Art. XTII.— Second Instalment of American Orni- 

 thological Bibliog^raphy. 



By Dr. Elliott Coues, IT. S. A. 



Part First of the "Birds of the Colorado Yalley ", etc., contains a 

 Bibliographical Appendix (pp. 567-784, or [1]-[218] ), which consists of 

 a "List of Faunal Publications relating to IsTorth American Orni- 

 thology ", being the first instalment of a Universal Bibliography of 

 Ornithology upon which the author of that work is still engaged. 



The present article may be considered to continue the subject, as it 

 gives the titles of " Paunal Publications " relating to the Ornithology of 

 the rest of America. 



The former piece of work has been received with great favor by 

 ornithologists, whose kind expressions of interest assure him that his 

 bibliographical material is welcome. 



This further instalment of the work is constructed upon the same 

 principles as the other, and with the same great pains to secure good 

 results. Though of course much less extensive, containing only about 

 700 titles, it is scarcely less complete, and no less accurate, than the 

 North American portion. The compiler takes this occasion to renew 

 the request that those who are interested in the inatter will point out 

 defects which may be detected in any portion of the work now printed-. 



To those who may not be informed of the general plan of the whole 

 Bibliography, he may explain that it is modelled after the " Zoological 

 Eecord", and that the titles given in this second instalment are only 

 those which an editor of the " Eecord " would have brought under the 

 head of "Neotropical Eegion" — all general and miscellaneous works, 

 and all those upon particular species, genera, or families of birds, bemg 

 excluded.
