HISTORY OF OREGON ORNITHOLOGY [57] 



of Crater Lake and the region between Crater Lake and Fort Klamath. 

 In the Cascade region between Crater Lake and Fort Klamath, collections 

 were made at the following localities: Williamson River, near Fort 

 Klamath; Anna Creek Canyon; Pole Bridge Creek; Crater Lake; Diamond 

 Lake; Western Sink Creek, between Diamond Lake and Klamath Marsh; 

 and Prospect in the Rogue River Valley. Both the birds and the mammals 

 collected are now in the Biological Survey collection of the United States 

 National Museum. 



The Bureau's biological survey of Oregon was furthered by later chiefs, 

 particularly Henry Wetherbee Henshaw (who had collected earlier in the 

 State) and Dr. Edward William Nelson. As a result, representative col- 

 lections of birds and other forms of wildlife from virtually every part of 

 the State have been assembled. Throughout these surveys local coopera- 

 tion was extended by the University of Oregon at Eugene, the Willamette 

 University at Salem, the Oregon State College at Corvallis, Reed College 

 at Portland, and the State Fish and Game Department. In addition, the 

 work was furthered by close and cordial cooperation of the Forest Service, 

 the National Park Service, and the Geological Survey. 



Among other field naturalists of the Survey who have made important 

 natural history observations and collections of birds and mammals at 

 various times and localities in Oregon are the following: Dr. Theodore 

 Sherman Palmer, in 1889; Clark P. Streator, from 1890 to 1896; J. E. 

 McLellan, in 1894; Vernon Bailey, in 1895 and in many subsequent years; 

 Arthur Holmes Howell, in 1895; Edward Alexander Preble, in 1896 and 

 1915; Dr. Albert Kenrick Fisher and J. Alden Loring, in 1897; Ned 

 Hollister, in 1904; D. D. Streeter, Jr., in 1909; Luther J. Goldman and 

 Harry Telford, in 1914; Professor Morton Eaton Peck, beginning in 1915; 

 and Robert H. Becker and Harry H. Sheldon, beginning in 1916. Other 

 Survey students of Oregon bird life have been Dr. Walter Kenrick Fisher, 

 Edwin Richard Kalmbach, Olaus Johan Murie, Professor Robert T. 

 Young, George G. Cantwell, Alex Walker, and the present writers, 

 Gabrielson and Jewett. Although in many instances the work of these 

 men was largely in the then almost virgin mammalian field, many of them 

 paid considerable attention to birds. The notes and specimens collected, 

 as well as the other available information previously referred to, have 

 been freely used in preparing this report on the birds of the State, with 

 a view to making it as nearly complete as is possible at this time. 



Although this is by no means the complete list of Survey workers in 

 Oregon, it includes the most important field efforts of the Survey. The 

 localities covered by some of the investigations are presented briefly as 

 follows: 



Palmer, in 1889, made collections in western Oregon, including the 

 Grants Pass section in the southwest and Astoria and other parts of 

 Clatsop County in the northwest.
