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 Gill, 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Gill, who had withdrawn from the 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 Fishhawk: 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.
