BIOGRAPHICAL “INDEX 
The following index contains references to the biographical matter which has 
been published in the ‘ Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club’ and ‘The 
Auk.’ It includes the names of all persons whose obituary notices have appeared 
in the volumes from 1876 to 1914 inclusive and also the names of all members 
of the American Ornithologists’? Union who have died prior to the publication of 
this index. The earliest death in the list is that of Alexander Wilson in 1813, 
consequently the period covered by the Index is almost exactly the century which 
has elapsed since the death of the ‘Father of American Ornithology.’ Among 
the 275 names mentioned will be found many of those most prominent in the 
annals of ornithology in America and Europe especially during the last 40 years. 
Under each name are given six items: (1) reference to the biographical notice, 
(2) place of birth, (3) date of birth, (4) place of death, (5) date of death, and 
(6) age at death. Ages are stated in terms of the nearest year and the accom- 
panying signs -+ and — show whether or not the year was completed. For ex- 
ample, a person who was born on January 1, 1850 and died in 1900 was 50 years 
old at the time of his death. If he died in June, 1900, his age is stated as 50 + 
to show that he had lived 50 full years and some months or days; but if he died 
in July, 1900, his age is given as 51 — to indicate that he was in his fifty-first 
year and nearer 51 than 50. 
An asterisk (*) indicates that an announcement of the death of a member of 
the Union has been published in ‘The Auk’ but without any biographical notice. 
If such notice has appeared elsewhere a reference to the article is added,
