Fauna of New England. 



The Library and Publishing Committee will issue, as volume 

 seven of the Occasional Papers, a Catalogue of the animals of 

 New England. 



Parts will be published at irregular intervals, and though the 

 details of the several lists will vary somewhat in the different 

 groups, each list will include: 1st, the accepted name (scientific 

 and vernacular); 2d, reference to the original description, and 

 to an authentic description and illustration except in case of 

 groups for which recent check-lists have been issued; and 3d, 

 habitat and occurrence. 



The Committee considers these lists a necessary preliminary to 

 a series of comprehensive, illustrated monographs, the publication 

 of which the Society has already begun. The Committee also 

 believes that these lists will aid in the accumulation of valuable 

 material for the New England collection. A price list of the parts 

 already published will be found on the back cover page. 



Toward the accomplishment of its aims the Committee invites 

 the cooperation of all interested in the Fauna of New England. 



Communications concerning specimens should be addressed to 

 the Curator of the Society (Chas. W. Johnson), notes and records 

 of occurrence to the Editor of the " Fauna of New England. "
