 Micliigan. 



The place of publication of the paper on the birds of Mich- 

 igan has never been given, and recent authors have been unable 

 to find it, although several, including th-c writer, have care- 

 fully searched for it. In 1913, while working over the sepa- 

 rates of the Division of Birds, U. S. National Museum, the 

 writer found the paper in a bound volume of separates former- 

 ly belonging to Professor S. F. IJaird. It had evidently been 

 extracted from a bound volume, and the pages were numbered 

 from 159 to 163, but there was nothing by wdiich one could 

 determine the name of the volume of which it had formed a 

 part. In September, 1914, Dr. Charles W. Richmond, U. S. 

 National Museum, kindly informed the writer of the discovery 

 that it had been published in Volume I of "The Peninsular 

 Journal of Medicine and the Collateral Sciences. Edited by 

 E. Andrews, A.M., M.D., Demonstrator of Anatomy in the 

 University of Michigan. Ann Arbor, Alichigan : Printed for 

 the Proprietors, by George E. Pomeroy & Co., Tribune Ofitice, 

 Detroit, 1853-4." 



A copy of this volume is in the librar\' of the University of 

 Michigan. In it there is a second paper by Fox, pages 352 and 

 353, entitled "Art. II. — The Birds of Michigan," which con- 

 sists of notes supplementary to the first paper.
