FOUNDER OF THE NEWTON NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY AND FOR MANY YEARS ITS PRESIDENT IX GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE MANY SERVICES HE HAS RENDERED THE SOCIETY 8)376903 PROSPECTUS. The accompanying sheets contain the title, introduction and sample pages of the catalogue of the collection of the May- nard Chapter. This catalogue is now ready for distribution to the subscribers. As will be seen upon examination of the pages, this is rather more than a catalogue, as considerable in- formation in regard to the specimens is printed ; this informa- tion is intended as a guide to students in their studies. The specimens catalogued, unless otherwise stated, are for free dis- tribution to members of the chapter who own catalogues, and to other responsible persons, even if they reside at a distance, who purchase a catalogue and a card. The price of the cata- logue is 25 cts each to all; cards are free to members, but their price to others is locts. each. Each card entitles the holder to fifty specimens, of which five may be borrowed at one time and kept for a week, then, in some cases, if desired, renewed for another week. Bird skins and other light specimens may be sent out and returned by mail at the rate of one cenC per ounce, or to clubs of several individuals, as cheaply, or cheaper by express, always at the expense of the borrower. As it is desirable for the publisher of the catalogue to know how many copies it is best to print, those who desire to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded to borrow bird skins, minerals, etc., should apply at once to the publisher for catalogues. As this catalogue is to be circulated largely among teach- ers, to be permanently kept, the attention of professional men and others, who hope for the patronage of teachers, is called to it as an excellent advertising medium. All money received in excess of the cost of the catalogue will be expended, at least at present, in the purchase of addi- tional bird skins. For catalogues apply to C. J. Maynard, 447 Crafts st. and for advertising space to him and to E. F. Dow, 61 Hen- shaw st., both West Newton, Mass. INTRODUCTION. Cn the evening of October 21, 1879, several gentlemen met at the house of Dr. J. F. Frisbie in Newton, at his sug- gestion, for the. purpose of organizing a society for the study of natural history. On October 29 the Newton Natural His- tory Society was formally organized at the house of the Rev. G. W. Shinn. This society at once became -popular, and on Feburary 26, 1883, was incorporated with si membership of over one hundred. For a number of years the meetings of the society were well attended, and many valuable papers were given before it by specialists and scientists. Some of these papers were printed, and in 1889-90 the society issued a monthly Bulletin of its proceedings. For reasons which are difficult to understand, shortly af- ter 1 892 public interest in the society gradually waned, and its membership decreased, until finally the meetings were held at wide and irregular intervals. Early in 1899 Mr. C. J. May* nard proposed to organize a branch of the society in order to render especial assistance to the teachers and pupils of New* ton and neighboring towns, as well as others who had a lik- ing for nature study. A well attended meeting was held at Mr. May nard 's labo- ratory on May 6, 1899 and the Maynard Chapter of the New- ton Natural History Society was organized. Fortnightly meetings were held in the class room of the laboratory until April 13, 1900, when the .chapter moved into a new lecture room, 447 Crafts st., West Newton, which had been finished and furnished through the efforts of the members; In the fall of 1900, upon the solicitation of members of the chapter the collections of the original Society, gifts of its members and others, were turned over to the chapter, a room having been prepared for their reception. INTRODUCTION. These collections, augmented by others given by members of the chapter, have been carefully catalogued, and are now ready to be loaned to teachers and others who are either members of the chapter, or who have acquired the right of ac- cess to the collection ( see Rules and Regulations ). In order to assist teachers and others who are beginning nature work, accounts of the groups to which given specimens belong are printed, in many cases illustrated with wood cuts. Although a record has been carefully kept of the donors of specimens, it has not been thought advisable to print the names of such with the names of specimens in the catalogue. Any information upon this subject or any other appertaining to the collections will be cheerfully given to those who desire it by Mr Walter Gerritson, curator of the museum. Mention is herewith made of the principal donors of spec- imens to the original collection :— Dr. J. S. Frisbie, a large and valuable collection of minerals., especially of beryl and quartz, also fossils, etc. ; Mr. Jesse Fewkes, curator of the orig- inal society, a fine lot of minerals, rocks, woods, Indian relics etc.; large and valuable collections of minerals, by Messrs. W C. Bates, E. C. Fearing, S I. Fearing, J. C, Park, R L. Ordway,K. B. Brown, Geo. Leonard, W. J.Johnson, and Prcf S. E. Warren. Corals by Mr. S. A. D. Sheppard. To the Maynard Chapter; Miss Mary Linder miner- als, shells etc., Fossils from Lake Champlain by Miss Myra L Billings, from M rs Bracket a fine collection of nests and eggs gathered by her husband, the late Foster H. Bracket, of Dor- chester ; Messrs L. H. Avery and L. H. Wetherell, bird's nests ; Messrs Gerritson and Maynard, miscellaneous. The chapter solicits the donation of such specimens and books as will be of value to students in all branches of nature study. JULIA S. DOANE, C. J. MAYNARD, LILLIAN A. YOUNG. Committee on Catalogue. f> CATALOGUE OF THE COLLECTION OF THE MAYNARD CHAPTER. Catalogue of Birds, INTRODUCTORY. Birds are a highly specialized class of vertebrates, differing greatly from any other living animals, but showing an affinity through fossil forms ( Archaeopteryx, Hesperornis, etc. ) to the class Reptiles ; both classes undoubtedly having had a common ancestor. For convenience in study birds are divided into groups which are more or less natural ; but it must always be borne in mind that each group either now intergrades with some other group, or groups, or has done so in the past, for all birds were derived from a common stock. Changes in structure, form, color, etc. have been brought about by the changed conditions under which the birds have lived and as conditions are now constantly changing, we may expect to find some species now continuing to change. In studying the classification of birds we find that they constitute a Class among vertebrates. The next lowest division is Order. Under Order we find in regular sequence; Family, Genus, Species, Sub-species and Individual, for it must always be kept in mind that no two birds, even among the same species, are exactly alike. Each living bird is a separate organism, a conscious, reasoning be- ing, differing in some respects from any other organism, an individual bird. In this variation of individuals we find the key note that vibrates through the evolution of living forms from the lowest to the highest. In studying any class of animals it becomes necessary for us to acquire, in a great measure a separate vocabulary of names for the various parts of the animal. For example we do not call the fore limb of a bird an arm as we do in human be- ings, or a front leg as in a sheep, or a fin as in a fish, although it may be homolo- gous to all three, but a wing. The function of the fore limb in all the animals mentioned is different, hence the reason for applying separate names to each. When the function of a part is the same in different animals, the same name is usually applied to it in all classes of animals. For example all the animals men- tioned, and many others besides, have a heart and stomach, both of which have practically the same function in all species possessing them. It is thus best in beginning the study of any group of animals to learn the names which have been applied to their different parts. A careful study of the diagram given on the following page will greatly aid students in acquiring the names of the most important parts of a bird. CATALOGUE OF BIRDS. ' CATALOGUE. ORDER.

In general form members of this family are quite robust, but vary somewhat in this respect. ,The most prominent feature by which they can be recognized is the comparatively short, thick, conical bill, which is deeper at its base than one- half its length ( see Fig. 6 ). There are also nine primaries or flight feathers ( see Fig. 8 on page 10). Internally the gullet is more or less developed into a crop for the storage of food, and the stomach walls are thick for digesting hard seeds ; the intestines are quite long, but the coecal appendages are short and fanctioaless (see Fig. 7 ) . Most members of this family sing well, and thus we find a fairly wall developad singing apparatus ( see Figs. 4 and 5 and read accom- panying explanation). CATALOGUE OF BIRDS. GEXU3. TRUE SPARROWS.

Catalogue of Minerals. QUAKTZ. Pure silica; an oxide of silicon, composed of about 47 parts of si icon and 53 of oxygen. The element silicon nev^r occurs in a natural condition uncombined with oxygen. When separated artificially it gppcais in t^o condi- tions ; amorphous (without form) as a black powder, and crystalline as brilliant, black scales. Oxygen, the most abundant element in nature, also noted for the readiness with which it ( ombines with nearly all other elements, when pure, in a natural condition is a gas. Quartz is an exceedingly abundant mineral, perfect- ly transparent when pure, crystallizing in six sided pris-ms. It is fcaid tnough to scratch glass readily and bieaks with a cuived cr thill-lite (clcncl oidai) fract- ure, and it is difficult to make it break with a true cleavage. It feels rather gret.- sy to the touch. FIG. 37. Quartz Crystals. Quartz combines quite readily chemically with other minerals or elements, and often crystallizes thus combined; with iron, producing milky or smoky quartz; with titanic acid, rose quartz; with manganese, amethystine quartz, or amethyst. .Mechanically quartz is broken into fragments by ice and frost action; these fragments are worn by water first into pebbles, then into sand, which, under cer- tain conditions, becomes cemented together to form sandstone, which under other conditions may disintegrate back again into sand. Organically, quartz which has been taken into solution by water is absor- bed l>y plants, pla.it a limals, and animals, notable ex implt s of which are the dia- tomes, radiolaria, and sponges. The remains of these fjrm flint, which through age becomes novaculite, chert, and hornstone. From ] ls,nt life it is returned to the soil and under favorable conditions becoming agate, r,nd chalcedony. Underpressure, forming rock masses through cio~/led crystallization, or in co.n bination with one or all of the following miners If, feldspar, hornblende, mica forming different kinds of granitic rocks, which through age, pressure, and possi- bly partial fusion, become the diabases. CATALOGUE OF MINERALS. 19 Fused, more or less highly, and in combination with feldspar and other min- erals, producing quartzite, feldsite, jasperite. obsidian or volcanic glass, one form of which is pumice, which may be ground into ashes or volcanic dust. From being held in solution in water quartz often fills rock cavities and fis- sures, entering them from above, and thus may enclose other minerals like pyrite, garnets, epidote, etc., or metals like copper and gold. From being held in solution quartz also often fills the cavities in rocks once occupied by the crystals of other minerals but which have been dissolved away, leaving a mould of their form, and then the quartz assumes a crystalline form not its own, but that of the mineral of which it took the place. This change may have iaken place gradually as the dissolving mineral disappeared. In a like man- ner quartz sometimes fakes the place of decaying wood, shells of mollusks, coral, or other organic structures, often reproducing their forms with perfect exactness; tHs exact reproduction is particularly noticeable in the case of wood in which the cells and grain are to be seen. Such reproductions of organic structures are call- ed, rather incorrectly, petrifactions, but are more correctly termed pseudomorphs, which means false forms. It is usual to designate the form assumed by the quartz as quartz pseudomorph after the crystal, of organic structure. Thus, for example, we may find quartz pseudomorph after pyrite, calcite, etc., or quartz pseudomorph after wood or coral, etc. In the arts pure crystalline quartz has been used as lenses for eyeglasses, mi- croscopes, etc., and also in this form, or when colored in the chemical series or as agates, in jewelry. Primitive man used quartz in its various forms, pure and impure, as implements and weapons. In both ancient and modern art it enters largely into the composition of glass and from some of its combinations, as in the sandstones and granite, are produced excellent building stones. Quartz in man y- of its forms is well illustrated in the collection.
