The Burns Bibliography 



With this month's issue, as a supplement to and 

 a part of The Oologist we present to each of our sub- 

 scribers "A Bibliography of Scarce or Out of Print 

 North American Amateur and Trade Publications 

 devoted more or less to Ornithology," by Frank L. 

 Burns. 



The Editor, as well as each and every recipient 

 of a copy of this compilation are under a deep obli- 

 gation to Mr. Burns. Nobody who has not been con- 

 nected with the preparation of this Bibliography has 

 any conception of the amount of work and time that 

 it has taken. It has been in progress of preparation 

 for more than two years, and Mr. Burns, with his 

 usual thoroughness has covered the subject as it 

 never has been covered before. 



This Bibliography will be the standard check list 

 of this character of publications for all time to come. 

 The ornithologist and oologist as well as the collector 

 of this class of publications and all others interested 

 in kindred publications, owe Mr. Burns a deep sense 

 of gratitude. And it is with pleasure that we place 

 before our readers the result of his labor.
