefore, with the citation of pages in the An- 

 nual Record, following the example of Mr. S. H. Scudder and other bibliographers in treat- 

 ing this as a scientific serial, to be regarded in the same light as the jjroceedings of a society. 

 The headings are those used in the Anntial Record, the originally published articles having 

 been printed as p.iragraphs without titles. Persons who may need to use the original pub- 

 lication will find this list an aid. 



I have been obliged to use my personal judgment In culling the articles. Xo rules could 

 be applied.
