152 BIRDS OF MAINE. 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



I have given below a partial list of various books and publica- 

 tions which contain articles relating more or less directly to the 

 Ornithology or Oology of the state. The titles of many may not be 

 exactly or correctly quoted here, owing to the fact that I have 

 seen but a very small portion of the publications cited. I doubt 

 not but that most of them will be recognized under the titles given 

 them. The list does not claim to be either complete or exact, but 

 is given to serve as a slight aid to persons who wish to go more com- 

 pletely into the literature relating to our birds. Such publications 

 as Coues's Key, Ridgway's Manual, and others relating to the birds 

 of North America at large are cited because of their general bear- 

 ing on the subject, and for this same reason a few of the numerous 

 periodicals are also given. Notes regarding many of the publica- 

 tions cited have been taken from Steam's New England Bird Life.
