delphia, pp. 213-224, 1851). He also published: Note on Carpodacus frontalis 
(Say) with Description of a New Species of the Same Genus from Santa Fe, New 
Mexico (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, VI, p. 61, 1852). 
1851. Samuel Washington Woodhouse (1821-1904). 
When Captain Sitgreaves explored the Zuni and Colorado Rivers, Dr. Wood- 
house accompanied his party as physician and naturalist. On his way to join the 
party Woodhouse left San Antonio, Texas, on May 7, 1851; reached the mouth of 
Devil River, May 26; crossed Texas to El Paso; and followed up the Rio Grande to 
Santa Fe. The expedition started August 15, from Santa Fe, on the route down the 
Rio Grande to the mouth of the Puerco, following up this stream to Laguna, thence 
to Acoma, Inscription Rock, and Zuni, which was reached September 1. Remaining 
there until September 24, the Sitgreaves party traveled down the Zuni and on 
September 25 crossed into Arizona. As this is the only trip Woodhouse made in 
New Mexico, all his New Mexico notes must refer to it. Many of the birds collected 
have been deposited in the museum of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila¬ 
delphia. A short report on the collection was made by Woodhouse: Report on the 
Natural History of the Country Passed Over by the Exploring Expedition Under the 
Command of Brev. Capt. L. Sitgreaves, United States Topographical Engineer, 
during the Year 1851; in Sitgreaves' Exped. Zuni and Colo. Rivers, pp. 31-105, 1853. 
1852-1858. Thomas Charlton Henry (died January 5, 1877). 
For several years, at least from 1852 to 1858, Dr. T. C. Henry lived in New 
Mexico, and although a surgeon in the regular army, he found time to make large 
collections of birds. He was stationed at Fort Fillmore, August-December, 1852; 
Fort Webster, December, 1852, to early in 1854; and during the remaining four years 
made Fort Thorn Ills headquarters. All his specimens were sent to Washington, 
D. C., and are quite fully reported on by Baird in Volume IX of the Pacific Railroad 
Reports. In addition Dr. Henry himself published: Notes Derived from Observa¬ 
tions Made on the Birds of New Mexico during the Years 1853 and 1854 (Proc. 
Acad. Nat. Sci., Philadelphia, pp. 306-317, 1855), and Catalogue of the Birds of 
New Mexico as Compiled from Notes and Observations Made while in that Territory, 
during a Residence of Six Years (Ibid., pp. 104-109, 1859). 
1853. Caleb Burwell Rowan Kennedy (1830-1861). 
Dr. Kennedy was attached as physician and naturalist to Lieutenant Whipple’s 
expedition, which surveyed the route for a Pacific Railroad, near the thirty-fifth 
parallel. Kennedy did not join the party until they reached Albuquerque, but the 
naturalist, II. B. Mollhausen, accompanied Lieutenant Whipple, who left Fort Smith, 
Arkansas, July 14, 1853, and followed the general direction of the Canadian River 
across Oklahoma and Texas. The party entered New Mexico, September 20, on 
the south side of the Canadian River, which they left at this point, passing to the 
Pecos and crossing it September 27, at Anton Chico. The route thence led to Galis- 
teo, October 1; to the Rio Grande at Pena Blanca, October 3; and down the Rio 
Grande to Albuquerque October 5. 
Dr. Kennedy had accompanied Lieutenant Ives’ party, which had come up the 
Rio Grande from El Paso and reached Albuquerque, October 6. All were at Albu¬ 
querque and vicinity to November 8. On that date Lieutenant Ives, with Ken¬ 
nedy in his party, went south to Isleta and thence westward, following exactly the 
present route of the Santa Fe Railroad. Both parties were together at Laguna, 
November 13; Inscription Rock, November 18; Zuni, November 20. Leaving Zuni 
November 28, they followed down the Zuni River and entered Arizona at Camp No. 
72, November 28, 1853. Notes on the expedition’s collection of data were published
