NORTH AMERICAN FAUNAS. 



This series of publications comprises the more technical papers, 

 such as monographs of certain groups of mammals and descriptions 

 of new species, in addition to accounts of the scientific results of 

 explorations of certain States or other districts. The annotated 

 lists of birds, which are a prominent feature of the latter class of 

 faunas, often contain notes on bird food. These notes are usually 

 definite records of stomach examinations or of observations in the 

 field. They are indexed in detail ; hence it is not necessary for users 

 of the index to consult the pages of the faunas themselves, unless 

 they desire to learn the combinations of items in individual stomachs, 

 the quantity of food taken, or details of the feeding habits.
