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.,

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.
