LIST OP WORKS. 417 



A work of far wider interest than the title implies. Colonel Goss 

 studied birds in many lands, and his pages testify to the keenness of 

 his observation.

 The Birds of Florida with the Water and Game Birds of Eastern North 

 America; and the concluding seven (x-xvi, 1879-'82) with the title as 

 quoted in full above.
