BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



This Bibliography does not include hundreds of minor reviews, particu- 

 larly of ornithological papers published in the 'Bulletin' of the Nuttall 

 Ornithological Club and ' The Auk,' 1 nor many of the unsigned editorial 

 paragraphs in the 'Notes and News' department of the same journals, all 

 of which, unless signed, are by the editor. It does, however, include the 

 unsigned biographical notices, which, unless otherwise indicated, are by 

 the editor. In the case of reviews, those omitted are usually brief an- 

 nouncements of technical papers, noting little beyond the fact of their 

 publication and general import, or works or papers of a more or less 

 popular character, hardly entitled to consideration as serious contributions 

 to science. 



The titles are arranged in nine sections: (1) Mammals, about 270 

 titles; (2) Birds, about 965 titles; (3) Reptiles, 5 titles; (4) Zoogeography, 

 9 titles; (5) Evolution, 22 titles; (6) Nomenclature, 27 titles; (7) Biography, 

 118 titles; (8) Miscellaneous, a few titles each on botanical, geological, and 

 other subjects; (9) Editorial Work. 



In the case of papers of a mixed character, like that on ' Mammals and 

 Winter Birds of East Florida,' where four special subjects are formally 

 treated under the same general title, or in the case of faunal papers which 

 include mammals and birds, and in one case also reptiles and plants, titles 

 are repeated under each section to which they in part formally relate; 

 beyond these few special cases titles are not repeated under the different 

 sectional headings, although subjects additional to that indicated by the 

 title may be incidentally discussed, as in some reviews and faunal papers. 



1 Volumes I-XXVIII. My editorial connection with 'The Auk' closed with the issue for 

 January, 1912, Volume XXXIX. 



The general indexes to these two journals contain about 1400 entries under my name, of which 

 about 1250 are indicated as reviews. Of this number less than 700 are included in this bibliography.
