 FOREWORD. 
 
 The life and writings of Joel Asaph Allen have exerted so great an in- 
 fluence on the progress of ornithology and mammalogy in America that all 
 who have the interests of these branches of science at heart, both in this 
 country and abroad, will welcome this biographical and bibliographical 
 volume. It is issued as an expression of the appreciation of Doctor Allen's 
 life work by the Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History 
 and his devoted colleagues on its Scientific Staff. The biographical sketch 
 was especially desired in connection with the Bibliography because it sets 
 forth so clearly the broad groundwork of travel, of field observation and 
 of field record which has established a model for all modern American work 
 on the birds and the mammals. At this time we are sure that naturalists 
 in all parts of the world will unite with Dr. Allen's colleagues in felicitating 
 him on the great work which he has accomplished and in wishing him many 
 more years of strength and activity.

 PREFACE. 
 
 The present publication was prepared by request of HENRY FAIRFIELD 
 OSBORN, President of the American Museum of Natural History, to whom 
 the author is indebted for courtesies extending over many years of the most 
 pleasant official relationship. 
 
 It is a pleasure, realized by few, to be able to supervise the publication 
 of a list of one's own technical papers, extending over more than half a 
 century, and the opportunity for it was duly welcomed. 
 
 The biographical sketch, preceding the list of papers, however, was 
 written with great reluctance and with many misgivings, as being, in the 
 author's opinion, inopportune in the present connection. If such notes 
 are worthy of record, it seems more fitting that their publication should be 
 posthumous. Their present appearance is due to solicitations difficult to 
 disregard.

 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 EARLY SURROUNDINGS AND TRAINING (1838-1858). 
 
 I was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, July 19, 1838, the eldest son 
 of Joel and Harriet (Trumbull) Allen, both of early New England stock. 
 My father was a descendant, in the seventh generation, of Samuel Allen, 
 who settled in Windsor, Connecticut, in 1640. The date of his birth is not 
 positively known, nor has a definite record been found of when he emigrated 
 from England. He is supposed to have come over with the Dorchester 
 Company in 1630, in the ship ' Mary and John.' l The Windsor land 
 records show that he received a grant of land.from the plantation at Windsor, 
 Connecticut, January 27, 1640. He died at Windsor in 1648. The present 
 public library building at Windsor marks the site of the Samuel Allen 
 homestead. Joel Allen, my father, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, 
 December 11, 1810. 
 
 On the maternal side the descent is from John Trumbull, great-grand- 
 father of Governor Jonathan Trumbull (said to have been the original 
 "Brother Jonathan" and familiar friend of Washington), who was bora in 
 Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, and settled in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 
 1639. 
 
 My immediate progenitors were farmers. My father, however, learned 
 the carpenter's trade and was a house-builder in his earlier days, but later 
 bought a farm on which he spent the greater part of his life. He was 
 respected by his neighbors as a man of excellent judgment and sterling 
 integrity, whose advice was often solicited in the affairs of the neighborhood. 
 In politics he was a Free-soiler, and lajer a Republican. He died January 
 9, 1886, at the age of 75 years and one month, survived by my mother, 
 three sons and a daughter. My mother died June 2, 1892, at the age of 
 80 years and six months. My mother taught school for several years 
 before her marriage. She was a true helpmeet, practical, conscientious, 
 and in every way lovable and inspiring. My father had little appreciation 
 for my natural history tastes, but was kind and generous, offering to share 
 his farm with me if I would remain with him on the old homestead. My 
 mother, on the other hand, was much in sympathy with my yearnings, and 
 often used her influence in mv favor.

 2 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 Our family numbered five children, one girl and four boys, one of whom 
 (a boy, Edwin) died in infancy. My sister, Harriet Emma, taught school 
 for a number of years and later married a farmer. She died suddenly of 
 pneumonia, contracted in attending a sick brother, April 2, 1900, in her 
 54th year. My two brothers, Edgar, a moulder by trade, and Irving, a 
 farmer, are still (August, 1916), living, the latter at the old homestead in 
 Springfield. 
 
 My early training was rigidly puritanical. My parents were both 
 members of the Congregational church, and strict in their religious ob- 
 servances. Family prayers invariably followed breakfast, and also closed 
 the routine of Sunday, all the religious requirements of the day being strictly 
 observed. 
 
 My earliest recollections are naturally associated with the surroundings 
 of my birthplace on the old farm, situated on a hill about a mile and a half 
 east of the then thickly settled part of Springfield, known as the Watershops, 
 where the United States Government has for more than a century carried 
 on the manufacture of fire-arms. The family home was a large two-story 
 square-roofed house, at that time innocent of paint and unshaded by trees. 
 One of the pleasantest remembrances of my younger days is of helping my 
 father plant the row of maples and elms which long since became the promi- 
 nent feature of the road frontage of the farm, and in recovering and painting 
 the house. We were not crowded by neighbors, the nearest residence on 
 the west being half a mile away, and there was only one house within half 
 a mile to the eastward. Subsequently others much nearer were built in 
 both directions, the lonely country road has become Allen Street, and a 
 trolley car line has been projected to connect the rapidly extending suburbs 
 with the business portion of the city. 
 
 Dandelions and daisies and other wild flowers were early attractions, 
 the profuse gathering of which at an early age led my elders, and particularly 
 my mother, to predict that when the toddling youngster grew up he would 
 favor the profession of medicine, and I was often facetiously dubbed " Dr. 
 Sykes," in allusion to our then family physician, an herb-doctor of local 
 reputation. In due time I was assigned a share in the household chores, and 
 trained to perform the allotted tasks with promptness and care. 
 
 The nearest schoolhouse was a mile distant, of the conventional red 
 type, situated as usual on the crest of a hill. In summer the school was 
 taught by a schoolmistress, while the winter session was conducted by a 
 schoolmaster selected for his ability to keep the larger boys in order as well 
 as to teach the "three Us." Some years later a schoolmistress was em- 
 ployed for both the winter and summer sessions. In these days the services 
 of boys of even six and seven years were considered too valuable for farm-

 work to be sacrificed in summer for school purposes, so that to them only 
 the winter session of the school year was available. 
 
 Despite hard work and long hours, the farm proved attractive and 
 satisfying for a time, but at about the age of fourteen the love inspired by 
 this free contact with natural surroundings developed a desire to know more 
 of the animal and plant life, the soil and the rocks, and the ever changing 
 phenomena of sky and air, than could be gained merely by association. 
 At the age of thirteen, after much pleading on my part, to my great 
 delight, my father presented me with a gun. At first it merely afforded 
 the pleasure all boys experience in being able to shoot something, either as 
 game or on the pretext that certain birds and animals are destructive to 
 crops, and that it is desirable to reduce their numbers. But very soon the 
 destructive instinct gave place to a desire to possess specimens for study, 
 particularly of birds, which I found were so numerous in kinds that com- 
 paratively few of them were known by name to any of the people, either 
 of town or country, whom I met. Warblers, vireos, kinglets, sparrows 
 and many other kinds of birds were shot, measured, weighed, described 
 and given provisional names in my notebooks, so that I might again recog- 
 nize them when met with, long before I knew that books had been written 
 about them and that they all had names, Latin as well as English. I even 
 made attempts to dra\v and color them, but entire lack of instruction in the 
 work led only to failure and disappointment. A little later, however, I 
 made the acquaintance of Bradford Horsford, a teacher of drawing, who 
 was also an amateur ornithologist and taxidermist, with a good knowledge 
 of all the commoner birds. From him I borrowed a copy of the Brewer 
 edition of Wilson's 'American Ornithology/ which, to my unspeakable 
 delight, he later sold to me; Nuttall's and Audubon's works on North 
 American birds were also found in the public library of Springfield, and a 
 new world was opened to me! 
 
 A little later I made the acquaintance of a man of broader education 
 than I had ever before met, who taught our district school for several 
 winter terms, and became a resident of the neighborhood. As he was a 
 nature-lover himself he could appreciate my aspirations, and most gener- 
 ously presented me with a copy of Blythe's ' Cuvier's Animal Kingdom/ 
 a work of which I previously had never heard. Thus equipped, and with 
 the resources of a public library now at my command, acquaintance with 
 not only the local birds, mammals, reptiles and fishes, but with many of the 
 insects, became a delightful experience. Interest in farm work as an 
 occupation as rapidly declined, but a filial desire to share fully in the family 
 burdens led to no neglect of duties but often to excessive effort in manual 
 labor to demonstrate an interest otherwise unfelt.
 
 4 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 In winter I usually attended the district school, but was so far in advance 
 of all the other pupils that I was in a class by myself in most of the branches 
 taught, and received little aid from the teacher. A large part of my last 
 term in the district school was devoted to solving the "miscellaneous 
 examples" at the end of Greenleaf's higher arithmetic, then commonly in 
 use in the schools of the region, and in such other school arithmetics as I 
 could borrow from friends who had long since finished their school days. 
 One winter was spent entirely at home (I was then probably in my fifteenth 
 year), in the study of such natural history books as I could command, and 
 of a borrowed copy of Webster's unabridged dictionary, from which I 
 copied a large part of the natural history definitions. 
 
 AT WlLBRAHAM ACADEMY AND HOME STUDIES (1858^1862). 
 
 Then followed several winter terms at the Wilbraham Academy where 
 I selected my own studies, which included at first physiology, natural 
 philosophy, astronomy, and chemistry, in addition to English grammar and 
 arithmetic; later rhetoric, algebra, Latin, French and German were sub- 
 stituted for the natural sciences. Humboldt's 'Cosmos' (in English), and 
 works of similar character constituted my favorite reading outside of my 
 school w r ork. 
 
 My summers were still spent on the farm, where, equipped with ele- 
 mentary works on meteorology, geology and mineralogy, I had ample food 
 for thought. Lyell's 'Principles of Geology,' Dana's 'Mineralogy,' the 
 ' Proceedings ' of the American Association for the Advancement of Science 
 (the full series as far as then published), and various State geological and 
 natural history reports were studied with avidity. 
 
 During this period my ever present ambition was to write a history of 
 the "Birds of New England" that should be as complete and exhaustive 
 as possible, and based on original observation, including the necessary 
 explorations in northern New England where so many of the migratory 
 species were supposed to pass the breeding season. Next to this I looked 
 upon editorial work as an enviable goal. Yet at the time these aspirations 
 began to develop composition was a slow r and difficult task, and to acquire 
 facility in WTiting I forced myself to keep a daily journal, in which I re- 
 corded not only the current w r eather conditions in detail but every incident 
 of my daily experiences that seemed to offer a subject for comment. 
 
 In Professor Oliver Marcy, teacher of the natural sciences at Wilbraham 
 Academy and later professor and finally dean of the faculty at Northwest- 
 ern University, I found a most sympathetic friend and counsellor. It was
 
 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 5 
 
 he who first secured my introduction to the public through the ' New Eng- 
 land Farmer.' It was my custom at the Academy to offer, when composi- 
 tion day came round, some of the results of my natural history observations 
 as a composition. One of my first offerings of this sort was a summary of 
 my weather journal for the previous seasonal period of three months. 
 When the time came for the return of compositions mine was withheld 
 with the request from Professor Marcy, who had charge of my division, 
 that he might retain it for a short time. A few days later he handed me a 
 copy of the 'New England Farmer' containing my article, printed in full 
 and without change, with a very complimentary introduction by the editor. 
 It was to me an exceedingly great surprise, and sufficient explanation of 
 why my composition had not been returned to me at the usual time. I 
 was at this time about eighteen or nineteen years of age. 
 
 With this cordial welcome from the editor of the 'Farmer,' I mustered 
 courage to offer, soon after, other contributions of a similar character, my 
 weather reports thereafter appearing at regular intervals till circumstances 
 prevented the continuation of the observations. These articles were 
 followed (in 1859) by others on quite different subjects, including a series 
 of twenty-five on New England birds; also a paper on the moon's alleged 
 influence upon the weather, in reply to previous articles on the subject by 
 other contributors. My article was based on meteorological observations 
 kept at the United States Armory at Springfield, Mass., for a long period of 
 years, latterly by Mr. Joseph Weatherhead, who kindly placed them at my 
 disposal for study. It is needless to say that I found no evidence of lunar 
 influence on the character of the weather, and no basis for sundry other 
 assumptions regarding the moon's influence on mundane life, or for popular 
 beliefs respecting the proper time in the moon for weaning pigs, colts and 
 calves or planting crops. 
 
 During these years I spent much time studying botany, adding a col- 
 lection of dried plants to my other natural history gatherings, nearly all of 
 which I was able to identify without other aid than Gray's well-known 
 'Manual of the Botany of the Northern United States,' my copy of which 
 eventually became well annotated with my field notes. At this time I had 
 not the acquaintance of any one who had any knowledge of the scientific 
 names of plants, or who, so far as I knew, cared to know them. I still 
 recall the exquisite pleasure it gave me to discover the name of some wild 
 plant I had long admired in total ignorance of its affinities or name. 
 
 During the years 1859-1861, 1 collected and mounted (as attested by my 
 catalogue, still extant) some 300 birds, representing nearly 100 species, 
 and also such native mammals as I could find near my home, and I pre- 
 served in jars of alcohol specimens of all the reptiles, amphibians and fishes;

 such mollusks as were available were also gathered and several hundred 
 insects. Best of all, I knew the technical names of nearly all except the 
 insects, of which, however, I knew many. The local minerals and rocks 
 found place on the shelves of my little museum, for which a small room was 
 kindly provided by my parents, and which I equipped with shelves and a 
 flat table case for insects. In addition there were rows of bottles containing 
 the products of my boyish experiments with such cheap chemicals as I could 
 afford to purchase at the neighboring drug stores, each duly labeled with its 
 proper chemical formula. The whole was amateurish in the extreme, and 
 represented merely a superficial acquaintance with a wide range of subjects, 
 but enough to add immensely to the pleasure of living, giving, as it did, the 
 sense of being in touch with the plant and animal life and the geological 
 features of my immediate environment. My notebooks contained pages 
 of descriptions of unusual atmospheric phenomena, from the prismatic 
 tints of fleecy clouds floating past the midday sun, haloes, unusual storm 
 conditions, auroral displays, and the August and November shooting-star 
 periods, to the varied forms of the snow crystals of a winter storm things 
 for the most part unobserved by my friends and neighbors, and which 
 hence gave them no added joy to living. 
 
 It is needless to say that my interest in every day practical affairs was 
 limited to a conscientious and cheerful discharge of the obligations natural 
 to my position as a helper to my father in the routine of farm work. Every 
 spare moment of the day when in the house was spent in my room poring 
 over books or specimens or jotting down things seen out of doors in the 
 corn or hay field. These constant disappearances when off duty were 
 naturally an annoyance to my father, who could not appreciate my ab- 
 sorption in such unpractical affairs. To the oft-made inquiry of my Father, 
 "Where's Asaph?" was Mother's gentle response, "upstairs," and the 
 contemptuous paternal rejoinder: "Upstairs; he's always 'upstairs.'" 
 Although unappreciative of his son's "foolish notions," he was not harsh 
 or unkind, as an agreement, lasting for several seasons, granting one day 
 a week for the prosecution of my hobbies is ample evidence. For these 
 foibles my mother had always a degree of sympathy, which increased as 
 years passed to active influence in their behalf. 
 
 To demonstrate my hearty interest in forwarding the farm work, I 
 of i en as I afterwards found, exerted myself beyond my proper physical 
 endurance, which with the absorption in my natural history work told 
 heavily on my health. It was often necessary in the busy season for my 
 father to employ day laborers and it was always my ambition to "lead the 
 field," which I was always able to do except in the heavier work, even when 
 a young boy just entering the teens. My evening task, before retiring, was

 to write in my journal the notes of the day and to change the dryers in my 
 extemporized botanical press, consisting of several pieces of thick board, 
 cut the proper length, a lot of old newspapers, and a heavy, smoothly 
 waterworn stone for the top of the pile to afford the requisite pressure. 
 Many, many a time this bedtime task found me almost too exhausted by 
 the day's labor to accomplish. These long periods of overwork undoubtedly 
 laid the foundation for much of the semi-invalidism of many later years. 
 
 There was, of course, respite in seasons when farm work was not pressing, 
 when much spare time could be found for collecting trips and the prepara- 
 tion of specimens. My excursions were generally limited to the radius of a 
 few miles from the farm, adjoining which, in my early days, were a few 
 small patches of virgin forest. But the ax had already begun to thin their 
 ranks, and before my collecting days had fairly begun, these grand old 
 remnants of former forest conditions were swept away and the land devoted 
 to farm purposes or allowed to grow up in a shrubby second-growth. 
 
 My excursions extended to the famous new-red sandstone quarries in 
 East Longmeadow, my first visit to which is still vividly remembered. 
 Other trips were made to Mount Tom, with boon companions sportsmen 
 who had become amateur taxidermists and enthusiastic general collectors 
 of birds, beasts, fishes, reptiles and insects, for the Springfield Museum of 
 Natural History, under the auspices of the City Library Association. 1 
 One memorable trip of several weeks duration was made to visit relatives 
 in Windsor County, Vermont. The physical character of the country 
 was in strong contrast with that of my home surroundings, and the fauna 
 and the flora were perceptibly different. Most interesting of all the many 
 excursions in this new field was the ascent of Mount Ascutney, and many 
 samples of the rocks of the general region visited were taken home for my 
 cabinet. A second trip to this region, made in August of a later year, 
 included a visit to the gold washings at Springfield (Vermont), where I 
 spent a night in camp and gained much valued information respecting the 
 methods there employed in securing the precious gold dust and diminutive 
 nuggets that barely paid for the time and labor expended. 
 
 My several terms at Wilbraham Academy prior to the winter of 1861-62 
 had been a serious draft upon my father's limited resources, with interest 
 still to be met on farm mortgages and a considerable family to support, 
 and, eager as I was for such advantages, I could not consent to accept his

 this narrative; Solomon Stebbins, a paper hanger; and Charles Emery, a draughtsman at the U. S. 
 Armory at Springfield. Their leisure time was holidays and Sundays, which they intelligently and 
 enthusiastically devoted to natural history collecting, and their evenings to the study and preparation 
 of specimens for exhibition in the Springfield Museum.

 further aid. I had my little museum, so dear to me that it had seemed 
 impossible to part with it under any circumstances. In this emergency 
 it occurred to me to offer to sell the collection to Wilbraham Academy, and 
 use the proceeds for my school expenses. To my surprise as well as delight, 
 the offer of sale was accepted, and to this extent my way was clear. 
 
 SPECIAL STUDENT UNDER Louis AGASSIZ (1862-1871). 
 
 On again entering the Academy I found a congenial spirit, whose tastes 
 and aspirations were similar to my own, but under better guidance, as my 
 new friend l was a nephew of my loved teacher, Professor Marcy. He was 
 planning to enter the Lawrence Scientific School at Cambridge, to become 
 a pupil of the great Agassiz. Why should not I do the same? The balance 
 still due me for my collection, if paid to me in cash would enable me to 
 establish myself at Cambridge, on our proposed plan of hiring an inex- 
 pensive room and boarding ourselves. The necessary preliminaries having 
 been arranged, we arrived in Cambridge early in February, 1862. I well 
 remember plodding through the knee-deep snow of Divinity Avenue to 
 reach the Agassiz Museum, in exceedingly inclement weather, and our 
 cordial greeting by the great scientist. Plans for laboratory work were at 
 once arranged, and also for attending certain of the courses of lectures at 
 the Lawrence Scientific School that were to form a part of our curriculum. 
 Besides those of Agassiz himself we were to attend the course by Jeffries 
 Wyman on comparative anatomy, a course on physics by Joseph Lovering, 
 a course on chemistry by Josiah P. Cook, and the course on botany by Asa 
 Gray, all eminent specialists of world-wide renown. 
 
 I had naturally chosen as my specialty the study of birds, and was 
 not a little disappointed at having assigned to me the same task as that 
 set for Mr. Niles. We were both given collections of corals of several 
 genera and requested to find out their methods of growth and laws of 
 development. Not a hint was given us as to what details we were to 
 look for, and no books of reference were suggested. The first lesson, we 
 were told, was to learn to observe, to use our eyes. Equipped with hand 
 lenses, we proceeded to our task. After a few hours of application we were 
 asked "Well, what have you seen?" and the same query was daily repeated. 
 We reported what we thought we had discovered, and if we had seen aright 
 w- ucre encouraged with a few words of approval; if we were mistaken

 the reply was "You are wrong; you must look again; you must learn to 
 see." 
 
 "We were not left, however, without friendly words of intercourse about 
 other matters. The great master was engaged with his own work in the 
 same room, which was in the southeast corner of the first floor of the first 
 section of the Museum, of which this was at that time the only part con- 
 structed. Agassiz was then engaged in studying the great DeKonink and 
 other large collections of fossil mollusks, at that time recently received and 
 not fully unpacked. From time to time he gave expression to his delight 
 over some new discovery, and to the trays containing the specimens and 
 their labels were frequently added new labels of his own, on which the name 
 of a new genus or a new species was written, as the case might be. His- 
 workroom, or laboratory, was almost daily the resort of eminent scientists : 
 Jules Marcou was almost a daily visitor, when the conversation was always 
 in French; Jeffries Wyman was a frequent caller, as was also Benjamin 
 Pierce, the eminent mathematician; on the days when Agassiz gave his 
 lectures many distinguished notables from Boston were present, among 
 whom was frequently Oliver "Wendell Holmes. 
 
 Besides Agassiz and his French artist Bourkhart and ourselves, the 
 room was occupied by the osteological preparator Guggenheim, with whom 
 conversation was always in German. For many years this old German 
 worked at preparing fish skeletons for the Museum, whose eccentricities 
 of dress and habits will be long remembered by the Agassiz students of that 
 early day. He was an inveterate smoker and snuff-taker, wore a wig, and 
 made his midday coffee amid the debris of his work. 
 
 Time at first passed slowly with the two new students. They had been 
 given a difficult problem, and weeks passed with little progress in its solu- 
 tion. It was a trial of persistence, of character, as w r ell as of keenness of 
 observation, a test to show whether the interest of the student was real or 
 imagined. While our efforts w r ere at times disheartening in their results, 
 perseverance and continued application won the day. Gradually we saw 
 the light and were able to show, each in his particular problem, the succes- 
 sive stages of growth in the young coral, and discovered the law governing 
 the multiplication of plates in the successive stages of growth. We were 
 then given other subjects to study, Mr. Niles taking up crinoids, while I was 
 given a large miscellaneous collection of fossil gastropods to assort and 
 arrange according to their relationships. We were both happy, having- 
 been assured by our great teacher that we were making good progress in 
 " learning to observe." 
 
 Soon, however, I contracted a bad case of measles, which ended in 
 serious impairment of my eyes, from which I suffered for years after. For

 some six months it was impossible for me to read ordinary print, and for 
 several years I could not use my eyes for evening study. 
 
 I returned to my Springfield home early in May, equipped with tanks 
 of alcohol (the well known 'Agassiz tanks') for the preservation of speci- 
 mens. Although in wretched health, suffering from chronic indigestion as 
 well as from weak eyes, I collected over four hundred specimens of animals, 
 chiefly vertebrates, and largely birds, besides taking a share in the farm 
 work. 
 
 On my return to the Museum in the autumn I ventured to express my 
 strong desire to study birds. The condition of my eyes, however, was a 
 great handicap. The mammals and birds were in charge of A. E. Verrill, 
 then a student at the Museum (later professor of zoology for many years 
 at Yale University), who was requested to assign me material for study. 
 The collection of birds consisted at that time of several hundred skins 
 (possibly a thousand or two, all North American), and several thousand in 
 alcohol, nearly all uncatalogued and the alcoholics unidentified. I began 
 with the identification and cataloguing of the alcoholics, which occupied 
 most of my time for many months, and really extended over years, as 
 new collections came in. I soon acquired facility in recognizing birds in 
 obscure plumages after long storage in alcohol, their feathers wet and 
 colors disguised. It was, therefore, good training in the art of "learning 
 to see." My weak eyes, however, prevented study at night, and even the 
 little writing required in entering specimens in the catalogue often entailed 
 much suffering. I attended numerous courses of lectures, but my progress 
 in acquiring further knowledge of languages, so essential to a scientific 
 student, was for a considerable time at a standstill. 
 
 At this time, by direction of Professor Agassiz, I took up the study of 
 Pterylography, with the aid of C. L. Nitzsch's classic 'System der Ptery- 
 lographie' (Halle, 1840), and made many preparations in illustration of the 
 subject from both fresh and alcoholic material, with a view to the publica- 
 tion of an extended illustrated monograph of the Pterylography of the Owls. 
 Illness, however, retarded the work, and other interests and duties inter- 
 vening, it was never completed. But the investigation proved of great use 
 to me in subsequent work in ornithology. 1 
 
 Thus the time passed during the next two years and a half, my vacations 
 being spent at home collecting specimens for the Agassiz Museum. For 
 
 1 Professor Agassiz thus refers to the subject in the Annual Report of the Museum of Comparative 
 Zoology for the year 1863, p. 17: "111 health has also taken away Mr. Allen from his field of labors. 
 I regret it the more since he has made excellent progress in Ornithology and promised to become a 
 valuable assistant in the arrangement of the specimens of birds. He has left unfinished a very interest- 
 ing investigation upon the structure and arrangement of the feathers of birds."

 assistance rendered in cataloguing and in other routine work at the Mu- 
 seum, a monthly allowance was received sufficient for my necessary living 
 expenses, together with a furnished room in the Museum dormitory, known 
 as ' Zoological Hall/ at that time the home of the student assistants of the 
 Museum. 
 
 During the summer of 1864 I made a trip to Sodus, Wayne County, 
 X. Y., where several weeks were spent with relatives. The region, border- 
 ing Lake Ontario, was originally heavily forested, and some of the virgin 
 forest still remained. The type of country was new to me and intensely 
 interesting. A large collection of the land and fresh-water mollusks was 
 gathered and eagerly studied, and a few insects, mammals and birds were 
 collected, including a few species of both mammals and birds I had not 
 before seen in life. 
 
 With the Agassiz Expedition in Brazil (1866}. 
 
 During the winter of 1864-65, Professor Agassiz's usual vigorous health 
 began to give way under the strain of years of incessant work and care, so 
 that a change of scene and some degree of relaxation became imperative. 
 A generous Boston friend of means (Nathaniel Thayer) suggested his mak- 
 ing a journey to Brazil, and offered to provide the means not only for his 
 own expenses but also for a small corps of assistants. This kind offer he 
 accepted. It was then early in March, 1865, and the expedition was to 
 start as soon as the necessary preparations could be made. On March 12 
 he asked me if I would like to join the expedition. Naturally I accepted 
 the unexpected invitation, and was instructed to join three other Museum 
 assistants who had also been invited to accompany the expedition, and 
 meet him, with them, at a designated place in Boston to arrange for our 
 passports. Thus suddenty opportunity opened to us for exploration in a 
 distant land. \Ve left Boston for New York on the evening of March 26, 
 and sailed for Rio de Janeiro on April 2, on the steamship ' Colorado,' of 
 the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The 'Colorado' was a new vessel, 
 of 2000 tons, then regarded as remarkably large and luxuriously furnished. 
 This was her maiden voyage, and Professor Agassiz and his party of six- 
 teen persons were the only passengers. 
 
 As we passed down the coast of Virginia, on April 3, heavy masses of 
 smoke were seen over the western horizon, which the Captain of the 'Colo- 
 rado' believed to indicate a distant battlefield. But it was not till May 16 
 that, news of the fall of Richmond reached us in Brazil and confirmed the 
 Captain's surmise that the smoke we saw on April 3 was from a great battle 
 the closing contest of the civil war.
 
 12 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 Early in the voyage Professor Agassiz began a series of lectures, which 
 was continued almost daily till we reached Rio de Janeiro, dealing in turn 
 with the Gulf Stream, the Sargosso Sea, embryology, and the classification 
 of the animal kingdom. \Ve arrived at Rio April 22, after an exceptionally 
 pleasant voyage. 
 
 Save for a few excursions, by rail or boat, to near points, the whole 
 party remained at Rio for several weeks, but work was organized imme- 
 diately on our arrival and collections of specimens were gathered daily 
 in the surrounding suburbs. At the same time preparations were under 
 way for the various projected expeditions into the interior that were to oc- 
 cupy us the rest of the year. Besides the six trained assistants from the 
 Museum, as many other young men were attached to the expedition as 
 volunteers; all were duly assigned positions on the different exploring 
 parties. 1 
 
 Following several short excursions from Rio, including a two weeks' trip 
 to Mendez and the Barra do Parahyba, on the Dom Pedro II railroad, 
 some 60 miles from Rio, I was assigned to one of the parties that was to 
 visit the northern Provinces of Brazil. \Ve left Rio de Janeiro June 9 for 
 Petropolis, a beautiful mountain suburb of Rio, where w T e spent the night. 2 
 The following morning we resumed our journey by a mule-drawn stage for 
 Juiz da Fora, over a perfect road, making the 100 miles in ten hours, with 
 relays of mules every ten miles. The road traversed a highly picturesque 
 section of country, parts of it clothed with verdure of almost Amazonian 
 luxuriance, while flocks of toucans and large parrots frequently attracted 
 attention. 
 
 At this point we were to outfit for our long journey into the wilderness ; 
 but instead of finding our equipment of mules and camarados awaiting us, 
 as we had expected (it having been ordered in advance), our animals were 
 still at distant ranches and nothing was in readiness. It required five days 
 to assemble the mules and their drivers. It was June 15 when our little 
 cavalcade of 14 mules, 4 horses, and 4 camarados left Juiz da Fora for the 
 headwaters of the Rio das Velhas, some 300 miles distant. 
 
 We reached Barbacena on the third day, where Mr. Ward with his share 
 
 1 The personnel of the Expedition, in addition to Professor Agassiz, was as follows: Assistants 
 from the Museum staff: John G. Anthony, conchologist; Charles Frederick Hartt, geologist; Orestes 
 H. St. John, geologist; George Sceva, osteologist; J. Burkhardt, artist. Volunteers: William James,, 
 later the eminent psychologist of Harvard University; Edward Copeland, Newton Dexter, James. 
 Hunnewell, S. V. R. Thayer, and Thomas W. Ward. D. Bourget, a French naturalist, joined the Ex- 
 pedition at Rio de Janeiro. 
 
 1 Our party consisted of Orestes H. St. John (geologist and chief), George Sceva, Thomas W. Ward 
 (mineralogist), and myself. We were to travel together, however, for only a short distance, as Mr. 
 Ward was to leave the party at Barbacena and Mr. Sceva at Lagoa Santa.

 of the cavalcade left us for Diamantina. We were delayed here several 
 days while Mr. Sceva made a fruitless side-trip to some limestone caves 
 at San Jose to prospect for fossil bones. We resumed the journey on the 
 24th, reaching Morro Velho July 7 and Lagoa Santa July 13, much of the 
 way by obscure and difficult roads. Here we spent several days, collecting 
 specimens and visiting the famous bone caverns l made classic by the 
 Danish naturalist, Dr. P. \V. Lund, who was still resident at Lagoa Santa 
 and whom we had the pleasure of meeting. Six days later we reached 
 Trahiras, on the Rio das Velhas, where we disposed of our animals and 
 outfitted with a large canoe and boatmen for the voyage down the river. 
 This involved another delay of eight days although our river equipment 
 had been ordered in advance and was supposed to be awaiting our arrival. 
 But the delay had its advantages, for it enabled us to repack the collections 
 we had made en route for shipment to the United States and gave oppor- 
 tunity for making a large collection of fishes, besides obtaining many birds 
 and mammals. We received here also our first letters from home, letters 
 that had taken three months to reach us. 
 
 We were able to secure a boat well adapted to our needs, a canoe 50 feet 
 in length and four in width, dug out of a single tree. This we rigged with 
 outriders and covered with canvas to protect us from the sun by day and 
 afford shelter at night. We named her the 'Gequitiba,' an Indian name 
 borne not only by the tree from which it was made, but by the fazenda and 
 village from which we outfitted. We also supplied ourselves w r ith a smaller 
 canoe to serve as a tender. Our crew consisted of four boatmen, a cook, 
 and an English boy we had previously secured at Morro Velha, with St. 
 John and myself, making eight persons in all. 
 
 Our journey from Juiz da Fora (distant about 120 miles from Rio) by 
 pack train to Gequitiba (or Trahiras), on the upper Rio das Velhas, was 
 made in twenty days of actual travel, the distance by our circuitous route 
 being about 300 miles, but the time occupied in outfitting for the two jour- 
 neys, and in various delays en route was much more, so that the time be- 
 tween our arrival at Juiz da Fora and our departure down the river was 
 about 50 days (June 9-July 31). 
 
 On July 31 we left Trahiras to descend the river, reaching its junction 
 (Barro do R\o das Velhas) with the Rio Sao Francisco August 28. Our pro- 
 gress was greatly delayed by the low stage of water rendering the numer- 
 ous rapids difficult, and in some instances dangerous, to pass. Nearly every 
 day we lost several hours in exploring for channels that would permit the

 warded.

 passage of our boat, and had several narrow escapes from shipwreck. 
 These delays gave opportunity to explore the adjacent country and to make 
 collections, particularly of birds, frogs, fishes and mollusks. The river is 
 very tortuous, particularly in its upper course, where it occasionally returns 
 on itself in great loops. The distance by land between Barro do Rio do 
 Gequitiba, our point of departure, and Barro do Rio das Velhas is said to 
 be 55 leagues or about 220 miles, and about 350 miles (estimated) by the 
 river. Our journey down the river, we were told, was one of the quickest 
 and most successful ever made at such a low stage of water, it being accom- 
 plished in twenty-one days, without having to unload the boat or losing any 
 baggage. We were fortunate in our choice of boat, as with an ajojo (two 
 boats lashed together) we should certainly have been wrecked in passing 
 rapids, and with a barca (house boat) have been repeatedly forced to un- 
 load our freight. We had also an excellent crew of boatmen, who often 
 took to the water and guided the boat by hand through dangerous passes. 
 
 We remained three days at the Barra, where we were obliged to get a 
 relay of boatmen, and left September 1 for Januaria, arriving there Septem- 
 ber 9. The Rio Sao Francisco is about twice the size of the Rio das Velhas 
 and unobstructed by rapids; we were hence able to make good progress, 
 though at times delayed by strong head winds. While at the Barra we 
 made very satisfactory collections, but spent much time in unsuccessful 
 efforts to obtain barrels and spirits for our specimens, which we had in- 
 tended to send from this point to Rio Janeiro for shipment to Cambridge. 
 Consequently we were obliged to take them with us, in the hope of being 
 able to send them to the coast for shipment home via Bahia or Pernambuco. 
 
 During the three months since we left Rio de Janeiro it had become 
 evident that my physical condition rendered it impracticable for me to 
 attempt to carry out the journey as originally planned, namely, to descend 
 the Rio Sao Francisco to the Barra do Rio Grande and then cross the divide 
 to the headwaters of the Rio Parahyba do Norte and thence reach the coast 
 in Ceara. After long consultation we decided to divide our party, Mr. 
 St. John to attempt to complete the journey as originally planned, while I 
 was to remain a short time at Januaria and then continue down the Sao 
 Francisco to a point from which it would prove practicable to make an 
 overland journey to Bahia. 
 
 In accordance with this plan Mr. St. John left Januaria in our small 
 canoe, with one man, September 14, with the alternative in mind that 
 should it prove impracticable to make the Ceara portion of the journey he 
 was to join me again at Barra do Rio Negro for the overland trip to Bahia. 
 Pluck and perseverance enabled him to carry out the original schedule of 
 the expedition, though short of funds and finally seriously ill with fever.
 
 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 15 
 
 I remained at Januaria till the 19th (ten days in all), having in the 
 meantime sold our big canoe and hired a barca for the descent of the Sao 
 Francisco, discharged our old boatmen and engaged others, repacked our 
 collections for the journey to Bahia, and made several excursions into the 
 neighboring country, which resulted in important accessions to our natural 
 history collection and many pages to my field notes. 
 
 The journey down the Rio Sao Francisco was made comfortably, save 
 for excessive heat (maximum daily temperature 80-98 Fahr.), and without 
 untoward incident beyond frequent delays by heavy head winds and by 
 illness of the boatmen. I decided to terminate the river journey at the 
 village of Chique-Chique, which point we reached in the afternoon of 
 October 8, the descent from Januaria to this point having occupied 18 days. 
 Chique-Chique is 530 miles below Januaria and about 580 miles from Bahia, 
 by the overland route. 
 
 The region about Chique-Chique is excessively arid and the heat intense. 
 It was near the beginning of the rainy season, which had already set in 
 further in the interior, as shown by the slight daily rise of the river during 
 my descent from Januaria. In fact, nearly the whole journey from Lagoa 
 Santa to this point was made just in advance of the rainy season, occasional 
 showers at different points indicating its near approach. 
 
 It was necessary for me to remain several weeks at Chique-Chique for 
 an opportunity to join a pack-train bound for the coast, there being con- 
 siderable traffic betAveen this point and Bahia. The caravans, however, 
 depart infrequently and at uncertain intervals. The route was by way of 
 Jacobina, Arraial do Riacho, Jacuhipe, Villa da Feira da Sta. Anna, and 
 Cachoeira. 
 
 The country between Chique-Chique and the coast at Bahia presents 
 three natural regions, which are plateaus, differing widely from each other 
 in their geological features. The first is excessively arid and extends from 
 the Rio Sao Francisco to Jacobina, a distance of rather more than 200 
 miles. It is a vast limestone plain, practically without inhabitants, so that 
 it was necessary to take with us not only food for the animals as well as the 
 men, but also drinking water, which was carried in large leather water bags, 
 as in parts of the Far East. This plain rises gradually toward the east, 
 culminating in the Taboleira de Jacobina. To the eastward the descent 
 to the Jacobina valley is abrupt, through a narrow precipitous defile known 
 as the Tombador (the tumble-down). Almost vertical walls of rock, nearly 
 a thousand feet in height, surround the head of the valley. 
 
 The second or middle plateau likewise has a breadth of some 200 miles, 
 extending from Jacobina eastward to the Sierra da Terra Dura, a point 
 midway between Jacobina and Cachoeira, at the head of Bahia Bay. The

 underlying rock is gneiss, with vast exposures of bare rock, and with nowhere 
 more than a very thin covering of soil. Slight knolls and shallow basins 
 alternate, with rarely a difference in altitude of more than twenty or thirty 
 feet. Many of the hollows form shallow lakes in the rainy season, from 
 which most of the water evaporates in the dry season. At frequent inter- 
 vals there are circular holes in the rock, called by the natives caldeiraos, 
 which I found on examination to be genuine pot-holes, some of them of 
 great size (the largest one measured was 20 feet in diameter). 
 
 A considerable descent is made in passing from the middle to the eastern 
 or coast plateau, which is characterized at least along our route of travel 
 by the general absence of rock exposures and heavy superficial deposits 
 of sand, doubtless from the abraded plains to the westward. The whole 
 region between the Sao Francisco and the sea is covered, generally speaking, 
 with low open forest, or catinga, except for a narrow belt along the coast, 
 where a moister atmosphere permits a more luxuriant growth. The whole 
 area presents a barren aspect, the vegetation being dwarfed and scanty and 
 the aridity excessive. The greatest aridity and the highest temperature 
 occurs in the limestone district, where little or no moisture is precipitated 
 for nine months in the year, and where all the herbaceous vegetation an- 
 nually withers. Cacti occur in great variety, including arboreal forms of 
 gigantic proportions. With the exception of a few species, the trees are 
 leafless throughout the long dry season, and the streams become dry or 
 merely form chains of brackish pools. 1 The convolvuli and other vines 
 clinging to the arboreal vegetation, though dead at this season, indicated 
 the presence of a wealth of flowers and foliage during the short rainy period. 
 Our train comprised several score of pack mules and a considerable num- 
 ber of riding horses. Eight animals were necessary for the transportation 
 of my collections. The journey occupied several weeks of rather tedious 
 travel, Bahia not being reached till about the end of November. I soon 
 found storage in a warehouse for my collections until I could arrange for 
 their shipment to Boston. They included several cases of bird and mammal 
 skins, mollusks, and geological specimens, besides some six or eight barrels 
 of fishes, reptiles and other vertebrates in alcohol. These required repack- 
 ing for shipment, new casks being necessary for part of the alcoholics. 
 Some days later, I found that my fine work in repacking was only temporary, 
 for at the custom house an export duty of 85 per cent was levied on natural 
 history specimens, which involved the opening of my cases for inspection! 
 
 As I knew Professor Agassiz had an agent, who was also a warm personal

 102 F.

 friend of his, at Bahia, I had anticipated little trouble in arranging for my 
 passage home and the forwarding of my collections. It unfortunately 
 happened that he was absent at this time from the country, and also that 
 no provision had been made for the arrival of any of the fi< Id parties at this 
 point, and consequently that no arrangements had been made for sending 
 home any members of the Expedition or their collections from Bahia. I 
 was thus received as a stranger, arid as my funds had become exhausted, 
 and I was also seriously ill, the outlook was not exhilarating. It was, 
 however, my great good fortune to find at my hotel Captain Joseph Swift, 
 of Gloucester, Mass., a retired shipmaster now acting as a super-cargo for 
 a Boston firm engaged in the Brazil trade. I revealed to him my straits 
 and he immediately took me under his care, even advancing money for my 
 expenses. He also secured passage for me on his vessel soon to sail for 
 Boston. I shipped the collections by the steamship 'North America' of 
 the United States and Brazilian Steamship Company. 
 
 On December 15 I left Bahia on the Hanoverian brigantine ' Gehardina,' 
 of 300 tons, chartered here for Boston and loaded with sugar and hides by 
 Captain Swift, who with myself were the only passengers, payment for my 
 passage to be made on my arrival in Boston. The accommodations were 
 primitive a berth in the Captain's cabin under the companion-way, the 
 fare conforming in character to what would be expected in a small sailing 
 vessel in the commercial trade. The officers and crew were Germans, but 
 some of the former could speak a little English. During the three weeks 
 spent in Bahia I made the acquaintance of a number of foreigners resident 
 in the city, among them several who were much interested in scientific 
 pursuits, notably Dr. O. Wucherer and Charles Williams. 
 
 The ' Gerhadina' was favored for a month with fine weather and made a 
 quick voyage as far as Cape Hatteras, with a fair prospect of reaching 
 Boston in less than forty-five days from Bahia. But January 21, in passing 
 the Cape, we were suddenly struck by a furious gale, which rapidly drove 
 us off our course to the eastward. We were constantly under close-reefed 
 sails for fourteen days, the wind shifting about every twelve hours from 
 northwest to northeast, and back again, with tremendously heavy cross 
 seas. At the end of this period the ship had become strained and was 
 leaking, the food supply was getting short, and as a last resource Captain 
 Swift and Captain Aalderks decided to try to make Bermuda, then not far 
 away. But as we had not seen the sun for two weeks, it was dangerous to 
 trust to dead reckoning in attempting to make so difficult a port in stormy 
 weather. So the 'Gerhadina' was soon headed southward for St. Thomas, 
 the harbor of last resort for North Atlantic seamen in distress. In a short 
 time we passed into smoother water and in due time reached the harbor
 
 18 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 of St. Thomas, which we found filled with shipping driven thither, like 
 ourselves, by stress of weather, most of the vessels with broken masts or 
 otherwise seriously disabled. Not a few, as we learned later, caught in 
 this memorable storm were never again heard from, and our ship was among 
 those reported as overdue and supposed to have been lost. 
 
 A week at St. Thomas sufficed for repairs and the taking on of fresh 
 supplies, and gave me time to gather a small general collection of natural 
 history specimens, and we were again on our way north, with fine weather 
 and full sails as far as the dreaded Cape, when we again encountered heavy 
 gales and were driven from our course. It was overcast and stormy with 
 high winds for the rest of the voyage; w r e hoped we still held enough westing 
 to make our port, but were in doubt, as we were again dependent on dead 
 reckoning. It was therefore a crucial time when at sunset of a boisterous 
 March day the sailors were sent aloft to shorten sail, preparatory to laying- 
 to for the night, presumably near the eastern end of Long Island, but with 
 doubt as to whether we should not be so far off our course as to render 
 necessary another long voyage to recover our lost westing. Shortly, how- 
 ever, the sailors from the topmast announced a light, and soon after a 
 second light, thus making us sure of the position of the ship and the course 
 to lay. The next morning the 'Gerhadina' was anchored in the harbor of 
 "\Voods Hole, and a few days later ended her ninety days' voyage from Bahia 
 to Boston. 
 
 "When I left Bahia I was rather glad that the fates had determined that 
 I was to make the voyage home in a sailing vessel, and on completing it I 
 was still glad I had had the opportunity of such a varied experience. I had 
 seen the ocean for weeks in its most amiable moods, and I had seen it again 
 for weeks in its most angry paroxysms. The trade-wind belts, the doldrums 
 with their huge, slowly rolling swells, the North Atlantic in its February 
 anger, were all precious memories. The Sargosso Sea had added specimens 
 of the surface life of the sea to my collections minute mollusks and a varied 
 assortment of crustaceans gathered from the gulf weed and many observa- 
 tions on sea-birds, flying-fishes, and the atmospheric phenomena of mid- 
 ocean. 
 
 Collecting Trip to the Middle West (1867}. 
 
 During the last two months of the voyage my health naturally improved, 
 but I had suffered so long from chronic indigestion and intestinal troubles, 
 and especially during my journey in Brazil, that I finally felt it best to try 
 and abandon my ideal of a life devoted to natural history research, and 
 accordingly resigned my position at the Museum of Comparative Zoology

 and returned to the farm. Vith this change of occupation my health 
 improved, and with it my old love strengthened. During the winter of 
 18661867, the point of non-resistance was reached, and I planned a natural 
 history collecting trip to the Middle West, in parts of which several of my 
 mother's brothers and sisters had settled as pioneers, thus affording me 
 convenient bases from which to prosecute my work. I was successful in 
 securing orders in advance for specimens of both animals and plants, and 
 so successful in filling the orders that after thousands of miles of travel and 
 the acquisition of a most valuable experience I returned home free of debt, 
 and therefore perfectly satisfied with the results. This trip furnished 
 material for several faunal papers, published in the 'Proceedings' and 
 ' Memoirs ' of the Boston Society of Natural History. 
 
 The month of May was spent near Sodus Bay, on Lake Ontario. Dur- 
 ing June the Chicago Academy of Sciences was the point from which 
 excursions were made into the adjoining country, including a trip to Rich- 
 mond, Indiana, where as a guest of a fellow naturalist, I passed one of the 
 most enjoyable weeks of my life, collecting fossils as well as birds, insects 
 and shells. Several weeks were spent in north-central Illinois, and also in 
 the vicinity of Des Moines, Iowa. During most of July and August I was 
 a guest of the Iowa Geological Survey, through the kindness of the State 
 Geologist, Dr. Charles A. White, and of his field assistant, my friend 
 Orestes H. St. John, who had been a fellow-student with me at the Cambridge 
 Museum and my companion on the Brazil expedition. I accompanied 
 him during his reconnaissance of an area about sixty miles square in south- 
 west-central Iowa (mainly the nine counties of Dallas, Guthrie, Boone, 
 Greene, Carroll, Crawford, Sac, Calhoun and Audubon), the greater part 
 of which region, and thence westward to the Missouri River, was still 
 practically an unsettled wilderness. Our camp wagon was our sole shelter 
 and our immediate source of supply, and our teamster-cook our only human 
 associate for many days together. Here I made general collections, but 
 for the most part found plants and insects the most profitable, securing 
 during the trip several species of each that proved to be new to science. 
 On my return I spent a few weeks in southern Michigan, and made another 
 short stay at Sodus, N. Y. 
 
 This out of door life proved of great benefit to my health, and while 
 still in the West I wrote to Professor Agassiz that I felt again equal to 
 resuming my duties at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. His response 
 was a most cordial invitation to return, and in October I resumed my post, 
 where I remained uninterruptedly for the next eighteen years, except when 
 in the field on Museum expeditions, as noted in the following narrative. I 
 had already been placed in charge of the departments of mammals and birds

 when I accompanied the Agassiz Expedition to Brazil, in 1865, and in 1871 
 was promoted to the official status of " assistant in ornithology," and con- 
 tinued as acting curator of mammals and birds till my resignation in 1885 
 to assume similar duties at the American Museum of Natural History in 
 New York. 
 
 East Florida Expedition (1868-1869}. 
 
 In the winter of 1868-1869 I conducted a three month's exploration of 
 the country bordering the St. John's River in eastern Florida, between 
 Jacksonville and Enterprise, which furnished the basis of my paper 'On 
 the Mammals and Winter Birds of East Florida,' etc., published in the 
 'Bulletin' of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (April, 1871). This 
 journey was made, with two volunteer assistants, in a ship's yawl fitted 
 with a large sail. As the country was then only slightly settled above 
 Pilatka, our boat was our home and base of supplies, but at times we occu- 
 pied rude huts that had been deserted by their former occupants. Para- 
 keets were still abundant, and alligators had almost undisputed possession 
 of the bayous and river banks. At certain points of our journey no human 
 beings were seen for many days together except the members of our own 
 party. 
 
 ASSISTANT AT MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY (1871-1885). 
 Great Plains and Rocky Mountain Expedition (1871-1872}. 
 
 In April, 1871, I started on a nine months' collecting trip to the Great 
 Plains and the Rocky Mountains, in the interest of the Museum of Com- 
 parative Zoology, with two assistants, Richard Bliss, a fellow-student at 
 the Agassiz Museum, and Caleb W. Bennett, of Springfield, Massachusetts. 
 Mr. Bliss returned to Cambridge about the beginning of August, Mr. 
 Bennett remaining with me, as hunter and taxidermist, till the end of the 
 expedition in January, 1872. General collections were made at intervals 
 from the Missouri River to Great Salt Lake, Utah. As western Kansas 
 was then subject to raids by hostile Indians, we were provided with letters 
 of introduction from Major-General Pope, Commander of the Department 
 of the Missouri, to the commandants of the military posts near our proposed 
 route in Kansas and Wyoming, requesting them to aid the expedition by 
 providing escorts and transportation, should such assistance prove neces- 
 sary. Accordingly Fort Hays was selected as the most convenient base 
 from which to hunt buffalo, where a vacant suite of unoccupied officer's 
 quarters was assigned us for use during the six weeks we spent at this point, 
 making collections of the most varied and comprehensive character. 
 
 We began work at Leavenworth, where we spent the first ten days of
 
 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 21 
 
 May, and then went to Topeka, remaining there about two weeks collecting, 
 chiefly birds, fishes, reptiles, and insects. We arrived at Fort Hays May 
 26, where we remained till July 3, becoming well acquainted with the sur- 
 rounding country while waiting for the military escort we were assured 
 was necessary for our safety in going out to the buffalo range, some thirty 
 miles northwest of the post. The cavalry, however, was absent on escort 
 duty with government supply trains and the date of their return was 
 tantalizingly indefinite. While waiting for several weeks for this alleged 
 essential to our buffalo work, we made the acquaintance of Charles Clark- 
 son, a professional buffalo hunter who for several years had hunted buffalo 
 in winter for shipment to the eastern cities. This intelligent, enterprising 
 and level-headed New Englander, who lived in a dugout on the outskirts 
 of the military reservation, who owned a good pair of mules and a wagon, 
 and was familiar with the ways of the Sioux Indians, assured us it would be 
 quite safe to go on a buffalo hunt without the encumbrance of a military 
 escort. As he was willing to act as our scout and hunter and furnish us 
 with the necessary transportation for a reasonable consideration, we deemed 
 it safe to trust to his judgment regarding the risks entailed. 
 
 W T e left Fort Hays on our buffalo hunt June 21, returning four days 
 later with a wagon load of buffalo skeletons and skulls, besides leaving on 
 the open prairie five skeletons we had prepared that we were unable to 
 bring with us for lack of room. As we still needed an old cow, and had 
 secured no calves, Clarkson and I returned to the buffalo range the next 
 day, and at the end of another four days had completed our desiderata, 
 having not only secured a fine old cow skeleton and a number of young 
 calves, but had also retrieved the skeletons left on our former trip, which, 
 however, we found had been somewhat damaged by coyotes. In all our 
 spoils numbered .14 complete skeletons and several additional skulls, repre- 
 senting both sexes and various ages, from yearlings to old bulls and cows; 
 also the skins as well as skeletons of five young calves. The time thus 
 occupied was eight days, involving about thirty-six hours of travel. We 
 saved no skins, except those of the calves, as at this season the old coat had 
 been shed (except of course on the shoulders and head) and the new coat 
 was so short that it barely concealed the skin. 
 
 The experience was one long to be remembered, as we took no camp out- 
 fit but our blankets, a little flour and canned fruits, depending naturally 
 upon buffalo meat for our main subsistence, buffalo chips supplying us with 
 fuel. Our blankets were our only shelter at night, and our wagon was the 
 only available screen from the hot midday sun, under the shade of which we 
 crept to eat our dinner. 1 We saw no Indians, but the landscape was every- 
 
 i Temperature 105 F. in the shade on one occasion, and usually over 100 at midday.

 where dotted with small bands of buffalos; which were so numerous on one 
 occasion that they darkened the plains to the west of us as far as the eye 
 could reach. They were given no peace by the skin hunters, several parties 
 of whom we met on the range. The skins then sold for two dollars each at 
 the nearest railroad station. Once a small band of buffalo, stampeded by 
 these hunters, sent us to our wagon for safety, the herd passing on both 
 sides of us almost within arm's reach. 
 
 On returning from the buffalo hunt we packed the collections we had 
 accumulated at Fort Hays and shipped them East, part to Rochester for 
 preparation and part direct to the museum at Cambridge. July 3 we took 
 the train for Denver, and at daylight the next morning obtained our first 
 view of the Rocky Mountains, the snowfields on the higher peaks coming 
 clearly into view with the rising of the sun. We spent two days at Denver, 
 outfitting for a wagon trip into the mountains, and left for South Park 
 on the afternoon of July 6, camping the first night on Turkey Creek, just 
 behind the first range of foothills. While in Denver we had noticed a band 
 of about 300 Ute Indians, encamped on the outskirts of the city, who had 
 come in to receive their annual supplies from the United States Government, 
 and to barter their robes and other furs with the people of Denver. They 
 swarmed through the town on horseback, men, women and children, clad 
 in their native costumes, their faces painted, and their persons decorated 
 with beads and brass and tin trinkets. They were nearly all bare-headed, 
 their coarse jet black hair reaching usually to their shoulders. Some wore 
 hats, or hats and coats, and a few full suits of w r hite man's clothes, but 
 usually a deer skin or a woolen blanket wrapped about them w r as the princi- 
 pal article of clothing. It was our first sight of the red man in his native 
 splendor and naturally these Indians greatly interested us. But great was 
 our disgust to find that they had left Denver for the mountains just ahead 
 of us and were encamped only a few hundred yards beyond the place we 
 had chosen for our own camp. While they might be 'honest Indians' our 
 guide deemed it best for us to keep a sharp lookout for our horses and other 
 belongings. We decided to stay in camp in the morning till they passed on. 
 They broke camp early and we did not anticipate meeting them again. 
 In this we were disappointed, for we found they had gone only a few miles 
 and again encamped. Thus we passed and repassed each other's camps for 
 several days, until we decided to remain for some time at a point that 
 offered good collecting, in the hope that they would continue on their 
 journey and we should be rid of their visits. But this plan failed, as we 
 again overtook them and they later became once more a nuisance. They 
 were friendly, indeed quite too familiar, and inveterate beggars, particu- 
 larly for tobacco and matches.

 Our journey to South Park was of great interest, not only for its scenic 
 features but for the transitions in the fauna and flora as we advanced to 
 higher altitudes. We reached the base of Mount Lincoln, at the northern 
 end of the Park, July 19, where we camped for a week, extending our collect- 
 ing trip to above timber line. On the top of Mount Lincoln we found the 
 pipit (Anthus rubescens} breeding, and collected specimens of a new species 
 of rosy finch (Leucosticte australis), and at timber line, in the taluses ob- 
 tained about thirty specimens of a new pica (Ochotona saxatilis Bangs, 
 described in 1899 from the specimens we collected in 1871). We returned 
 from South Park by way of Pike's Peak, Manitou Springs and the Garden 
 of the Gods. 1 We remained here nearly a week collecting and thence pro- 
 ceeded along the outer base of the foothills northward to Denver, where 
 we arrived August 18, the trip having occupied a little more than six weeks. 
 
 Our next collecting point was Cheyenne, where we spent ten days, and 
 then Bennett and I (Mr. Bliss having returned to Cambridge) went direct 
 to Ogden, Utah. This was our base for the next seven weeks, from which 
 we made excursions to the northern end of Great Salt Lake. Here we found 
 avocets, stilts, phalaropes and other marsh and shore birds plentiful, and 
 an abundance of ducks, terns and gulls. We also obtained many fishes, 
 mollusks and crayfishes. 
 
 October 9 we took the tram east to Green River, where we remained 
 till the 17th. Here we also secured many fishes from pools and streams, 
 and made a considerable collection of fossil fishes from the famous Green 
 River shales, but high winds, ice and snow rendered collecting difficult. 
 
 From Green River w r e went to Fort Fred Steele, arriving at 3 A. M., 
 October 18. This was the point we had selected from which to make our 
 departure into the mountains for big game. We soon found, however, that 
 this plan was impracticable, owing to the expense and the uncertainty of 
 the results. Fortunately at this juncture I met Messrs. Ferris and Hunt, 
 professional hunters, who were supplying game ^to the eastern markets as a 
 business. I soon made an agreement with them to furnish a specified 
 number of the various kinds of such big game as could be obtained in this 
 region, for a certain price per head, to be delivered to us at Percy, a station 
 on the Union Pacific Railroad about thirty miles east of Fort Steele. 
 
 After packing and shipping the collections made at Fort Steele, which 
 included among other things several boxes of fossils, we went to Percy, 
 where we remained from October 20 till December 18. Percy consisted 
 at this time of the railway station, a small hotel, and one or two occupied 
 log-cabins and many vacant ones, all that was left of what a few years 
 
 1 There were only a few log-cabins and a post-office at the present site of Colorado Springs, and 
 Manitou was merely a name.

 before, while the Union Pacific Railroad was under construction at this 
 point, was a booming railroad town. Some of the houses w T ere in decay 
 and others had been removed, but the evidences of its former activities 
 were shown by those remaining and the characteristic debris of tin-cans, 
 empty bottles and other refuse. We hired for our workshop a log cabin 
 that had previously seen service as a saloon, as it was large and fairly well 
 lighted. It served our purpose admirably. Here for two months we 
 worked six days a week in preparing the big game delivered to us at fre- 
 quent intervals by Ferris and Hunt, as per contract. About one day in 
 seven we devoted to hunting, and added thus to our spoils several ante- 
 lopes and coyotes, jack-rabbits and cottontails, besides many birds, includ- 
 ing a large series of sage grouse, then so abundant that Bennett and I, on 
 one occasion, shot thirty in an hour all we could carry to camp, and 
 could have killed as many more the next hour had we needed them. As 
 no hay or similar material could be obtained at Percy, we had to substi- 
 tute dry grass for filling the skins of the mammals, and to obtain this we 
 had to tramp to a moist ravine a mile and a half away, cut it with our 
 hunting knives and carry it home on our backs. A journey of a hun- 
 dred miles by rail to Laramie was necessary to obtain material for pack- 
 ing cases, namely, discarded dry-goods boxes, which we dismantled and 
 shipped as freight to Percy and remade to suit our needs. Roughing out 
 skeletons and preparing skins of deer, elk, mountain sheep and antelope 
 occupied our time and kept us confined to our laboratory for the greater 
 part of these eight weeks, but our enthusiasm was well sustained by the 
 results, and now and then a day's tramp through the sage brush and snow 
 relieved the monotony. 
 
 Our shipment of 17 large cases from Percy included skins and skeletons 
 of 8 elk, 12 black-tailed deer, 1 white-tailed deer, 25 prong-horned antelopes, 
 and 11 bighorn sheep; also 35 skulls of antelope and a fine series of the skulls 
 of elk and black-tailed deer, besides small game (coyotes, foxes, porcupines, 
 beaver, rabbits, etc.) and birds. It nearly filled a freight car, and was 
 shipped on December 17, but, as will be explained later, did not reach its 
 destination for several months. 
 
 On the 19th we took an east-bound train for Omaha, already twelve 
 hours ]ate when it reached Percy. A mile and a half east of Percy we ran 
 into a snowbank and the train was partly derailed and delayed for another 
 two hours. Between Carbon and Medicine Bow we were again stalled in 
 the snow for twenty -two hours, where we had to await the arrival of a 
 wrecking train, and two engines to replace our disabled ones. \Ye got our 
 first square meal in two days at Sidney. "We struck another heavy snow- 
 storm at North Platte, and at Elkhorn, near Omaha, it was necessarv to

 divide the train to overcome the heavy grade. When we reached Omaha 
 at 9 A. M. of the 22nd, the train was nearly three days overdue. It was 
 also the last train that made the run over the Union Pacific Railroad that 
 winter, owing to a snow-blockade which lasted for several months. 
 
 As I had already made an arrangement by letter with Clarkson of Hays 
 City for a winter buffalo hunt, we left Omaha for Kansas City at 4 p. M. 
 of the same day, reaching Kansas City at 4 A. M. of the 23rd. Here I ob- 
 tained free passes to Ellis and return for Mr. Bennett and myself, and 
 transportation for our specimens on the return trip to Kansas City at half 
 rates, and thence east to Boston by the Merchant's Union Express Company 
 on the same terms. At 10.45 P. M. we were again on a train bound west 
 over the Kansas Pacific. At 11 A. M. the next day we were stalled in a snow 
 drift near Bunkerhill. At Bunkerhill we found five freight trains, eleven 
 engines and a snowplow stalled in the snow. At 3 P. M. orders were received 
 for all trains to remain here till the storm abated. At 8.30 A. M. the next day 
 (December 25) our train, equipped with a snowplow, started on its journey 
 (temperature 12 F. below zero), but in an hour we were again stuck fast in 
 the snow in a cut, but were finally pushed through by two freight engines 
 attached to the rear end of the train. A delay of an hour at Fossil, for 
 switching, gave the passengers, at 11 A. M., an opportunity to procure a 
 luncheon of crackers and cheese, our Christmas dinner and the first food 
 we had had since the previous evening. 
 
 We reached Hays, thirty miles west of Fossil, that evening. Within 
 sight of the station were five stalled trains, each with two locomotives. 
 Behind us were two freight trains with ' double-headers,' and two snowplows, 
 one propelled by three engines and the other by four. During the following 
 night the wind refilled the cuts behind us between Walker and Bunkerhill, 
 causing another blockade. 
 
 On the 26th I went to Clarkson's ranch and found he was at Coyote, 
 fifty miles further west; but there was no train west till the evening of the 
 28th, when we reached Coyote, at 9.30 P. M. Fortunately the weather had 
 now moderated, and on the 29th we went to Clarkson's camp and made 
 arrangements with him for another buffalo hunt. At this time we were in 
 quest of skins for mounting; our summer hunt, as already stated, was 
 primarily for skeletons. Two weeks earlier buffalo had been abundant as 
 far east as Coyote, but they had been so relentlessly persecuted by hunters 
 that they had moved west and were now massed chiefly between Sheridan 
 and Wallace, about one hundred miles to the westward. Between one 
 hundred and one hundred and fifty hunters were said to be in constant 
 pursuit of them. It was roughly estimated that at least 15,000 buffalo had 
 been killed along the Kansas Pacific Railroad during the year (1871).
 
 26 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 We were prepared to start on our hunt on the morning of December 31, 
 but the weather turned severely cold and delayed our departure till the 
 following day, January 1, 1872, when we drove south with Clarkson's outfit 
 for nine miles and then returned, finding no buffalo, and being assured by 
 hunting parties we met that there were no buffalos in that direction. We 
 lunched at Coyote and then drove north nearly to the Saline River, camping 
 for the night six miles north of Coyote, and the following night on the South 
 Fork of the Solomon, 30 miles from Coyote. The next morning we went 
 northwest, along the divide between the Saline and the Solomon, to a point 
 opposite Buffalo Station,* thence turning north and camping on the North 
 Fork of the Solomon. We saw no buffalo, but were informed by returning 
 hunters that there was a large herd six or eight miles to the northward, 
 where a band of Omaha Indians were hunting them. The next night we 
 camped on a tributary of the Solomon, ten miles northeast of Grinnell. 
 During the day's drive we saw a few buffalo about 2 p. M., and were in sight 
 of small bands for the rest of the day, but they were too wild to permit of a 
 near approach. The next day, January 4, we came up with the first old 
 bulls about five miles from camp, but they were wary, and the ground was 
 unfavorable for stalking them. The weather became suddenly threatening 
 and the wind keen and piercing from the north. Clarkson and his partner, 
 Alden, deemed it imprudent to go further from the railroad, as if a storm 
 should overtake us we would be far from shelter and without wood. They 
 decided to return toward the Saline, from which point we could easily reach 
 shelter should a storm render it necessary. We turned southward and in a 
 few miles came upon a small herd of buffalo, from which Clarkson killed 
 five, Alden three, and I got an old bull. The weather continuing cold and 
 the sky overcast, with signs of a storm, we put up our large Sibley tent, 
 which protected us from the wind and served as our base for the next three 
 days, during which, although buffalo were scarce, our hunters secured their 
 loads of meat, and we obtained nearly the desired number of skins. On the 
 return journey we secured two more, reaching Buffalo Station on the even- 
 ing of the 7th. The station consisted of the section house and two freight 
 cars, one of them fitted up with sleeping bunks and the other serving as 
 kitchen, and a water tank and two or three dugouts. The owner of one 
 of the latter, a buffalo hunter, happened to be absent and Mr. Bennett 
 and I slept in his dugout. Although the entrance was ankle deep with 
 water, and the floor also covered with water, we passed a comfortable night, 
 such shelter as this being far preferable to sleeping out of doors in the 
 chilling south wind then prevailing. We learned here that the buffalo had 
 left the whole line of the railroad, presumably driven off by the 600 or more 
 Omaha Indians we had seen encamped on the Solomon. So we felt satis- 
 fied that we had done as well as was possible under the conditions.
 
 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 27 
 
 We drove the next day to Coyote, where we finished preparing our 
 specimens and boxed and shipped them. They included eight skins and 
 three heads of buffalo, and skins and skeletons of two lynxes, several coyotes, 
 wolves and jack-rabbits, and a few birds. We settled with Clarkson for $50, 
 which sum covered our transportation and board for a week, and his promise 
 to get for us three more skins of buffalo two cows and a yearling bull, 
 which were still lacking to complete our series. 
 
 We left Fort Hays for the East at 3 P. M. on January 12, and reached 
 Cambridge on the 22d, stopping by the way at my old home in Springfield 
 for a couple of days to visit the home folks, well satisfied with the results of 
 our nine months' work in the field. We had collected and sent to Cam- 
 bridge 200 skins, 60 skeletons and 240 additional skulls of mammals (mostly 
 large species) ; 1500 bird skins, over 100 birds in alcohol, and a large num- 
 ber of nests and eggs; a considerable number of fishes, both fossil and re- 
 cent, and a few mollusks, and many insects and crustaceans. 
 
 The following year I remained at the Cambridge Museum, cataloguing 
 and labeling the rapidly increasing collections of birds and mammals. 
 
 Yellowstone Expedition (1873). 
 
 In May, 1873, Professor Baird, Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian 
 Institution, saw an opportunity to advance our knowledge of the natural 
 history of a then lit tie known portion of the W r est through utilizing oppor- 
 tunities afforded by the large military expedition the War Department was 
 to provide as an escort for the railroad surveyors who were to locate the 
 Northern Pacific Railroad westward from Bismark. A number of promi- 
 nent specialists were invited to cooperate in the natural history work, some 
 of whom accepted but later found it impracticable to join the expedition. 
 I was invited to take charge of the work in vertebrate zoology, and the 
 authorities of the Museum of Comparative Zoology kindly granted me 
 leave of absence to accompany the expedition, the Museum to have a share 
 of the duplicates obtained. The large scientific staff contemplated at the 
 outset dwindled to a few persons, mostly with little or no experience in 
 scientific field work, so that I was installed as chief of the party. I secured 
 the services of Mr. C. W. Bennett, who accompanied me on my 1871 expedi- 
 tion, as my personal assistant. The other members of the party were a 
 geologist, a photographer, and an artist, the latter being Mr. Konopicky 
 of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. The photographer's wagon un- 
 fortunately did not arrive until the expedition had reached the Yellowstone, 
 and he was accordingly greatly handicapped in his work.
 
 28 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 Mr. Bennett and I left Boston for Bismark, on the Upper Missouri, 
 May 27, via New York, Chicago, St. Paul, Duluth and Fargo, the other 
 members of our party joining us at Xe\v York. Passenger trains were then 
 running over the Northern Pacific only as far as Fargo, North Dakota. 
 Construction trains were in use beyond this point, running "on orders" at 
 irregular and uncertain intervals. On reaching the 17th siding, some 
 twelve miles or more east of Bismark, we had orders to wait over till the 
 next day for a train, or return to the 16th siding, signifying at least a day's 
 delay. The terrain here was a wet grassy prairie, the home of myriads of 
 mosquitoes; the shelter for the night was a box car, without seats, blankets, 
 food, or even potable water. It seemed better to complete the journey on 
 foot, and with two of my party and a sergeant from Fort Lincoln, with the 
 mail for Forts Lincoln, Rice and Buford, as guide, we reached Bismark at 
 midnight. The distance from Fargo to Bismark is 200 miles, which re- 
 quired nearly three days to make. 
 
 Reported the next day at Fort Lincoln, opposite Bismark, and made 
 arrangements for transportation to Fort Rice, some twenty miles south of 
 Fort Lincoln, and the rendezvous of the Yellowstone Expedition, where we 
 arrived on the 8th of June. Here our party was most cordially welcomed 
 by Gen. D. S. Stanley, commander of the Expedition, who assured us of 
 every assistance possible in our work. Captain H. M. Lazelle, Company H, 
 8th Infantry, U. S. A., an officer greatly interested in several lines of scien- 
 tific research, was detailed to take charge of the Scientific Corps, which was 
 assigned to the Headquarters Division of the Expedition. In due time we 
 were provided with the necessary equipment, comprising two (later five) 
 six-mule baggage wagons, five tents, five saddle horses, and a detail of a 
 sergeant and three soldiers to look after our comfort and belongings, one 
 of them serving as cook. 
 
 The previous year the survey of the Northern Pacific Railroad route was 
 seriously impeded in the Yellowstone region by hostile Indians. Hence a 
 heavy military escort was this year provided for the protection of the engi- 
 neer corps. The present escort comprised 1400 troops and 400 civilian 
 employees, accompanied by a train of 300 wagons, each drawn by six mules, 
 and 1200 beeves on the foot to furnish fresh beef en route. The escort 
 comprised the famous Seventh Cavalry, with Gen. George A. Custer in 
 command, and parts of the Eighth and Twenty -second Infantry, and a 
 company of Indian scouts. 
 
 The military escort broke camp at Fort Rice on June 20, following the 
 engineers who had taken the field some ten days before. Our course was 
 nearly due west, and the first objective point was the Great Bend of Heart 
 River; a later landmark was the crossing of Big Muddy Creek, where we

 were detained several days by heavy rains and high water. The Big 
 Muddy was finally crossed on a pontoon bridge, constructed of wagon 
 bodies filled with empty water casks. It required the greater part of two 
 days to make the crossing after the construction of the bridge. We reached 
 the Little Missouri July 11, via the Bad Lands and Davis Creek. The 
 descent of the latter was a tedious day's march of twelve hours, to gain the 
 same number of miles on our course. The stream was tortuous and the 
 valley narrow, so that it was necessary to build ten corduroy bridges in a 
 distance of eight miles. The infantry was deployed in single file in the 
 bluffs on each side of the creek, to prevent a surprise attack by Indians. 
 The ford of the Little Missouri was over a treacherous bottom, and before 
 attempting it with the wagon train it was found necessary to consolidate 
 the quicksands by treading with the cavalry and the herd of beeves. It 
 was also necessary for the pioneers to construct a roadway up the gorge on 
 the west side hi order to reach the plateau on the western side of the river. 
 
 The Yellowstone River was reached July 15, and the crossing made a 
 few days later by means of the steamboat 'Josephine/ which met us here 
 for the purpose of ferrying the expedition across. We remained in camp 
 near this point for two weeks, waiting for the engineers to connect their 
 preliminary line with their work of the previous year. A stockade was 
 built here and named Camp Thome, at which a large quantity of supplies 
 was left, with a strong guard of troops, including two squadrons of cavalry 
 and two companies of infantry. The site of Camp Thorne is now the 
 town of Glendive. The distance from Fort Rice to Camp Thorne was 310 
 miles. 
 
 On July 28 we began our march up the west side of the Yellowstone. 
 Owing to the bad lands bordering the river our line of travel was some 
 distance to the westward, and very devious, it being necessary at times to 
 make long detours in order to get around deep ravines, a long, hard day's 
 march of ten or twelve hours resulting in some instances in a gain of not 
 more than two or three miles on our course. We passed the mouth of 
 Powder River July 30, the mouth of Tongue River August 4, the mouth of 
 the Rosebud August 7, the mouth of the Big Horn August 12, reaching 
 Pompey's Pillar about 8 A. M. August 15, 190 miles above Camp Thorne. 
 This was the end of our reconnaissance on the Yellowstone, the line above 
 Pompey's Pillar having been surveyed the previous year. On the 17th of 
 August we turned west toward the Musselshell River, which we struck at a 
 point 50 miles northwest from Pompey's Pillar on the 19th. This point 
 marked the end of the outward journey. 
 
 The next day we crossed to the left bank of the Musselshell and followed 
 down this river, to the Big Bend of the Musselshell, which we reached
 
 30 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 August 27. We then struck across to the Yellowstone along the divide 
 between Big Porcupine and Little Porcupine Creeks, reaching the Yellow- 
 stone River at the mouth of the Little Porcupine, a little above the mouth 
 of Tongue River. Here we struck our outward trail, which we retraced to 
 Camp Thome, where we arrived September 7, and later, over the same trail 
 proceeded to Fort Rice, our starting-point. 
 
 The daily routine of the march was usually as follows: Reveille at 
 3 A. M.; breakfast at 3.30; tents struck at 5; marching at 5.30; with 
 variations to earlier or later according to special exigencies. The head of 
 the column usually made camp at from 12.30 to 3 P. M. ; when delayed by 
 bridging streams or road-making, camping was delayed till 4.30 or later 
 once till 6.40 and once till 7.30, after a day's march of ten, twelve, or even 
 fourteen hours. The daily distance ranged from eight to twenty miles, 
 according to the amount of delay incident to bad roads. 
 
 Field observations and collecting were usually restricted to the line of 
 march, and the preparation of specimens to the daylight hours in camp. 
 The weeks spent in camp at Fort Rice and Camp Thome, and the delays at 
 the crossing of the Big Muddy, the Little Missouri, and at a few other points, 
 were utilized to the utmost by Mr. Bennett and myself for the increase of 
 our collections. But parts of the journey were less favorable, owing to 
 Indian trouble. Indians were first seen watching us from neighboring 
 bluffs near the mouth of Powder River; they soon became bolder and were 
 seen daily, when orders were given forbidding straying from the line of 
 march, or the use of firearms without permission from the commanding 
 officer. This compelled us to abandon bird collecting and side excursions 
 for several weeks. The first attack upon the Expedition by the Indians 
 was an attempt by them to ambush the advance guard of cavalry, while 
 resting at midday some miles in advance of the main column, about twenty 
 miles above Tongue River. Here General Custer, with seventy men, had 
 a four hour battle with about 300 Indians on August 3, finally charging 
 and dispersing them. But while the battle was in progress a part of the 
 hostile band, hovering along the left flank of our main command, suc- 
 ceeded in killing several of our stragglers, including the veterinary surgeon, 
 the sutler, and a cavalryman. During the fight General Custer had one 
 private wounded and several horses killed and others wounded. The 
 extent of the casualties of the Indians was not ascertained, but at least 
 two were killed and several wounded. Two days later an Indian alarm 
 caused General Stanley to halt and park the train, in preparation for an 
 attack, but the precaution proved to have been unnecessary. Indians were 
 seen, however, in the bluffs on the east bank of the river, and a few shots 
 were fired at them from our six-pounders, which effectively dispersed them.
 
 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 31 
 
 On the 8th General Custer received orders to advance and chastise the 
 Indians, whose hastily abandoned camps we had been passing for several 
 days, as village after village joined the main band. He set out at 8 P. M., 
 with 450 cavalrymen and our Indian scouts, and by a forced march over- 
 took them about daylight on the morning of the llth near Pompey's Pillar. 
 The Indians were on the east bank of the river, but at once proceeded to 
 cross and, 500 strong, opened an attack upon him from all sides. The fight- 
 ing for a time was very sharp, but finally the cavalry were ordered to charge, 
 and the Indians soon scattered in every direction. Custer had three men 
 killed, including his orderly, and Lieut. Brayden was severely wounded in 
 the thigh. For the next twelve hours our camp presented a decidedly 
 warlike aspect, with our battery mounted for action and five companies of 
 the 22d Infantry doing picket duty. An attack seemed probable, but our 
 foes evidently decided we were too well prepared, and slowly retired. 
 
 These incidents gave proof that our heavy military escort was not a 
 needless demonstration. It was only three years later, and about sixty 
 miles south of Pompey's Pillar, on the Little Big Horn, that General Custer 
 and his whole command were massacred in a fight with this same band of 
 Sioux Indians. 
 
 The opportunities for natural history collecting and field research on 
 this expedition were far from ideal, but we did not return empty handed 
 nor without well-filled notebooks. Very little of the large area traversed 
 had previously been visited by a naturalist, and was still unrepresented by 
 specimens in the National Museum. Much valuable information was 
 gathered respecting the general character of the country and its biology, a 
 portion of which was promptly published. 1 Besides the birds, their nests 
 and eggs, and mammals, small collections of reptiles, fishes, insects and 
 plants were made, and also of invertebrate fossils, which were everywhere 
 scarce. The badlands were searched at every opportunity for vertebrate 
 remains, but always, to our great disappointment, in vain. Mr. Konopicky, 
 the artist, made colored drawings from life of the few fishes obtained, and 
 many excellent sketches of geological exposures and striking topographic 
 features in the bad lands. The photographer also secured many char- 
 acteristic views of the country traversed. To me it was an experience of 
 great value from the naturalist's point of view, and one I have never ceased 
 to recall with much pleasure for its personal associations and its dash of

 Special Collaborator, U. S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Terri- 
 tories (1876-1882}. 
 
 From 1874 to 1882 I gave much the larger part of my time to original 
 research, the results of which appeared in numerous minor papers ard in 
 several monographs. The first of the latter was 'The American Bisons, 
 Living and Extinct,' published in 1876, under the joint auspices of the 
 Museum of Comparative Zoology and the Geological Survey of Kentucky 
 (N. S. Shaler, Geologist-in-Charge). In 1876, with the approval of the 
 director of the Agassiz Museum, I divided my time between this institution 
 and the United States Geological and Geographical Survey, of which for the 
 following six years I was a " special collaborator." At the end of this period 
 the United States Geological Survey was reorganized and the scope of its 
 work greatly restricted. Also my health became so seriously impaired 
 that I was obliged to suspend almost entirely my research work for a con- 
 siderable period (as explained later in this narrative). 
 
 My work for the Geological Survey comprised a number of minor papers 
 published in the 'Bulletin' of the Survey and monographs of various 
 families of North American rodents, in cooperation with the late Dr. Elliott 
 Coues, published in 1877 as 'Monographs of North American Rodentia,' 
 forming volume XI of the 'Memoirs' of the Survey. In 1880 was pub- 
 lished my 'History of North American Pinnipeds, a Monograph of the 
 Walruses, Sea-Lions, Sea-Bears and Seals of North America,' as No. 12 
 of the 'Miscellaneous Publications' of the Survey (8vo, pp. xvi + 785, 
 60 text figures). This was to have been followed by a volume of the 'Me- 
 moir' series on the North American species of the mammalian orders Cete 
 and Sirenia. To this undertaking I had devoted about three years of 
 intense application, and when overtaken by illness had written a large part 
 of the text, and most of the plates had been lithographed. The only parts 
 ever published were a portion (about one-third) of the bibliography, 1 and 
 the account (with reduced half-tone copies of the plates) of the Atlantic 
 Right Whale, 2 more than a quarter of a century after it was written. The 
 printing of the bibliography was left uncompleted in consequence of the 
 inability of the author to revise the proofsheets. 
 
 A serious attack of pleurisy interrupted my work in December, 1881.

 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 33 
 
 In March, 1882, my physicians were so dissatisfied with my condition that 
 they strongly urged a change of climate, and 1 was sent to Colorado Springs, 
 ( 'olorado. I went with the fullest confidence that the change of scene and 
 air would soon completely restore my strength, and accordingly took with 
 me a collecting outfit for ornithological field work. My good friend William 
 Brcwster, of Cambridge, joined me in a few weeks. I did not regain 
 strength, however, and found myself quite exhausted by a half mile walk. 
 
 During the six weeks Mr. Brewster remained with me, we made many 
 collecting trips, by carriage, to the adjacent canons, forming a considerable 
 collection of bird skins and acquiring much greatly valued information 
 regarding the spring migration of birds at Colorado Springs. When he 
 returned, two months later, to the East I was in worse condition than when 
 I left home, and was compelled to spend the summer at a neighboring 
 ranch in the foothills of the Rockies, thoroughly mystified at my lack of 
 recuperative power, for the organic trouble that led to my being sent to 
 Colorado had quite disappeared. 
 
 On returning to Cambridge in September I learned that my invalidism 
 was due to nervous breakdown. Recovery was exceedingly slow; after a 
 few months I regained strength for part time work at the Museum, and for 
 a small amount of literary work, slowly increasing it, month by month, but 
 for years afterward my physical condition was a serious handicap. 
 
 Early in 1885, the financial resources of the Cambridge Museum be- 
 came much reduced, leading to the discharge of several of the assistants 
 and the prospective dismissal of others, including myself. Through the 
 kindness of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, three alternatives were open to me 
 to remain at the Museum at the risk of its being soon closed; to accept a 
 position open to me on the United States Geological Survey; or to accept 
 a curatorship offered me by the American Museum of Natural History 
 in New York. For family reasons (I had a motherless three-year-old boy 
 whom it was necessary to leave with friends in Massachusetts), field work 
 with the Geological Survey did not appeal to me, and led to my accept- 
 ance of the New York curatorship, which I have ever since felt was a wise 
 decision. 
 
 CURATOR AT AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY (SINCE 1885). 
 
 On May 1, 1885, I entered upon my duties as curator of the 'Depart- 
 ment of Ornithology and Mammalogy' at the American Museum of Natural 
 History in New York. The collection of mammals then consisted of about 
 1000 mounted skins and 300 mounted skeletons, all on exhibition in the
 
 34 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 exhibition halls. There was not even a nucleus of a study collection. The 
 collection of birds numbered about 10,000 mounted skins and several 
 hundred mounted skeletons, all on exhibition, and about 3000 unmounted 
 skins, forming the beginning of a study collection. 
 
 The exhibition collections were rich and varied, the specimens having 
 been selected with excellent discrimination, mainly by the late Dr. D. G. 
 Elliot, and included the famous Maximilian collection of mammals and 
 birds. The exhibition collections of this department thus compared 
 favorably with the best in this country. The North American collection 
 of birds was essentially complete, nearly every procurable species being 
 represented, and the specimens were all correctly determined and neatly 
 labeled. 1 But no part of either collection had been catalogued, except the 
 European birds, which had recently been carefully registered by Dr. Edgar 
 A. Mearns. In the case of the exotic species, of both mammals and birds, 
 the labels bore the names under which they were originally purchased, and 
 hence, w r hile in most cases correctly identified, the technical nomenclature 
 was antiquated. 
 
 The first task was therefore to catalogue the collections, thus securing a 
 permanent record of their history. 2 Fortunately, the original labels had 
 in most cases been preserved by pasting or tacking them to the bottom of 
 the stands. The next step was to renew the labels, in a uniform style, 
 giving the currently accepted technical names of the specimens, with their 
 localities, in conspicuous type. 
 
 At the end of the first year the mammals had been catalogued and 
 relabeled. At the end of the third year most of the birds had been cata- 
 logued and provided in large part with new labels. 
 
 In the curator's first annual report, 3 on the condition and extent of the 
 collections, the importance of fine exhibition collections was not only fully 
 recognized, but the formation of adequate study collections, to serve as the 
 basis for scientific research, was strenuously insisted upon in order to bring 
 the department to a proper standard of efficiency. As often as oppor- 
 tunity arose for securing such material, urgent appeals were made to the 
 
 i The determination was made by Robert Ridgway of the U. S. National Museum shortly before 
 the collection came under my care. 
 
 5 "The museum assistant in charge of a special department must naturally, if the purpose for 
 which large collections are brought together is carried out, spend the greater part of his time in pre- 
 paring them for the specialist who is at some future tune to avail himself of the treasures brought 
 together for his benefit. There is, therefore, the same danger that an eminent specialist, after his 
 appointment to the curatorship of a great museum, will find his museum duties so arduous as to prevent 
 him, as his colleague in the professional chair has been prevented, by official work, from doing original 
 work." A. Agassiz, in the Ann. Report of the Curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at 
 Harvard College for 1883-84, p. 7.

 President for their purchase, for the first two years usually without avail, 
 owing to the lack of funds. 1 
 
 The year 1887, however, proved to be epochal in the history of the 
 department, not only through the addition of scientific material but in 
 other lines of development. It was in this year that the Trustees pur- 
 chased the George X. Lawrence collection of birds, a strictly research 
 collection of immense historic importance, numbering some 12,000 speci- 
 mens of (mainly) tropical American birds; and also the Herbert H. Smith 
 collection of 4000 birds from southern Brazil. The D. G. Elliot collection 
 of 2000 humming birds (including many types) was presented by Mr. 
 Elliot, and a collection of about 2250 Arizona birds was presented by Dr. 
 Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. A. Further accession, comprising some 500 North 
 American birds, were also added, partly by purchase and partly through 
 the Elliot-Richardson Expedition to Montana (noteworthy as the first 
 Museum expedition from this department), making the grand total of 
 21,000 birds added in this notable year, besides a large number of nests 
 and eggs and some osteological material. The previous year a taxidermist, 
 Mr. Jenness Richardson, had been added to the personnel of the depart- 
 ment, through which means 18 bird groups were added to the exhibition 
 collection, these forming the beginning of the Museum's magnificent series 
 of 'Habitat Groups.' 
 
 During this year the efficiency of the department was further greatly 
 enhanced by the purchase of the D. G. Elliot ornithological library, con- 
 sisting of about 1000 carefully selected volumes, thus providing the Mu- 
 seum with an ornithological library surpassed by few similar libraries in 
 this country. A large number of moth-proof tin cans were also provided 
 for the safe storage of the rapidly increasing research collections. 
 
 The reception and care of these large accessions naturally checked 
 progress in cataloging and labeling the exhibition collections, but the bird 
 collection as a whole had suddenly been transformed from merely a show 
 collection to one of impressive scientific importance. 
 
 Thus far the curator had had to depend upon his own efforts in catalog- 
 ing, labeling, and caring for the collections, except for a little aid now and 
 then from interested volunteer assistants; but in 1888, Mr. Frank M. Chap- 
 
 1 From the Treasurer's Report for the year 1885, it appears that the contribution by the City 
 toward maintenance was $15,000, and that the income from invested funds was $300. The rest of the 
 $30,509 expended for running expenses was met by personal contributions of the Trustees. The addi- 
 tional $6,054 expended for collections and for books for the library came also from private sources. 
 
 It is of interest to compare, in this connection, the income and expenditures in 1915 with those of 
 1885, as indicative of the growth of the Museum in resources during the thirty-year interval. The 
 financial statement for 1915, as given in the Forty-seventh Annual Report of the Trustees, shows the 
 contribution from the City to have been $200,000, leaving a deficit of $38,500 to be met by personal 
 contributions of the Trustees. The net receipts from endowment are given as $265,27.5.16.

 man was secured as a permanent assistant, to whom twenty years later 
 (in 1907) was assigned the curatorship of ornithology. He proved from the 
 first an enthusiastic and efficient helper, at all times in fullest sympathy 
 with the policies and work of the department. His various expeditions to 
 Florida, Trinidad, Cuba, and Mexico in the earlier years of his connection 
 with the Museum added important accessions to the research collections 
 of mammals and birds, and later he took in hand the construction of the 
 Habitat Groups of birds, which soon became an impressive feature of the 
 Museum exhibits. This has been followed in recent years by his well 
 known series of expeditions to South America, in the interests of this de- 
 partment. 
 
 In 1887, on the death of Dr. J. B. Holder, who for many years had been 
 curator of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Fishes and Reptiles, 
 this department was also placed in my charge, 1 and the collections of fishes 
 and reptiles remained in my care till 1901. 
 
 Following the bounteous year 1887, were a number of lean years, as 
 regards accessions to the collections; there was, however, a slow but steady 
 increase of material from both North and South America, and in later 
 years also important additions from Asia and Africa. These accessions 
 afforded not only material for exhibition but for scientific research, the 
 results of which were published in the Museum 'Bulletin.' With the 
 gradual increase of the collections the scientific staff of the Department also 
 increased, from a single assistant in 1888 to six assistants in 1915, besides 
 stenographic and other non-staff office assistants and four field assistants. 
 
 As previously noted, Assistant Curator Chapman was placed in charge 
 of the ornithological division of the department in 1907, with \V. De\V. 
 Miller as assistant; Roy C. Andrews became assistant in the mammalogical 
 division in 1908, and assistant curator in 1911; H. E. Anthony, became 
 
 i In the list of Officers and Committees in the Annual Report for 1S88, the entry for my department 
 reads: "Prof. J. A. Allen, Curator of the Department of Ornithology, Mammalogy. Fishes and Reptiles. 
 Also temporarily in charge of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology." In 1890 the Department of 
 Invertebrate Zoology was transferred to the Department of Geology, Mineralogy and Conchology 
 (Prof. R. P. Whitfield, curator), and the name of my department changed to "Department of Mam- 
 malogy, Ornithology, Herpetology, and Ichthyology." In 1898 it was renamed "Department of 
 Vertebrate Zoology," and this was its official designation till 1901, when Fishes and Reptiles were 
 assigned elsewhere and it became " Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology," the designation it 
 has since retained. 
 
 There having been, during these years, no available exhibition space for the fishes and reptiles, 
 I was responsible merely for their safe storage. I catalogued, however, the accessions of reptiles and 
 batrachians, in which classes I had formerly taken much interest, and of which for a time I was curator 
 at the Boston Society of Natural History. 
 
 A department of taxidermy was established, as stated above, early in 1886, and, with a chief 
 taxidermist and a staff of several assistants, remained an adjunct of the Department of Mammals and 
 Birds till 1903, when it was separated as a distinct department and broadened to cover a much wider 
 lield than mammals and birds.

 assistant in the same division in 1914. In 1915 Herbert Lang and James 
 P. Chapin, on their return from the American Museum Congo Expedition, 
 were made, respectively, assistants in mammalogy and ornithology. 
 
 Thus the curator was gradually relieved of much routine work and able 
 to devote his time mainly to research and to the editorial supervision of the 
 Museum 'Bulletin' and the zoological portion of the 'Memoirs.' 
 
 "While these pages are not intended to comprise a detailed history of the 
 department, it seems desirable to mention here some of the larger incre- 
 ments of the collection, on account of their bearing upon my later scientific 
 work. One of the primary duties of a curator and his scientific staff is the 
 identification of accessions and the prompt publication of the results of 
 their elaboration, in the interest not only of science but of the institution 
 with which they are connected. This obligation gives direction to their 
 scientific activities, forcing them from general to more special lines. In this 
 way their researches are in a measure restricted within certain boundaries. 
 
 As already noted, in 1885 there was not even the beginning of a research 
 collection in mammalogy; in 1915 the unmounted mammals exceeded 
 40,000 specimens, and included a fair amount of osteological material and 
 spirit specimens in addition to skins and skulls; while the old mounted 
 specimens had been supplemented, and to a large extent superseded, by 
 elaborate group exhibits, illustrating the life histories of many prominent 
 types of North American and exotic mammals. During recent years this 
 work and the installation of a synoptic mammal collection has been under 
 the direct supervision of Director Lucas and Assistant Curator Andrews. 
 
 The bird collection in 1885 included a small number of skins, mostly 
 North American, in addition to the 10,000 mounted specimens on exhibition; 
 in 1915 it comprised not only the most extensive and elaborate series of 
 'Habitat Groups' in any museum in the world, but more than 130,000 
 study skins. Further available as research material was the collection of 
 Dr. Jonathan Dwight, of chiefly North American birds, numbering 45,000 
 specimens; Dr. L. C. Sanford's collection of North American water birds, 
 numbering about 8000 specimens; and the Brewster-Sanford collection 
 of about 6000 specimens, mostly seabirds in large series from the South 
 Atlantic and South Pacific oceans and the southern coasts of South America. 
 Thus the American Museum in 1915 contained a total of about 190,000 
 birds available for scientific research, exclusive of mounted birds and groups. 
 Collectively they doubtless formed the largest and by far the most valuable 
 collection of American birds yet assembled in any single museum. 
 
 The first notable accessions of birds were received, as already related, 
 in 1887, and comprised two important authoritative and historic collections, 
 the Lawrence collection of American birds (largely from tropical America 
 
 20687O

 and containing nearly all of Lawrence's types), and the Elliot collection of 
 Hummingbirds, at that time one of the largest and most authoritative 
 collections in the world of this numerous and most interesting suborder of 
 birds. In the same year were also received a notable collection of birds 
 from Arizona for the North American study series, and our first freshly 
 collected and wholly unworked collection of exotic birds, the Herbert 
 Smith collection of some 4000 specimens from the Province of Matto Grosso, 
 Brazil. This became the basis of a series of papers by the curator published 
 in the Museum 'Bulletin' in 1889-1892. In 1889 small collections of birds 
 were received from Ecuador and Bolivia, aggregating about 600 specimens 
 (200 species), which formed also the basis of papers in the 'Bulletin.' 
 
 During the years 1890, 1891, 1892, important accessions of mammals 
 and birds were received through purchases of small collections from Mexico 
 and Central America, and collections obtained through Museum expedi- 
 tions to Florida, Texas, Colorado, and Washington, upon which reports 
 were published in the ' Bulletin,' by the curator and the assistant curator. 
 In 1893, and again in 1894, Mr. Chapman made collecting trips to the 
 Island of Trinidad, B. W. I., resulting in the addition of 550 mammals and 
 about 690 birds, which formed the basis of extended papers on the mammal 
 and bird faunas of the island. 
 
 Among later collections may be mentioned the Streator collection of 
 birds and mammals made in British Columbia in 1899; collections of birds 
 and mammals made in Alaska and northern British Columbia by the A. J. 
 Stone expeditions in 1897-1903; the H. H. Smith collections of birds and 
 mammals from the Santa Marta region of Colombia, received in 1898-1901 ; 
 the Peary collections of birds and mammals from Greenland and Ellsmere 
 Land (1898-1909); the collections of Siberian birds and mammals made by 
 N. G. Buxton on the Jesup North Pacific Expedition in 1901; the Batty 
 collections of birds and mammals from Chiriqui and Mexico received in 
 1901-1906; the Nicaragua collections of birds and mammals made by W. 
 B. Richardson in 1907-1908; the E. T. Seton collection of mammals from 
 the Athabasca-Mackenzie region of Canada, 1908; the Tjader East African 
 collection of mammals, 1907; the Rainsford collection of East African 
 mammals in 1913; the Congo collections of birds and mammals, each 
 numbering some 6000 specimens, made by Herbert Lang and James P. 
 Chapin, received in 1915; and the constant inflow of birds and mammals 
 from South America, from 1911 to date, through expeditions directed by 
 Curator Chapman and collected mainly by Leo E. Miller, W. B. Richard- 
 son, and George K. Cherrie; and the birds and mammals collected by 
 Cherrie and Miller on the Roosevelt Brazilian Expedition; also birds and 
 mammals collected by H. E. Anthony in Panama, and in Oregon and 
 Washington. 
 
 The Asiatic material received, in addition to the Buxton Siberian col-

 lection already mentioned, has been mainly collections of mammals from 
 the Island of Hainan, China, received by purchase, 1906-1908, and a few 
 small lots of mammals received from western and northern China (by 
 purchase); and small collections of birds and mammals collected in the 
 Dutch East Indies by Roy C. Andrews in 1909 and in Korea in 1912. 
 Especially should also be mentioned the important collection of cetacean 
 material collected by Mr. Andrews in the North Pacific in 1910-1912. 
 
 This material has all been carefully studied and reported upon .in the 
 'Bulletin' and ' Memoirs ' of the American Museum, except the recently 
 received mammals and birds of the Congo Expedition, and some of the 
 South American collections of birds, the Cetacean material having been the 
 basis of monographs by Mr. Andrews, while Mr. Anthony has published 
 on the mammals collected by him in Panama and Oregon. The other 
 mammal collection have all been reported upon in numerous papers by the 
 writer, including a memoir on Muskoxen, recent and extinct (1913), and a 
 revision of the South American Sciuridse (1915). My last faunal papers on 
 birds were reports on the Smith collection from Santa Marta, Colombia 
 (1900-1904) and the Buxton collection from Siberia (1905). Two papers 
 on the types of the North American genera of birds (1907) are also among 
 my later papers on birds. 
 
 The collections of birds received prior to 1905 have been the basis of 
 several faunal papers by Curator Chapman and Assistant Curator W. DeW. 
 Miller. Chapman has published important preliminary papers on the 
 recently received South American collections of birds, describing many new 
 forms, and has now in press a report on the birds of Colombia, which forms 
 Volume XXXVI of the American Museum ' Bulletin.' It is thus a pleasure 
 to record that the recent field activities of my department of the Museum, 
 so extensive and so varied, have been adequately supplemented by labora- 
 tory research and prompt publication of results. 
 
 AFFILIATIONS WITH THE AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION AND OTHER 
 SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES (SINCE 1883). 
 
 As regards general activities, my interests have been confined within 
 narrow limits, partly from an inborn shrinking from functions that necessi- 
 tate appearance in public positions and partly through lack of the physical 
 endurance to meet such demands. The exception has been my connection 
 with the American Ornithologists' Union, the founding of which was due 
 in part to my instigation, 1 and with whose activities I became from the first 
 
 1 The call for the meeting of ornithologists which led to its organization was issued by Elliott 
 Coues, William Brewster and the writer, in 1883.
 
 40 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
 
 intimately associated. Although unable to attend the meeting of ornitholo- 
 gists at which the Union was founded it happened that I was selected as its 
 first president, and, contrary to my expressed wish, was annually reflected 
 for the following six years. This embraced of course the formative period 
 of the society's history, when its work was planned and carried forward with 
 the energy and enthusiasm that so strongly marked its early activities. 
 Committees were appointed at its first meeting to take in hand various 
 important subjects, as the migration and geographic distribution of North 
 American birds, which investigation was prosecuted so successfully that 
 in a few years it outgrew the financial resources of the society and led to the 
 establishing of a Division of the United States Department of Agriculture to 
 carry on the work, which ultimately became the present Bureau of Biological 
 Survey, for many years under the direction of C. Hart Merriam, the chair- 
 man of this committee of the American Ornithologists' Union. 
 
 Another important committee was at the same time established to 
 prepare a standard Check-List of North American birds, to displace the 
 discordant check-lists then in vogue, with of course undesirable results. 
 To accomplish this it was found necessary at the outset to have as the basis 
 of the list a consistent and carefully prepared code of rules of nomenclature 
 in place of then existing inharmonious codes and go-as-you-please methods 
 of nomenclature. This led to intense research on the part of several mem- 
 bers of the committee, and eventually to the adoption and publication of a 
 new code, departing widely in some important respects from any of its 
 predecessors. This A. O. U. Code later became the basis of the International 
 Code of Zoological Nomenclature, framed on essentially the same lines and 
 departing from it in no essential respect, except in point of brevity, through 
 omission of adequate illustrations of the rules, and thereby rendering 
 necessary the issuance of official ' Opinions ' to clear up obscure points. A 
 draft of the A. O. U. Code was made by two members of its Nomenclature 
 Committee, to serve as a working basis for the Committee, which after 
 long and careful consideration by the full Committee was adopted essen- 
 tially as written, not only as to form and phraseology but also (with the 
 exception of the addition of a single provision, since abandoned) as to its 
 rulings. 1 
 
 The work of the A. O. U. Nomenclature Committee resulted not only 
 in a new check-list of North American birds, standardizing their nomen- 
 clature, but also a new and elaborate Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 
 
 1 It may Iw pardonable in this connection to state that the preliminary draft was written in part 
 l>y Klliott Coues (mainly the part comprising the 'General Principles') and the rest, including the his- 
 torical part of the 'Introduction' and most of the 'Canons" and I heir explanatory ' remarks ', by the 
 author of these 'Notes.'

 which has had vast influence in standardizing the rules of nomenclature 
 the world over. 1 
 
 Still another important A. O. U. Committee had its inception at the 
 first meeting of the Union in 1883, namely, a Committee on the Protection 
 of North American Birds, which carried on the work of bird protection for 
 many years with great energy and very important results. From it origi- 
 nated later the so-called Audubon Societies movement, from which, through 
 the special efforts of one of its enthusiastic members, William Dutcher, 
 was developed the present powerful organization known as the National 
 Association of Audubon Societies. From this committee also emanated 
 the A. O. U. "Model Bird Law," which has been enacted by most of the 
 States in this country and the Provinces of Canada, in the essential phrase- 
 ology of the committee's draft. In this work I shared actively, furnishing 
 in 1886 most of the matter for the ' Bulletins ' of the committee, issued first 
 in 'Science' and afterwards separately reprinted in large editions. 
 
 For many years my interest in the activities and welfare of the American 
 Ornithologists ' Union was absorbing. For seven years I was its president, 
 for twenty-seven years the editor of its journal 'The Auk' and its other 
 publications; and a member of its Committee on the Classification and 
 Nomenclature of North American Birds from 1883 to date. For twenty- 
 eight years I maintained an unbroken record of attendance at its annual 
 congresses and council meetings. 
 
 Before leaving Cambridge I had begun to take a more or less active 
 part in the work of the Boston Society of Natural History, having served 
 as acting secretary and editor of its publications for a number of months, 
 to fill an interim, and for a number of years had been a member of its Council. 
 
 On my arrival in New York I was warmly welcomed by the New York 
 Academy of Sciences, and almost immediately given a place on its Council, 
 and later for several years was a Vice-President ; but I failed to identify 
 myself heartily with its interests, due in part to limitations imposed by 
 impaired health. 
 
 My affiliation with the Linnaean Society of New York was more intimate, 
 and the office of president for a number of years never proved very strenuous, 
 as the attendance was usually small and the meetings more or less informal 
 and semisocial. 
 
 A r<> vised edition of the A. O. U. Code was published in 1910, in which the article adopted by the 
 InirriKitional Congress in 1909, newly defining the method for the determination of types of genera, 
 ua< substituted for the correspond ing matter in the original A. O. U. Code. 
 
 The editing and carrying through the press of the three editions of the Check-List and of fifteen 
 (if its sixteen supplements, and also the original and the revised editions of the Code, was a labor of 
 love for the author of these 'Notes.' 
 
 Elliott Coues was chairman of the Nomenclature Committee from its inception in 1883 till his death 
 in 1S99. He was succeeded by C. Hart Merriam, who held this position till 1904, when he was suc-

 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND HOME LIFE (SINCE 1874). 
 
 As a fact of possibly some psychological interest I may here briefly revert 
 to a handicap with which probably few called to public functions have had, 
 at least in equal degree, to contend. From early boyhood I was painfully 
 embarrassed in the presence of strangers. Later in life attempts to present 
 papers verbally before scientific societies were always unsatisfactory and 
 often failures, not from lack of familiarity with the details of the subject 
 but from embarrassment. The same timidity prohibited my seriously 
 considering teaching as a possible means of raising funds to aid in meeting 
 the expenses of an education, or of giving public lectures for the same pur- 
 pose, as many of my associates at the Agassiz Museum were doing, with 
 both pleasure and profit. The ordeal of an examination for a degree at the 
 Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard was sufficient to banish all aspiration 
 for such honors. This in part, perhaps, led to a feeling of disrespect for 
 this sort of a label, and to the belief that any worthy accomplishment 
 would, sooner or later, receive due recognition. My wants were simple and 
 inexpensive; all I aspired to was opportunity for scientific research, believ- 
 ing that diligence, singleness of purpose, and honest work would bring its 
 own reward. I was content to follow my own lines of dominating interest 
 to such limit as the circumstances of earning a living would permit. I never 
 had any desire for money as such, nor any interest whatever in financial 
 projects, nor any longing for honors beyond those my colleagues in science 
 saw fit to impose. Therefore my election, in the course of time, to all of 
 the leading academies of science in this country, and to honorary member- 
 ship in foreign societies with which my lines of study were affiliated, have 
 always come as exceedingly pleasant surprises. The greatest surprise of 
 all, however, was the reception of a Ph.D. from Indiana University in 1886, 
 the first intimation of which was the receipt from its president, David Starr 
 Jordan, of the official notification that I had been thus honored. 
 
 In looking back to the beginning, it is difficult not to contrast my early 
 surroundings with those of the average youth of today smitten with the 
 nature study 'craze.' As stated in the early part of these notes, I was 
 wholly isolated from everyone having even the slightest biologic interest, 
 with only the inspirations and opportunities afforded by the little red 
 schoolhouse on the hill, in the fifties of the last century, in a neighborhood 
 of small farmers to whom the raising of potatoes and grain was the chief 
 aim of life. My studies were not only selfchosen, but were carried on in 
 odd hours without either advice or encouragement, in contrast with the 
 systematised training of today, from the primary school to the post graduate

 course. My first systematic guidance was received at the Agassiz Museum 
 in 1862; to the personality and influence of the 'Great Teacher,' Louis 
 AGASSIZ, I can never adequately express my indebtedness. 
 
 I cannot close these 'Notes' without reference to the most important of 
 the influences that have most happily and most strongly affected my career. 
 
 In 1874 it was my good fortune to have won the love of Mary Manning 
 Cleveland, of Cambridge, Mass., daughter of the late Dr. Anthony Benezet 
 Cleveland and Mary (Manning) Cleveland, sister of the late Professor 
 William C. Cleveland of Cornell University and of Dr. Clement Cleveland, 
 an eminent surgeon of New York. We were married October 6, 1874. 
 She died April 17, 1879, leaving a son, . Cleveland Allen, ten months old, 
 now in business in New York. Never could marital affection nor mutual 
 interest and sympathy be stronger than was our lot to enjoy. When the 
 end came there seemed little worth while in life. 
 
 After seven years I had the equally good fortune to make the acquaint- 
 ance of Susan Augusta Taft, daughter of the late Daniel and Emeline 
 (Smith) Taft, of Cornwall-on-Hudson, N. Y. We were married April 27, 
 1886, and have enjoyed thirty-one years of happiness, unalloyed except by 
 her several acute but temporary illnesses, when again the light of life 
 seemed vanishing. My own health during this long period having been 
 by no means strong, I owe to her deep love and sympathy, to her supreme 
 optimism and constant watchfulness over my health, and to her inspiration, 
 the greater part of the little I may have achieved in these last thirty years, 
 and doubtless many years of activity beyond those I otherwise should have 
 attained.

 1 A course of twelve lectures was planned but, if I remember rightly, only four or five were de- 
 livered. As they were intended to treat the subject seriously they were naturally technical rather than 
 popular,' and the audience soon dwindled to a few students actually interested in the subject. While 
 read from manuscript, they were elaborately illustrated by specimens with extemporized explanations, 
 particularly as respects the osteology and pterylography of the subject. In my inexperience in such 
 matters, an average attendance of half-a-dozen auditors seemed farcical, and I counted myself a failure 
 as a lecturer and did not complete the course. On looking over the manuscript and the schedule of the 
 course in later years I have felt chagrin that it was not completed, as the attendance was as large as 
 should have been expected at a course so specialized in character. The following is the schedule of the 
 course: 1. The distinctive characteristics of birds in comparison with other vertebrates; birds as a 
 modification of the vertebrate type for aerial locomotion; the osteology of birds. II. The muscular 
 and nervous systems and the organs of sense. III. The digestive, circulatory and respiratory systems 
 and vocal organs. IV. Reproductive organs and embryological development. V and VI. The 
 tegumentary system, including the development of feathers, their arrangement, structure, modifications 
 and functions. VII. Historical summary of the principal systems of classification. VIII, IX, and X. 
 The classification of birds, with a general review of the leading groups. XI and XII. Geographical 
 distribution of animals, with special reference to birds; geographical variation in birds. 
 
 In short, the lectures were planned to form a compendium of bird-lore, and had they been com- 
 pleted and published, with proper illustrations, they would have furnished in concise form a useful 
 reference work for the bird student, the need for which was not supplied, even in part, till 1884, when 
 Coues's 'General Ornithology* was added to the second edition of hi* invaluable ' Koy to North Ameri- 
 can Birds.'

 BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
 
 THIS Bibliography does not include hundreds of minor reviews, particu- 
 larly of ornithological papers published in the 'Bulletin' of the Nuttall 
 Ornithological Club and ' The Auk/ * nor many of the unsigned editorial 
 paragraphs in the 'Notes and News' department of the same journals, all 
 of which, unless signed, are by the editor. It does, however, include the 
 unsigned biographical notices, which, unless otherwise indicated, are by 
 the editor. In the case of reviews, those omitted are usually brief an- 
 nouncements of technical papers, noting little beyond the fact of their 
 publication and general import, or works or papers of a more or less 
 popular character, hardly entitled to consideration as serious contributions 
 to science. 
 
 The titles are arranged in nine sections: (1) Mammals, about 270 
 titles; (2) Birds, about 965 titles; (3) Reptiles, 5 titles; (4) Zoogeography, 
 9 titles; (5) Evolution, 22 titles; (6) Nomenclature, 27 titles; (7) Biography, 
 118 titles; (8) Miscellaneous, a few titles each on botanical, geological, and 
 other subjects; (9) Editorial Work. 
 
 In the case of papers of a mixed character, like that on 'Mammals and 
 Winter Birds of East Florida,' where four special subjects are formally 
 treated under the same general title, or in the case of faunal papers which 
 include mammals and birds, and in one case also reptiles and plants, titles 
 are repeated under each section to which they in part formally relate; 
 beyond these few special cases titles are not repeated under the different 
 sectional headings, although subjects additional to that indicated by the 
 title may be incidentally discussed, as in some reviews and faunal papers. 
 
 i Volumes I-XXVIII. My editorial connection with 'The Auk' closed with the issue for 
 January, 1912, Volume XXXIX. 
 
 The general indexes to these two journals contain about 1400 entries under my name, of which 
 about 1250 are indicated as reviews. Of this number less than 700 are included in this bibliography.

 Relates exclusively to the fissiped Carnivora. 
 
 "In a general way, the correlation of size with geographical distribution may be fonnu- 
 lated in the following propositions: 
 
 " (1) The maximum physical development of the individual is attained where the condition* 
 of environment are most favorable to the life of the species. Species being primarily limited in 
 their distribution by climatic conditions, their representatives living at or near either of their 
 respective latitudinal boundaries are more or less unfavorably affected by the influences that 
 finally limit the range of the species 
 
 " (2) The largest species of a group (genus, subfamily, or family, as the case may be) are 
 found where the group to which they severally belong reaches its highest development, or where it 
 has what may be termed its center of distribution. In other words, species of a given group 
 attain their maximum size where the conditions of existence for the group in question are the 
 most favorable, just as the largest representatives of a species are found where the conditions 
 are most favorable for the existence of the species. 
 
 " (3) The most 'typical' or most generalized representatives of a group are found also near 
 its center of distribution, outlying forms being generally more or less 'aberrant' or specialized 
 Thus the Cervida;, though nearly cosmopolitan in their distribution, attain their greatest 
 development, both as respects the size and the number of the species, in the temperate 
 portions of the northern hemisphere. The tropical species of this group are the smallest of 
 its representatives. Those of the temperate and cold temperate regions are the largest, 
 where, too, the species are the most numerous. . . .The possession of large, branching, de- 
 ciduous antlers forms one of the marked features of the family. These appendages attain 
 their greatest development in the northern species, the tropical forms having them reduced 
 almost to mere spikes, which in some species never pass beyond a rudimentary state...."

 Various names in the * Geschichte' (1780) were previously employed in the ' Geographic* ' 
 (1777) and thus take an earlier date; others antedate Erxleben (1777) to whom they are 
 usually accredited. Dama virginiana Zimm., 1777, is considered tenable for the common 
 Virginia Deer. Dama lichtensleini (p. 20) is a new name for Cervus mexicanus Lichtenstein.

 specific name of the Southern Sea Lion is shown to be byronia Blainville (1820); the generic 
 name of the northern Fur Seals is shown to bs Callotaria Palmer, 1892, not Oloes Palmer,

 Under the mistaken impression that Alee properly dated from Frisch (1775), thus ante-

 Frisch's work in which Alee was proposed is not to be accepted as nomenclaturally authori- 
 tative.

 newspaper (monthly), large 8vo, for Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec., 1861, January, 
 March, May, June, July, Sept., Nov., Dec., 1862, and Jan., 1863. 
 
 "Twenty-five articles in all, taking the birds of New England in order from Accipitres 
 to the middle of the Fringillidse. Popular biographical accounts, written to interest farmers 
 in the feathered life of their fields." (Coues, 'Bibliography of North American Orni- 
 thology,' in 'Birds of the Colorado Valley,' 1878, p. 661.) 
 
 1864. 
 
 2. Catalogue of the Birds found at Springfield, Mass., with Notes on their Migra- 
 
 tions, Habits, etc. ; together with a List of those Birds found in the State not 
 yet observed at Springfield. <Proc. Essex Inst., IV, art. iv, pp. 48-98, August, 
 1864. 
 
 " 195 spp. at Springfield; 296 in Massachusetts, of which 131 breed, 28 are resident, 
 67 winter visitors, 75 migrants, 106 summer visitors, 35 stragglers." (Coues, 1. c., p. 
 
 667.) 
 
 1865. 
 
 3. Notes on the Habits and Distribution of the Duck Hawk, or American Peregrine 
 
 Falcon (Falco peregrinus), in the Breeding Season, and Description of the 
 Eggs [from Mt. Tom, Mass.]. <Proi. Essex Inst., IV, (for 1864) 1865, art. x, 
 pp. 153-161. (Communicated Nov. 14, 1864.) 
 
 1867. 
 
 4. Winter Notes of an Ornithologist. <Amer. Nat., I, pp. 38-48, March, 1867. 
 
 Relates to the winter birds of Massachusetts 55 to 60 spp., consisting mainly of per- 
 manent residents and visitors from the North. Comment on their manner of occurrence 
 and relative abundance. 
 
 5. The Birds of Spring. <Amer. Nat., I, pp. 141-144, May, 1867. 
 
 Relates mainly to New England 280 species there at the season named; contains a 
 tabular summary. 
 
 6. Ornithological Calendars [for March, April, and May]. <Amer. Nat., I, p. 54

 at Richmond, Wayne Co., Indiana, between June third and tenth. <Mem. 
 Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., I, pt. iv, art. xiii, pp. 488-526, Dec., 1868 (read June, 
 1868). 
 
 "Very full: includes some critical commentary on geographical distribution in general, 
 and on relationships of certain disputed species. Iowa, 108spp.; Illinois, a, Ogle Co., 84 spp.; 
 b. Cook Co., 94 spp., with monographic account of certain Turdidse; Indiana, 72; the anno- 
 tations in each case chiefly field-notes. 
 
 '"Range in the breeding-season must form the basis for defining the limits of different 
 ornithological districts. . . .Among migrants of the same species the examples which arrive 
 in the spring the earliest are bigger and more brightly tinted than those which come later, 
 and, conversely, on their return the examples last seen are bigger than the summer specimens.' 
 Hence it would appear that the largest individuals are those which go furthest north in 
 summer, and, he also adds, are those which live further north in winter. Some characteristics 
 of the ornithological provinces of North America are next briefly mentioned; and then 
 follow the lists of species observed, as stated in the title. In Iowa about 108 or 1 10 species 
 were seen, of which at least 100 breed in the State. For Illinois two lists are given, one of 
 84 species in Ogle County, the other of 94 species in Cook County. At Richmond 72 
 species were observed by himself and Dr. Haymond. Some critical notes on supposed

 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.,

 No. 47, Feb. 23, 1878. (Anonymous.) 
 
 "The inside history of this article is: Some time about January, 1878, Dr. Brewer was 
 in my office in Washington, where some words on the subject grew a little heated toward the 
 close of the interview, when I proposed that it would be well to ask the Nuttall Club to take 
 up and sift the matter, that we might get at the facts, if possible. The reply was compli- 
 mentary neither to the sincerity of my proposition nor to the ornithological ability of the 
 Club, of which he was a member. I soon afterward addressed to the Club a communication 
 inviting their attention to the matter, suggesting a full and fair discussion of the subject 
 in open meeting, and representing that the Club was specially well qualified to come to just 
 conclusions, consisting, as it did, of a number of working ornithologists of recognized ability 
 and experience, who were perfectly familiar with the case as presented in Boston, Cambridge, 
 and vicinity. The meeting was soon after held. Notice was sent to the resident members 
 of the proposed consideration of the question, and corresponding members were also invited 
 to take part in the discussion. Dr. Brewer for some reason did not attend the meeting. 
 The report of the meeting, constituting the present article, indicates that Mr. J. A. Allen, 
 Mr. William Brewster, Mr. H. A. Purdie, Mr. H. D. Minot, Mr. Ruthven Deane, and others, 
 participated in the discussion. Mr. Allen's views are not here presented. All the testimony 
 here reported is unfavorable to the Sparrows, but need not be here analyzed, as it is only 
 what every competent and unprejudiced observer knows; it is explicit, emphatic, and irref- 
 ragable, substantiating every count that has been brought against the birds. The article 
 includes an open letter to Dr. Brewer from John Dixwell, M. D., stating that in 39 individuals, 
 taken at the height of the canker-worm pest, no trace of insect food could be found on dis- 
 secting; the publication of which letter gave offence to Dr. Brewer, who considered it an 
 unwarrantable liberty to take with his name. At the close of the discussion a vote was taken 
 on the question of whether or not, in the opinion of those present, the further increase of the 
 house sparrow in this country was desirable. The result was a unanimous negative."

 "This is the full report of the meeting, communicated officially by the Club, occupying 
 nearly two pages (5 columns). It gives much matter additional to that published in the 
 Boston Daily Advertiser, and is especially important in presenting at length views of J. A. 
 Allen, and in including communications from Mr. R. Ridgway and Dr. C. C. Abbott, not 
 given in the Boston report of the proceedings. Allen's carefully considered testimony, 
 though well guarded, is, emphatically and explicitly, against the Sparrows. 'Mr. Allen 
 further stated, that every ornithologist of note throughout the country who has expressed 
 himself upon the subject (and nearly all have done so) has, almost without exception, de- 
 clared against the Sparrows. Not a few of them consider their rapid increase an alarming 
 evil, which will soon call for legislative action to hold it in check.' " Coues, I. c.

 Part V. On the Geographical Distribution of the Birds of Eastern North America, with 
 special reference to the Number and Circumscription of the Ornithological Faunae, pp. 375- 
 425; List of Authorities, pp. 426-450. 
 
 "In accordance with the facts stated above respecting the mode of the distribution of 
 animals and plants over the earth's surface, and the zoological and botanical laws of the 
 differentiation and mutual relations of the different regions, the following primary natural 
 history divisions may be recognized: I, an Arctic Realm; 1 II, a North Temperate Realm; 
 III, an American Tropical Realm; IV, an Indo-African Tropical Realm; V, a South Ameri- 
 can Temperate Realm; VI, an African Temperate Realm; VII, an Antarctic Realm; VIII, 
 an Australian Realm" (p. 380). 
 
 For eastern North America are recognized the following seven fauna;: (1) Floridian, (2) 
 Louisianian, (3) Carolinian, (4) Alleghanian, (5) Canadian, (6) Hudsonian, (7) American 
 Arctic. Their boundaries and their characteristic species of birds are given (pp. 387^04), 
 and they are further considered with reference to mammals and reptiles (pp. 404^106). 
 
 The species of North American birds are considered and tabulated with reference to their 
 geographical ranges (pp. 407-418). General remarks on the distribution and migration of 
 the birds of the Eastern Province (pp. 418-425). A Bibliography of ornithological works and 
 papers, or "List of Authorities," relating to North America occupies pages 426450, geo- 
 graphically arranged by States and countries, and numbering 346 titles much the largest 
 list of papers relating to North American ornithology that appeared prior to 1878.

 Globe, pp. 329-373; III. General Summary, pp. 373-377. 
 
 The primary divisions are essentially as laid down in 1871 (see above), except that a 
 South African Temperate Realm is admitted, and Madagascar is recognized as an additional 
 Realm, designated as the Lemurian Realm. Under these are defined regions of secondary 
 and tertiary rank where such subdivisions seemed to be required.

 1 Divisions 1 and II are essentially the same as Triarctic of Heilprin (1882), renamed Holarctic by 
 Heilprin in 1883, by suggestion of Alfred Newton, and since commonly known as Holarctic by those 
 who reject the Sclaterian system of zoogeographical divisions. Arclogxa of Huxley (1868) is more 
 comprehensive.

 The correlation of size with geographical variation is formulated (p. 310) under the three 
 propositions: 
 
 " (1) Maximum physical development of the individual is attained where the conditions 
 of environment are most favorable to the life of the species. . . . 
 
 Exclusive of numerous incidental references in many general papers and reviews
 
 EVOLUTION. 199 
 
 " (2) The largest species of a group (genus, subfamily, or family, as the case may be) are 
 found where the group to which they severally belong reaches its highest development, or 
 where it has what may be termed its center of distribution 
 
 "(3) The most 'typical' or most generalized representatives of a group are found also 
 near its center of distribution, outlying forms being generally more or less 'aberrant' or 
 specialized. ..."

 "The doctrine of natural selection, or the survival of the fittest, has recently been brought 
 forward as the key to this complex problem, and is upheld by a large class of enthusiastic 
 adherents, who accept it as the full solution of the whole question. By others the conditions 
 of environment are believed to be far more influential in effecting a certain class of modifica- 
 tions, at least, than the necessarily precarious influence of natural selection," etc. 
 
 The direct modifying influence of environment as a factor in evolution is regarded as more 
 potent than natural selection taken in the narrow sense of the "survival of the fittest."

 1 The following biographical records relate almost exclusively to more or less prominent ornitholo- 
 Kists, and were nearly all published in The Auk (1884-1911, inclusive) as editorial notices, without 
 signature. They include not only American ornithologists but all the foreign ornithologists of note 
 who died between the above-given dates. The references given here, it should be noted, include only 
 a part of the formal biographies and obituaries published in The Auk during the period named, since 
 the biographers of all deceased fellows of the A. O. U. are appointed by the President; also those of a 
 'number of the deceased Members and Associates have been prepared at the solicitation of the editor 
 of The Auk, and not by him personally; such notices, of course, are not here included.

 The first number of this publication was issued in April, 1876, under the editorship of 
 Mr. Charles J. Maynard, and under the title Quarterly Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological 
 Club, Cambridge, Mass. With the second number (July, 1876) the title was changed to 
 Bulletin of the Nultall Ornithological Club: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology, with, on the 
 fourth page of the cover, a 'Prospectus,' which states: "The need in this country of a peri- 
 odical exclusively devoted to Ornithology has been long apparent Each number will 
 
 consist of not less than twenty-four pages, to be increased as soon as the receipts from sub- 
 scriptions shall warrant the additional expense. Two more numbers will be issued during 
 the present year, in order that the second volume may begin with January, 1877 Pro- 
 fessor Baird and Dr. Coues have kindly consented to act as Associate Editors. Its chief 
 editorial management will be under the direction of Mr. J. A. Allen of the Museum of Com- 
 parative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass " No. 4 was issued November, 1S76. Volume 1 
 
 consists of pp. i-iv, 1-100, with a colored plate, engraved on steel. 
 
 The volumes, under the same editorial staff, steadily increased hi size to Vol. VII, 1882 
 (pp. i-vi, 1-275). Number 4 of Volume VIII (October, 1883) contained this "Important 
 Notice: The First Series of the Bulletin of the Kultall Ornithological Club closes with the

 The second page of the cover of the first number carries the following: '"The Auk,' 
 published as the Organ of the American Ornithologists' Union, will be conducted as a Maga- 
 zine of General Ornithology. In general character it will differ little from the late 'Bulletin 
 of the Nuttall Ornithological Club,' of which it forms virtually a Second Series. Each num- 
 ber will contain about one hundred pages, and the illustrations will occasionally include colored 
 plates." 
 
 The first volume of 'The Auk' consists of pp. i-vii, 1-419, and 1 colored plate. This is 
 about the average size for the first 19 volumes, the last 7 averaging 500 pages, in each case

 exclusive of front-matter (contents and membership lists), which runs, in different volumes, 
 from 8 to nearly 40 pages. 
 
 In The Auk, as in its predecessor, the Nuttall Bulletin, the department of 'Recent Liteni- 
 ture' was intended to include notices (1) of all ornithological works and papers by American 
 authors; (2) all papers, wherever published, relating especially to North American birds; 
 (3) all of the more important monographs and works treating of special groups of birds or of 
 birds in general. In 1880 was begun a series of pai>ers entitle ' Minor Ornithological Papers,' 
 giving the title, place of publication, and short notices or abstracts of the minor papers 
 relating to North American birds, not otherwise noticed under ' Recent Literature,' subject 
 however to certain stated restrictions as to their content. The record began "with the close 
 of that given by Dr. Coues in his ' List of Faunal Publications relating to North American 
 Ornithology ' published in his ' Birds of the Colorado Valley,' or about July, 1878," and closed 
 in 1894, after having been a feature of 'The Auk' for fourteen years. The last title of the 
 series was No. 2697. Nos. 1-1199 were by the editor, the others (Nos. 1200-2697) by C. 
 F. Batchelder, who from 1888 to 1893 (both inclusive) was Associate Editor of The Auk and 
 greatly lightened for this period the duties of the senior editor. 
 
 The Associate Editors of The Auk for the first four volumes (1884-1887) were Elliott 
 Coues, Robert Ridgway, William Brewster, and Montague Chamberlain. They were 
 succeeded by Charles F. Batchelder (1888-1893) and Frank M. Chapman (1894-1915). 
 
 "Beginning with the initial volume of the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, and 
 continuing to the present year, Dr. Allen has, without intermission guided the course of this 
 journal and its successor THE AUK; and the series of thirty-six volumes stands as a perpetual 
 monument to his ability, and his painstaking devotion to the cause of ornithology and the 
 interests of the American Ornithologists' Union. There have been few continuous editor- 
 ships of equal length in the history of scientific periodicals." Editorial statement by 
 WITMER STONE, Auk, XXIX, p. 136, Jan., 1912.
