A NORTH AMERICAN FAUNAL INDEX TO THE 
“ORNITHOLOGIST” AND “OOLOGIST” 
Pa rt /. 
In March, 1875, ^ ie publication of an oological paper, called the 
“Oologist,” was started by S. L. Willard & Co. of Utica, N. Y. 
It continued for five volumes under this title, when it was changed 
to the “Ornithologist and Oologist” with the issue of Volume VI 
in 1881. In 1893 with the issue of No. 10 of Volume XVIII it 
ceased to be published. The paper received during its latter 
career the support of many of the most prominent ornithologists, 
and had published in its pages much valuable matter which is of 
real importance to ornithologists, especially to those interested in 
faunal investigation. The first five volumes I have found it 
impossible to examine a complete file of, and the others are not 
always accessible. 
The present index of the “Ornithologist and Oologist” will it is 
hoped be of service to working ornithologists. An index of the 
“Oblogist” will be undertaken when a complete file is available 
to the author. In its compilation no doubt errors have crept in, 
as the work has not had the advantage of cross-checking.
