APPENDIX V 



BIBLIOGRAPHY 



Besides the published writings of Audubon, I have included 

 in this Bibliography such references to his life and times as 

 occur in the text or which possess some degree of merit ; all 

 other important literary and historical authorities are cited in 

 footnotes to the text. The titles appear in a single numerical 

 series, but the arrangement under each head is strictly chrono- 

 logical. All references to this list in the text are indicated 

 usually by title, with the name of the author, and always by 

 Arabic numerals, in correspondence with the series which fol- 

 lows. If some chaff has been admitted to this garner, no corn, 

 I hope, has been thrown into the fire.
