BIRDS OF THE KOTZEBUE SOUND REGION. 



Several of our company were especially kind to the "bird-fiend," and assisted 

 him whenever they could. I have to thank in particular Dr. \Vm. V. Coffin, Mr. 

 C. H. Miller and Mr. Thad. Rivers for assistance in collecting and preparing 

 specimens. 



In working up the status of various birds since my return home, I have had to 

 call on several persons for help. I must acknowledge indebtedness for the loan of 

 specimens or for information to Mr. Robert Ridgway of the National Museum, to 

 Mr. Outran! Bangs, and to Mr. L. M. Loomis of the California Academy of 

 Sciences.
