The proceedings of a symposium held at Raleigh, North Carolina, 

 in October 1981, this book presents the keynote address of F. Eugene 

 Hester, Deputy Director of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a bibli- 

 ography of publications on the Seaside Sparrow, and 16 major papers 

 on the species. Authors include Arthur W. Cooper, Oliver L. Austin, Jr., 

 Herbert W. Kale II, William Post, Harold W. Werner, Glen E. Wool- 

 fenden, Mary Victoria McDonald, Jon S. Greenlaw, Michael F. Delany, 

 James A. Mosher, Thomas L. Merriam, James A. Kushlan, Oron L. 

 Bass, Jr., Dale L. Taylor, Thomas A. Webber, and George F. Gee. A 

 full-color frontispiece by John Henry Dick illustrates the nine races of 

 the Seaside Sparrow, and a recording prepared by J. W. Hardy supple- 

 ments two papers on vocalizations. 



"The Seaside Sparrow, with its extensive but exceedingly narrow 

 breeding range in the coastal salt marshes, is a fascinating species. All 

 the authors emphasize that the salt marsh habitat is at peril. . . . The 

 collection is well worth reading." — George A. Hall, Wilson Bulletin.
