FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR, DIVISION 

 OF ORNITHOLOGY. 



Publications of the Year. 



The great interest in birds manifested by the people of this 

 and other Commonwealths continues to increase. This ac- 

 cession of interest in the living birds, their utility and their 

 protection is exhibited in numberless insistent inquiries in 

 respect to these subjects and in the great demand for literature 

 regarding them. Current literature on birds, issued by this 

 office, is eagerly sought, and the demand increases for reports, 

 circulars and leaflets, some of which have been out of print 

 for years. To meet this want certain publications must be 

 issued and reissued. Following is a list of the prints and re- 

 prints of the year: —
