 abstract of the orig. account, accompanied by an electro, and actually antedates the regular 

 publication of the article by six days." — - Coues, I. c, p. 738. (Cf. supra, No. 94.)

' ' A dignified and well-considered defence of the Club from the attacks made in the article 

 entitled 'History Repeating Itself,' and elsewhere. 'Neither the ideas, the similes, nor the 

 phraseology of the article are new, having done service repeatedly in other Boston papers 

 within a few weeks in a similar connection. Therefore the inference is natural, that they 

 have emanated, either directly or indirectly, from a single source. The article in question 

 is simply a presentation, in connected form, of the various anonymous squibs that have 

 appeared repeatedly in other papers. . . . Unfortunate, indeed, is it if this purely practical 

 and scientific question cannot be discussed on its merits, and that the defenders of the [Eng- 

 lish] sparrows must confess their weakness by a persistent resort to such unsafe weapons as 

 misrepresentation and ridicule.'" — Coues, 'On Present Status of Passer domesticus,' etc., 

 in Bull. U. S. Geol. andGeogr. Surv. Terr., V, 1879, p. 185). 



119. The Nuttall Ornithological Club. <Evening Transcript, Mar. 21, 1878. 



"A defence of the Club, which has been referred to contemptuously as a body of "Cam- 

 bridge juveniles," "precocious boys," "over-modest youths," etc., including a statement 

 of its organization and operations, and the real character of its membership. T. M. Brewer 

 is mentioned as a member, and a contributor to the Bulletin of the Club." — Coues, I. c.
