THE OSPREY AN ILLUSTRATED 

 MONTHLY MAGAZINE of BIRDS & 

 NATURE (contents) Complete Series, 

 Volume VI. THE OSPREY COMPANY, 

 WASHINGTON, D. C. (cover form of 

 Volume I, New Series, 1902.) Super- 

 royal 8 vo. 



Vol. I, (new series), Nos. 1-7, Jan.- 

 July, 1902, pp. 108+42 (suppl.)&15 pll. 

 (Suspended after No. 6, No. 7 not plac- 

 ed in general circulation. 



The first two numbers edited by Wal- 

 ter A. Johnson and Dr. A. C. Murchi- 

 son, the California department by Don- 

 ald A. Cohen, the latter in place of 

 Chester Barlow as originally announc- 

 ed in the April prospectus; and this 

 periodical also published the proceed- 

 ings of the Michigan Ornithological 

 Club. After the second number edited 

 by Walter A. .Johnson alone until Dr. 

 Coues became associated with him 

 March, 1897, and the place of publica- 

 tion removed to 141 East 25th St., New 

 York City. At the instance of Dr. 

 Coues, it was purchased by Dr. Theo- 

 dore (iill, and removed to Washington, 

 D. C. October, 1899, and the latter two 

 gentlemen became the editors, with 

 Walter A. Johnson, associate, and 

 Louis Agassiz Fuertes art editor. Dr. 

 Gill, who had withdrawn from the 

 April and May numbers, again assum- 

 ed the editorship by June, upon the 

 retirement of Dr. Coues. 



Vol. V, No. 2, the editors were Dr. 

 Theodore Gill in collaboration with 

 Robert Ridgway, Leonard Stejneger, 

 Frederic A. Lucas, Charles W. Rich- 

 mond, Paul Bartsch, William Palmer 

 and Harry C. Oberholser, of Washing- 

 ton, and Witmer Stone of Philadelphia. 

 The only change made in the new ser- 

 ies was the elevation of Paul Bartsch 

 to chief editorship with Dr. Gill. 



Among the special features "Wil- 

 liam Swainson and His Times," "The 

 Osprey or Pishhawk: Its Characteris- 

 tics and Habits," and as a supplement 

 to the final volume: "General History 

 of Birds," all by Dr. Gill. This by far 

 the most brilliant of the minor orni- 

 thological periodicals, in all that goes 

 to make a success, was nevertheless 

 a failure. Volume I is very scarce and 

 worth about $6.00. .
