 Though the name of the editor does 
 not appear, it is understood that 
 George Bird Grinnell, president pro 
 temore of the Audubon Society, organ- 
 ized February, 1886, had general su- 
 pervision, with Charles F. Emory, gen- 
 eral secretary. Unfortunately this 
 philanthropic movement proved abor- 
 tive, possibly owing to its connection 
 with a paper devoted to the hunting 
 of game. Each number contains an 
 uncolored and reduced plate after Au- 
 dubon. The text includes a number 
 of original articles. Biographies of 
 Audubon and Wilson, the latter by

 very well adapted to the use of the pri-

 birds have little artistic merit, but 
 they are, for the most part identifiable 
 and offered remarkably cheap. A bet- 
 ter grouping or arrangement of sub- 
 ject matter, would have greatly in- 
 creased its usefulness.

 Dr. Coues says in the Salutatory: 
 "With temporary interruption during 
 the late political troubles, the Club has 
 met regularly during a portion of each 
 year since 1856, to devote an evening 
 to the reading of papers, the exhibi- 
 tion of specimens, and the inter- 
 change of opinion. Until recently, the 
 meetings were held at the residences 
 of the members in turn, and the host 
 of one evening became chairman of 
 the next." The ornithological notes,

 Began as a 4 page, 2 column ama- 
 teur local paper, printed one page at 
 the time on a small hand press, with 
 something like 300 subscribers, it was 
 enlarged to 8 pages on November 1, 
 1890, by the addition of a colored cov- 
 er. Beginning with Feb. 1, 1891, (vol. 
 ii, no. 3) "The Notes on Colbert Co. 
 (Alabama) Birds," by F. W. McCor- 
 mack, continued until the final num- 
 ber, Jan. 2, 1892, from 2 to 5 pages to 
 the issue, 67 pages in all, 156 species 
 were enumerated and annotated. 
 Through the courtesy of Mr. McCor- 
 mack, I have been enabled to examine 
 his file of this volume, No. 4 being in 
 the original typewritten manuscript. 
 After completing the second volume, 
 the paper was discontinued until Feb. 
 2, 1894, to enable the editor to attend 
 college, and volume III, number I, ap- 
 peared as a six column folio weekly 
 newspaper.

 came the Official Organ of the 
 Kansas City (Mo.) Academy of

 publisher and proprietor. It is pos- 
 sible that the volume ran to 12 num- 
 bers, since its successor did not begin 
 before January, 1891. It is understood 
 that the "Naturalist" was a continu- 
 ation of the "Hoosier Naturalist." 
 Contains few bird notes, and is of 
 scarcely any value ornithologically.

 Began January, 1887, by Dr. Poote, 
 in an endeavor to build up a great re- 
 tail depot of natural history supplies. 
 The subscription was reduced to 25 
 cents during the fourth year, with a 
 circulation of 7,000, and the 16 pages 
 were doubled by the addition of a 
 second half to each number. Two edi- 
 tions were then published, a sub- 
 scribers' on heavy paper, and an ad- 
 vertising on light paper. 
 
 Ran into the 17th year, at least, the 
 last I have seen is dated Jan., No. 140, 
 1893. While the prftss work can 
 scarcely be commended, the contents 
 Is more or less interesting to the orni- 
 thologist, especially during the earlier 
 volumes; later the extensive lists of 
 scientific literature are its chief value.

 Suspended, subscriptions filled by 
 the "Popular Science Monthly." The 
 place made vacent by the defunct "O. 
 & O." was almost immediately filled 
 by the "Nidiologist." In December, 
 1894, the subscription was increased to 
 $1.50, and so remained the balance of 
 the volume. From March, 1895, to 
 April, 1896, it was published in New 
 York City, Following the criticism of 
 Dr. Coues, the superfluous "i" was re- 
 moved from the title, December, 1895, 
 and marked the advent of a new cover 
 design. Dr. Shufeldt became associated 
 with the editor May, 1895, and severed 
 his connections simultaneously with 
 the withdrawal of the new, and the 
 reappearance of the original cover de- 
 sign. With the beginning of third vol- 
 ume became Official Organ of the 
 Cooper Ornithological Club. 
 
 Nos. 2 and 3 of the initial volume 
 became exhausted before April, 1893, 
 as much as $1.00 being offered for the 
 former, sometime later the publisher 
 offered two sets of Vol. I at $2.50. Ac- 
 cording to a circular letter appeal for 
 financial aid, dated Dec. 12, 1896, the 
 subscription list at no time exceeded 
 
 t;oo.

 John H. Sage remained at the head of

 of short articles by various writers, 
 and short notes and comments by the

 This is the pioneer amateur oologi- 
 cal iieriodical of America. S. L. Wil- 
 lard, a typical American boy of about 
 sixteen years, after conducting an orni- 
 thological department in '"The Reper- 
 tory," a western amateur i)aper, be- 
 came convinced of the need of a serial 
 devoted to birds and their eggs, and 
 without help, no money and little ex- 
 perience, engaged the services of an 
 unemployed ])rinter. and began the 
 l)ublication of this little i)aper. The 
 first two issues were not only typo- 
 graphical failures, printed with coarse 
 type on thin i)a])er with scant margin 
 and the headings all set uji in type, but 
 the subject matter trite and of too 
 manifold nature, needless to state it 
 received severe criticism, and the dis- 
 couraged editor at a loss to jiav the 
 printer, withdrew the iniblication. 
 However, several inquiries for sample 
 cojties from surprisingly remote local- 
 ities and one or two press notices, 
 awakened a fresh determination to 
 proceed For the third number, he 
 invested in a bit of engravers' box- 
 wood anil carved a heading, at the 
 
 same time he added a small font of 
 type, sufficient to compose a single 
 page, and negotiated with a boy friend 
 to print it on his press, one page at a 
 time. F'ive numbers were issued in 
 this way during spare hours from 
 school, when his friend having dispos- 
 ed of his iiress, it became necessary to 
 do the printing elsewhere. From his 
 plans, a local blacksmith built a i)ress 
 with a eai)acity of just one page, on 
 which the next four numbers were 
 I)rinted. 
 
 It must be remembered that tie edi- 
 tor was under the necessity of com- 
 posing the bulk of the reading matter, 
 particularly in the early volumes be- 
 fore the paiier had many contributors. 
 Beside writing under his own name, 
 he i)ublished his own compositions in 
 the form of essays for the editorial 
 pages, Under the non de iilume of 
 "Ovum" he published a series of pap- 
 ers entitled "Birds" Nests and Eggs," 
 which ran for three years, having for 
 its inspiration a similar series by J. 
 A. Whitley in "Amateur Age." Con- 
 siderable also appeared over the name 
 of "Avis." Over fifty woodcuts during 
 the series, most of them wholly the 
 work of this enthusiast (exce])t a few 
 bearing the signature of S. Pryor, 
 sculptor) very crude work of course 
 but showing great industry. Volume 
 IT, and most of volume III were printed 
 on a large amateur press he had pur- 
 chased, and the balance up to the first 
 four numbers of volume V, on a better 
 and larger press which he also used 
 for job printing. Beginning with the 
 fourth volume, the i)eriodical attained 
 to the dignity of a cover and an en- 
 graved design which is best described 
 in the words of the i)roud engraver: 
 "In the foreground, across the lower 
 corner of the cover, api)ear three eggs 
 strung uiion a straw. A pair of Hawks 
 have chosen a delightful position for 
 their nest in the tree near the shore 
 of the lake; the motherly Duck has 
 nested early and is leading her little 
 family into the reeds: the Egrit and 
 Sandpipers are indesjiensible adiuncts 
 to pleasure upon water; the Ruffed 
 Grouse are both drummin.g; the Bubo 
 virginianus knows verv little about 
 any Snowy Owl; a bird of prev, prob- 
 ably an Eagle, appears just over the 
 horizon, a number of graceful Swal- 
 lows skim through the air, and the 
 Downy Woodpecker has found some- 
 
 -21—
 
 thing upon the tree that seems to en- 
 gage its attention." 
 
 On January, 1876, the subscription 
 was reduced to 40 cents, and raised to 
 60 cents at the beginning of volume 
 IV. With the November, 1879, issue, 
 Jos. M. Wade undertook its publica- 
 tion, S. L. Willard becoming assistant 
 editor, and the last eight numbers 
 were issued from the office of a reg- 
 ular printer, with Rockville, Conn., as 
 the place of publication. The five vol- 
 umes required just six years to pub- 
 lish. This little magazine, though of- 
 ten quoted, is quite scarce. I know of 
 only two or three complete sets in ex- 
 istence, one set collected recently, af- 
 ter much personal energy, advertising 
 and correspondence, represented an 
 outlay of almost $50 in cash. The first 
 three volumes are, of course, the scar- 
 cest: worth from $10 to $15 each. The 
 privilege of examining a complete file 
 I owe to Mr. R. M. Barnes. 
 
 Probably the bulk of the con- 
 tributions should be accredited 
 to the editors. Among the most 
 prominent or prolific are: W. T. 
 Allen, Dr. H. A. Atkins, W. H. Bal- 
 lou, T. M. Brewer, G. A. Boardman,

 "Guaranteed circulation 3000." This 
 magazine had quite a checkered ca- 
 reer. With the December, 1894, num- 
 ber, it was consolidated with "The 
 Naturalist" of Austin, Texas, and that 
 issue and vol. 2, no. 1, only appeared 
 under the latter title; the subscrip- 
 tion was advanced to 50 cents, Febru- 
 ary, ]S95, A. B. Averill became editor, 
 and in March it announced that the 
 North-Western Ornithological Associa- 
 tion had made it the official organ; Dr. 
 C. C. Purdum became associated with 
 the editor, which he retained until it 
 again changed hands November, 1890, 
 to John Martin, Palestine, Oregon, and 
 the subscription lowered to 25 cents, 
 and the Avocet engraving was replac- 
 eod by the seal of the State of Oregon 
 for the first four numbers of the last 
 volume. Suspended.

 1, 1892, pp. 1-15, and 25-32, (no. 2 with-

 seem to indicate an issue between nos. 
 
 2 and 6, probably a no. 3 for June, but 
 no more according to my information. 
 With the fourth number, Willard N. 
 Clute became editor, and the price was 
 increased to 3.j cents. At the end of 
 the year 300 copies of the title and in- 
 dex were printed, indicating about the 
 circulation at this time. It was then 
 transferred to Letson Balliet and Wil- 
 liam S. Sanford, Des Moines, Iowa, and 
 they became the editors and publish- 
 ers, raising the subscription to 50 
 cents. The periodical speedily degen- 
 erated under the new management. 
 Extravagant claims were made in re- 
 spect to the circulation. After pub- 
 lishing a single number, the price was 
 advanced to $1.00 a year, 10 cents a 
 copy, and William S. Sanford & Co. 
 editors and publishers: and the final 
 issue with the Ornithologist and Bot- 
 anist Publishing Co., just previous to 
 the transfer to the "California Travel-

 S. L. Willard retired at the close of 
 volume VI, and with volume IX Franl^ 
 B. Webster became publisher, and ^I. 
 Eaton Cliff assumed the editorship as 
 a successor to Jos. M. Wade. Volume 
 
 XI, Frederic H. Carpenter, Rehobeth, 
 Mass., became editor, with J. Parker 
 Norris as Oological editor, and Wright 
 & Bates, Entomological editors: Car- 
 penter retired May, 1887, and Wright 
 & Bates, the professional entomolo- 
 gists, July of the same year, when it 
 was published by the Bristol Ornithol- 
 ogical Club until the end of volume 
 
 XII, after which Frank B. Webster re- 
 sumed control editorially, with J. 
 Parker Xorris, Philadelphia, and Frank 
 A. Bates. The last two volumes pub- 
 lished by the Frank Blake Webster 
 Company, and after no. 1, 1892, Frank 
 A. Bates, name does not appear. 
 
 Volume X^^I, the long familiar en- 
 graving of the Screech Owl on the per- 
 manent title page gives place to that 
 of an Osprey scene, one of the same 
 appearing on the cover since Decem- 
 ber, 1882, drawn by Edwin Sheppard 
 of Philadelphia. The "O. & O." boast- 
 ed a large and most loyal clientelage, 
 both amateur and the trade, a list of 
 whom would include the majority ot 
 the field collectors of the period. The 
 deterioration began more than a year 
 previous to the final issue of the triple 
 number. A limited edition only of 
 Vol. VI was printed and it was soon 
 out of print, VII and VIll sells for $5, 
 X-$2.r,0, XI-$2.00, and XVII-$1..50. 
 
 A few' copies of a suppressed sheet 
 (Vol VITI, Xo. 11, Xov., 1883, pp. 83-84) 
 entitled "Plain English," being an edi- 
 torial of caustic comment on the per- 
 sonnel of the Xuttall Ornithological 
 Club and the newly organized Ameri- 
 can Ornithologists' I^nion; recently 
 procured from the i)ersonal effects of 
 the late Jos. M. Wade, have been put

 MONTHLY .MACrAZLXE of BIRDS &

 (Sus[)ended after No. 0, No. 7 not plac- 
 ed in general circulation. 
 
 The first two numbers edited by Wal- 
 ter A. Johnson and Dr. A. C. Murchi- 
 son, the California department by Don- 
 ald A. Cohen, the latter in place of 
 Chester Barlow as originally announc- 
 ed in the April prospectus; and this 
 periodical also published the proceed- 
 ings of the Michigan Ornithological 
 Club. After the second number edited 
 by Walter A. Johnson alone until Dr. 
 Coues became associated with him 
 March, 1897, 'and the place of publica- 
 tion removed to 141 East 25th St., New 
 York City. At the instance of Dr. 
 Coues, it was purchased by Dr. Theo- 
 dore Gill, and removed to Washington, 
 D. C. October, 1899, and the latter two 
 gentlemen became the editors, with 
 Walter A. Johnson, associate, and 
 Louis Agassiz Fuertes art editor. Dr. 
 Gill, who had withdrawn from the 
 April and May numbers, again assum- 
 ed the editorship by June, upon the 
 retirement of Dr. Coues. 
 
 Vol. V, No. 2, the editors were Dr. 
 Theodore Gill in collaboration with 
 Robert Ridgway, Leonard Stejneger, 
 Frederic A Lucas, Charles W. Rich- 
 mond, Paul Barlsch, William Palmer 
 and Harry C. Oberholser, of Washing- 
 ton, and Witmer Stone of Philadelphia. 
 The only change made in the new ser- 
 ies was the elevation of Paul Bartsch 
 to chief editorship with Dr. Gill. 
 
 Among the special features "Wil- 
 liam Swainson and His Times," "The 
 Osprey or Fishhawk: Its Characteris- 
 tics and Habits," and as a supplement 
 to the final volume: "General History 
 of Birds," all by Dr. Gill. This by far 
 the most brilliant of the minor orni- 
 thological periodicals, in all that goes 
 to make a success, was nevertheless 
 a failure. Volume I is very scarce and 
 worth about $fi.on.

 Suspended. It does not appear who 
 was the editor of the second volume 
 of the popular series, which contains 
 mostly unsigned notes and articles; 
 the names of J L. Childs, L. W. Brow- 
 nell and H. Nehrling most frequently 
 appear, and the illustrations are most- 
 Iv from photos of mounted specimens 
 in the Childs' collection. The second 
 or scientific series is almost wholly 
 devoted to original accounts of the 
 nesting of extremely rare species 
 with illustrations reproduced from 
 photographs. It is suri)rising that no 
 title page was provided for this ele- 
 gant periodical.

 The original title was: The West- 
 American Scientist, but the hyphen 
 was discarded after the fifth, and a 
 cover assumed by the seventh num- 
 ber. With the exception of volume six, 
 1889. which was published by Samuel 
 Carson & Co., San Francisco, C. R. 
 Orcutt was both editor and publisher. 
 No title page and index appears with 
 the succeeding volumes. In complet- 
 ing a file, one discovers a number of 
 typographical errors in dating and 
 enumeration, not all numbers have 
 covers, and the stock is apt to be in- 
 ferior. Enumeration of volumes ten 
 and eleven may appear intricate; of 
 the former, from the last half of num- 
 ber 93, to 100, there is nothing to dis- 
 tinguish the number or date of pub- 
 lication unless the separate sheets 
 happen to be placed in covers: some- 
 times, lacking the first 41 pages of the 
 full volume, it may be found inclosed 
 in a cover entitled: "Botany of South- 
 ern California." a reference work by 
 Charles Russell Orcutt. Numbers 84, 
 87 and 89 of volume XI are entitled: 
 West American Scientist. 
 
 This irregularly appearing little 
 journal has outlived the great major- 
 ity, and is a monument to the indus- 
 try and perseverance of Proprietor C. 
 R. Orcutt, the editor and chief con- 
 
 —29—
 
 tributor along botanical lines. I am 
 uninformed in respect to the circula- 
 tion, but there are a number of life 
 subscribers, and it will doubtless be 
 continued by the publishers. Many of 
 the early issues are exceedingly 
 scarce. The ornithological notes ap- 
 peared in the early valumes, and are 
 by L. Belding, F. E. Blaisdell, F. L. 
 Burns, Chette L. Cheney, S. H. Henry, 
 Theo. D. Hurd, J. Warren Jacobs, 
 Louis R. Lighton, R. E. Ranchford

 phens, G. D. Story and H. R. Taylor.
