94 Report of the President 



generosity is further exemplified by the gift to the Library of 

 a very handsome two-volume copy of the first edition in Latin 

 of the "Peregrinationes in Indiam Occidentalem" by Theo- 

 dorus de Bry (1590-1602), and the following three classical 

 works by John Gould in five folio volumes each : "The Birds 

 of Europe" (1832-1837); "The Birds of Great Britain" 

 (1862-1873), and "The Birds of New Guinea and the Adjacent 

 Papuan Islands" (1875-1888). President Henry Fairfield 

 Osborn has also subscribed in the name of this Library for a 

 de luxe edition of Dawson's "Birds of California," a work 

 promising to be of the utmost scientific value as a contribution 

 to the ornithology of the Pacific Coast.
