 < Proc. Phila. Acad. Nat. Sci., 1875, pp. 338-358. 



An extended review of Bartram as an ornithologist, claiming that this author's 

 names are available ; 215 spp., 52 left undetermined, 163 identified. Of the iden- 

 tified binomial names, 20 are considered tenable, 5 of them being already in 

 general employ. The article, likethose of Cassin's, whose title is appropriated, 

 was received with disfavor, mainly, it would seem, on account of the trouble it 

 would make in the way of nomenclatural changes, should the position assumed 

 be considered tenable. Cf. Zool. Bee. for 1875, p. 30 ; Am. Nat., x, 1876, pp. 21, 98, 176.

"The title of this work does not give the reader a full understanding of its 

 scope and contents, as it treats of Scenes and Flowers as well as of Birds and 

 Seasons. . . . My essays are not biographies of the Birds. I treat of them

 author writes like a close observer, as well as a lover of birds who has discov- 

 ered that they may subserve other than ornithological purposes ; though the 

 fullest appreciation of the poetry of their lives is not incompatible with the 

 power to discriminate between the genera Antrostomus and Ohordiles ; nor does
