BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



The following Bibliography of Kot7,ebuc Sound Ornithology may not be com- 

 plete, for it contains only the appurtenant literature which I have personally ex- 

 amined; however, this is also all that I know of. Of this, the lists of Nelson, Town- 

 send and Mcl^enegan are the most important, being based on most extended obser- 

 vations, though in each case confined to a part of the summer only. Many records 

 made by Nelson were founded on skins and information received from intelligent 

 natives. The notes of these writers are for the most part very brief.
