 department has shown that the rhea is not properly classed as an ostrich

Full Names of Authors in ' The Auk.' — In preparing the gen- 

 eral Index of 'The Auk' published in 1907 the committee in charge of the 

 work endeavored to give names of authors in full but the requisite in- 

 formation proved impossible to obtain in many cases and consequently 

 about 170 names appeared in more or less incomplete form. The com- 

 mittee which is indexing the volumes from 1901 to 1910 inclusive, in fol- 

 lowing the plan of the former Index, has made special efforts to secure this 

 information and has succeeded in obtaining the full names of nearly all the 

 authors mentioned in the recent volumes and has also secured about 130 

 of those which were incomplete in the former Index. 



Some 46 names are still needed — about nine for the recent volumes 

 and about 37 for the earlier ones — ■ as shown by the following list. In 

 order to facilitate the search for the desired data each author's name is 

 followed by the name of the State from which the note was written or that 

 of the author's last known address and a reference to the volume and page 

 of 'The Auk' in which the article appeared.
