BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



I have given under the above title a partial list of various books and 

 periodicals which contain articles relating more or less directly to the 

 Ornithology and Oology of Maine. This list is neither complete nor does it 

 claim to be especially exact, being intended to serve merely as an aid to 

 those desiring to know what has been previously written relating to our 

 birds. Only a few of the publications cited are devoted exclusively to Maine 

 birds, the vast majority being devoted to North American birds in general.
