In closing a short notice cf this tic General Report on the Ornithology of the 

 Pacific Railroad Surveys, it ^ill be well to recapitulate the several special asso- 

 ciated reports, scattered through the series of volumes in such irregular fashion 

 that their accurate quotation becomes amatterof the greatest difficulty, — in fact, I 

 have never seen a full and precise citation made by any one not thoroughly con- 

 versant with the composition of the whole publication. In the i^reseut Biblio- 

 graphy, I have adop'ed the method of quoting in full the general titie-page of 

 the whole volume la which each report appears, following this with quotation of 

 the special sub-title page of the zoological portion, and this with quotation of the 

 particular title of the ornithological article, giving the pp. and pU. only of the 

 latter. 

 Bird-matter is found in the following volumes : — 

 Vol. IV, 1856. Part VI, No. 1. Kesxeuly's Report, pp. 1-17 (being preliminary 



to his final report, which appeared in vol. X, 1859). 

 Vol. VI, 1857. Part IV, No. 2. Newberry's Report, pp. 73-110, -l-i-iv, pll. 



(■Williamson's & Abbot's Routes in California and Oregon). 

 VoL IX, 1858. Baird's General Report, occupying the whole vol. 

 Vol. X, 1859. The first half of this singularly composite vol. is occupied with 

 Baird's General Report on Reptiles of all the Surveys (plates only— text 

 never published), and Gi.tAKD's General Report on the Fishes (text and 

 plates). The rest consists of a great number of detached deferred zoologi- 

 cal articles, huddled together pell mell, belonging to reports which con- 

 stitute previous vols, of the series ; among them are four bird-articles, as 

 follows:— Baird's, 071 JJiVrfs 0/ Gunnison's and Beckwith's Routes near 36th, 

 39th, and 41st parallels, being No. 2, pp. Il-IG, pll., and belonging to the 

 report published in the ii. vol. cf the series ; Kennerly's, on Birds of 

 Whipple's Route near 35th parallel, being No. 2, pp. 19-35, pll., of Part VI of 

 report published in the iv. vol. of the series ; Heermank's, (1), on Birds of 

 Parke's Route near 3id parallel, being No. 1, pp. 9-20, pll., of report pub- 

 lished in the vii vol. of th^^ series ; Heermann's, (2), on Birds of William- 

 ton's Routes in California near 3oth and 3^d parallels, being No. 2, pp. 29-80, 

 pll., of Part IV of report published in the v. vol. of the series. The dis- 

 continuous pagination of this vol. X, and the fact that the " Parts " which 

 appear to refer to it really refer to portions of previous vols., render it 

 impossible to cite these articles except by reference to the routes by 

 name, or to the printer's signatuies at bottom of the pages. 

 Vol. XII, 18C0. Book II. Part III, No. 3, Chaps. I, II. pp. 140-290, pll. 

 Cooper & Suckley's, en Birds of Governor Stevens's Route near iVh and 

 49t/i parallels.

Separate reissue, v. I. p., with new title-page, of pp. xvii-lvi of the author's 

 main work. Besides the list of 7.'^8 spp., with habitats, these sheets contain a 

 table of the higher groups, list of extrallmital species (23) which are included in 

 the work, and of those (31) claiming to be North American, but not .so identified, 

 and a summary of the total number as variously given by Wilson, Bonaparte, 

 and Audubon. The species being all numbered, the brochure was much used 

 for several years for practically convenient reference to the species by number.
