LITERATURE UPON BIRDS OF OREGON 

 AND WASHINGTON. 



It will be of interest to some, perhaps to 

 many, to see a list of the publications — as far as 

 the author has found them — put forth by a 

 number of persons at various times, upon the 

 Birds of Oregon and Washington. It would be 

 of very great service if as many of these as 

 possible were gathered up and reprinted in some 

 inexpensive and convenient form. At present, 

 these papers are, for most persons, in inaccessi- 

 ble volumes. 



These several papers contain reliable lists — 

 with some descriptions of the habits — of birds 

 found in southwestern Oregon, numbering 191 ; 

 in northeastern Oregon, numbering 120 (eighty- 

 eight of those not in the previous list) ; three 

 lists of birds found in southwestern Washington ; 

 one list of 1 50 birds found in Chelan County, 

 central Washington ; and lists for three counties 

 in eastern Washington; — making, for the two 

 States, about 330 Land and Water Birds named 

 in the several sections.
