North American Mammals," by Theodore Gill and Elliott 

 Coues, in " Monographs of North American Rodentia," by 

 Elliott Coues and Joel Asaph Allen (1877). 



The "Catalogue of the Described Diptera of North Amer- 

 ica," by C. R. Osten-Sacken (1878), is accompanied by many 

 bibliographical notes. 



In i863-'64 W. G. Binney compiled a "Bibliography of 

 North American Conchology Previous to the Year 1860," 

 published in two parts ; Part I contains the writings of Amer- 

 ican conchologists generally, and Part II the works of foreign 

 authors relating to the shells or mollusks of North America. 

 Each part is accompanied by an index of authors. Together 

 these comprehensive works fill over nine hundred pages of 

 the "Miscellaneous Collections" (i863-'64). 



A large number of bibliographies accompany, incidentally, 

 papers published in the "Proceedings of the United States 

 National Museum," in the "Annual Reports of the Bureau of 

 Ethnology," and in other series issued by the Smithsonian 

 Institution, of which space available prevents enumeration.
