A third analysis deals with the breeding species and subspecies (232 in 

 number) of the State in reference to their centers of distribution, as to 

 whether they are northward or southward, eastward or westward; from 

 which it appears that "Nebraska lies, roughly speaking, at the center of 

 distribution of 38 forms." Lists are also given of those breeding mainly 

 to the northward, southward, eastward, or westward of the State. 



The faunal areas of Nebraska, considered from the avian standpoint, 

 are considered at length, five 'regions' being recognized, as follows: (1) 

 the Missouri [River] Region; (2) the Prairie Region; (3) the Sandhill 

 Region; (4) the Plains Region; (5) the Pine Ridge Region. These are 

 each geographically defined and their leading characteristics stated, 

 together with lists of the species of birds characteristic of each, followed 

 by a tabular resume and pertinent comment. A colored map illustrates 

 these faunal regions, and various types of environment are shown in five 

 half-tone plates. 



Altogether, Professor Wolcott's 'Analysis' of the Nebraska bird fauna 

 is well done, and a piece of work well worth doing. — J. A. A.
