THESE stories are especially notable for the revelation of the authors' absorb- 

 ing interest in the study of birds. All the authors quoted were original inves- 

 tigators, exploring the trackless wilderness in their search for knowledge ; and 

 their accounts of our birds are, on the whole, the most interesting that have ever been 

 published. In the books of this series the language and punctuation of the various 

 authors have been modified to meet the needs of the audience and the purposes of the 

 book, while notes on " Geographical Distribution" have been added by the editor. 

 Special attention is called to the bird plates reproduced in colors. The specimens 

 were collected and mounted by Dr. Ned Dearborn, of the Field Columbian Museum, 

 Chicago, III., and were photographed under his supervision.
