The Author of “Birds of the Cape Region of Lower California.” 
M r. Brewster’s recent noteworthy work on the “Birds of the Cape Region 
of Lower California’’ appeared just thirty years after his first paper, 
“Birds New to Massachusetts,’’ in the American Natitralisi for 1872. 
Since then a long and enviable list of papers has marked his active ornithological 
career — a list far too extensive to enumerate in this connection. Tho his system-

faunal and life-history work. As a portrayer of bird life and bird ways he is 
without a peer. 
Altho it is in New England that he now loves to ‘ornithologize,’ yet thru 
numerous field collectors his interests have reached to the farthest shores of the 
continent, and his many articles on western birds entitle him to a place among 
oiir most active workers.
