PREP AL ©;

The many valuable records of ornithological matters contained in the

~- ~-columns of the Forest AND STREAM, render the paper a necessity to the

working ornithologist. At the same time, from its large size and the frequency of its issue, it is too often the case that complete files of the paper are not pre- served. I have had occasion, from time to time, to look up records, some of which had appeared years before; and the difficulty of finding just the note required led me to compile, for my own use, an index of some of the more important articles. It soon occurred to me that probably my brother naturalists were in the same predicament as myself, and since complete “bound volumes of the ForEST AND STREAM are accessible to but few, it ‘seemed worth while to compile a complete index, in order that the many valuable notes scattered through these files, might be more available.

This has been done, and by givinga digest of each note or article under the species referred to, the reader has much more than asimple index, which would necessitate a reference to the original volume. The present work then embodies all the Bird Notes to be found in the ForEsT AND STREAM for the time which it covers,

Various causes have combined to delay the publication of this Index, so that it is not, unfortunately, brought up to date, Should the present edi- tion, however, meet with favor, it is designed to include in a future one the succeeding volumes.

That the present compilation will be of value to ornithologists there can be little doubt, but it will be not less useful to the sportsman. Its very full references to game birds give a large number of localities where good

shooting is to be had and tell the seasons at which different shooting grounds

ive

Should be visited. References to the files of thé paper will furnish fuil ac counts which cannot fail to be useful in opening up forgotten localities where game is abundant. ;

For assistance in compiling these pages my thanks are due to the Edi- tors of the FoREST AND STREAM and I must also express to Mr. Geo, Bird Grinnell, Ph. D., my acknowledgements for valuable aid rendered me. It is particularly requested that any errors or omissions may be noted, and a

memorandum of them sent to the author at 51 South St., New York City. H. B. BAILEY.
