A REVIEW OF KANSAS ORNITHOLOGY. 
BY D. E. LANTZ, MANHATTAN, KAN, 
Read before the Academy October 28, 1897. 
I. The Bibliography of Kansas Birds. 
The following list of publications embraces books and articles containing refer- 
ences to birds found in the state and ornithological articles written by Kansas 
authors. But few references to fossil forms are included. I have been unable 
to find complete files of Forest and Stream; hence there are probably some 
omissions of articles from that journal. A number of amateur ornithological 
publications have not been examined for Kansas materials. With these excep- 
tions, I believe that the list is nearly complete. 
The order of arrangement is chronological, showing the gradual development 
of our knowlege of Kansas birds. Implied references and common names which 
do not clearly identify the species are not considered as additions to the avifauna 
of the state. 
It is to be regretted that so many of the early explorers of our western coun- 
try touched only on the eastern border of the state, and gave so meager an ac- 
count of our birds. Nebraska and Missouri were much more fortunate in this 
respect, since the Missouri and the Platte rivers became a sort of highway for 
exploring expeditions and travelers. 
The work of compiling the bibliographical references was made more difficult 
because of the scarcity of materials in our various Kansas libraries to which I 
might refer. The libraries of the Academy of Science, the State Historical Soci- 
ety, the Agricultural College and the State Library were freely consulted, and I 
had advice and assistance from Dr. Elliott Coues, of Washington, D. C., and Dr. 
J. A. Allen, of New York.
