This list of references has been prepared to direct the attention of 

 those interested in waterfowl and gallinaceous game birds (Anseri formes 

 and Galliformes) to the more important works thereon. Particular effort 

 has been made to include references pertaining to propagation and manage- 

 ment because of the popular interest in these fields. In general, 

 references to books and pamphlets more than a decade old have not been 

 included unless they are of special value. A cumber of the publications 

 listed are known to be out of print, but some of these may be consulted 

 in, or borrowed through, public libraries. References to magazine articles 

 are not included, although the names of serials and periodicals of value 

 are listed on pages 25 to 27. Much of the propagation of game birds is 

 carried on to increase the numbers of birds for hunting; therefore, a few 

 selected references on hunting and shooting have also been included. 



References in the first three sections (pages 2 to 23), which are 

 arranged alphabetically by authors and chronologically thereunder, are 

 numbered consecutively to facilitate indexing. Serial and periodical 

 publications are not numbered because they are not indexed.
