Tue CHARLESTON Musrum was wirpasitned 1 in March, 1773, by the Charles
Town Library Society. In 1815 it was transferred: to’ the Literary and
Philosophical Society of South Carolina, and in 1828 was deposited in the
Medical College of South Carolina. In 1850 the Museum was transferred
to the College of Charleston, where it was known as the College of Charles-
ton Museum. , In 1907 a building was, provided: by the City and the name
‘changed to The Charleston Museum. Under this name the Museum was
. incorporated in 1915 and thus’ began an independent existence after one
hundred and forty-two years of dependence upon thé fostering care of
other institutions. ;
' The Museum receives an appropriation for maintenance from the City
but depends upon dues from’ members and -private subscriptions for all
permanent improvements, for increase of the collections,’ ‘and for mainte-
nance of its educational and Scientific work.

INTRODUCTION

More birds have been made known to science from South
Carolina than from any other state except California. Indeed,
of valid species South Carolina has nearly twice as many as
California, the great majority credited to the latter state being
merely subspecies. For South Carolina there are but four sub-
species: the Mourning Dove, Osprey, Macgillivray’s Seaside
Sparrow, and Bachman’s Sparrow, all of which are so distinct
as to be recognized at sight. South Carolina thus stands easily
first among the States of the Union in ornithological history.

The first extended account of the birds of South Carolina
was given by William Hilton (1664) in the narrative of his voy-
age along the coast. Among the birds he described were “great
flocks of Parrakeetos,’’ a species which has become extinct.

The first great natural history written and published in colonial
days was Mark Catesby’s Natural History of Carolina, Florida,
and thé‘Bahama Islands, 1731-1748. In this monumental work
Catesby figured and described many of our best known birds,
including the Flicker (Yellow-hammer), Hummingbird, Blue Jay,
Robin, and Blue Bird.

It should be explained that although Catesby’s book treats
of Florida (the part now known as Georgia) and the Bahama
Islands, as well as of Carolina, he devoted his time in Carolina to
the study of birds and plants, while in the Bahamas he studied
fishes. Nearly all his birds, therefore, are described from Carolina.

Catesby arrived in South Carolina May 238, 1722, and spent
the first year in the coast country. He then visited the upper,
uninhabited portions of the state. An Indian guide carried his
collecting box and painting materials, and he painted the plants
while fresh and drew the birds from life.

Although the province of Carolina originally included what is
now both North and South Carolina, it is clear that Catesby’s
work was confined exclusively to the latter. His own descrip-
tion of his travels gives no indication of work beyond the borders
of South Carolina. Furthermore, at the time Catesby wrote,

Vv

the term Carolina was used to refer to South Carolina. The
Lords Proprietors were overthrown by the revolution of 1719
and North and South Carolina were formally separated by the
British parliament in 1729.

Catesby’s work is important not only for its in trinsic worth but
because Linnaeus based his descriptions of American birds chiefly
upon Catesby’s figures and descriptions.

Audubon and Bachman were the next ornithologists after
Catesby to discover birds new to science in some numbers.
Audubon’s accounts of South Carolina birds were based chiefly
upon the observations of Dr. John Bachman of Charleston.
Bachman discovered four new species and Audubon three, but
all of these were figured and described by Audubon.

The list on the following pages includes only those species for
which South Carolina is unquestionably the type locality. There
is reason to believe that the Nonpareil (Passerina ciris Linnaeus)
may be credited to South Carolina with as much propriety as to
Vera Cruz, which is the type locality usually assigned. Catesby
figured and described this species and Linnaeus refers to Catesby.
As is not usually the case, Linnaeus had, in addition to Catesby’s
figure and description, a specimen of this species which he said
evidently came from India on account of its brilliant colors,
although it was received in Sweden from Spain. This has led
to the belief that the specimen must have come from one of the
Spanish colonies and, Habana and Vera Cruz being the chief
exporting cities, someone has assigned Vera Cruz as the probable
type locality. It is certain, however, that Catesby adequately
described this species from South Carolina in 1731; that the
assumption of Vera Cruz as the source of Linnaeus’ specimen is
exceedingly doubtful, and even that Catesby might have sent
one or more specimens from Carolina to friends in Spain.

I am greatly indebted to my friend Mr. J. H. Riley of Falls
Church, Virginia, for sending me from the original edition of
Catesby both the Latin and English names of more than twenty-
one species in this list. A. T. W.

41. ?Otocoris alpestris alpestris (Linnaeus). Hornep Lark.
The type locality of this boreal species is attributed to South
Carolina by Catesby based on The Lark as frequenting the sand-
hills along the shore of South Carolina in winter (Nat. Hist.
Carolina, I, 1731, 32, pl. 32). Catesby, however, must have made
a plate of this bird from an Old World specimen and incorpo-
rated it in his work, as in more than thirty years of continuous
collecting I have seen the Horned Lark but once and that was on
January 20, 1893, when I secured several specimens on the main-
land. (See Auk, X, 1893, 205, and Contr. Cuas. Mus., I,
1910, 104.) The Meadowlark (Sturnella magna magna) was
known in early colonial days as The Lark, and I may add that
that bird bears the same name today, and furthermore that it
is common in winter among the sandhills of the seashore. Linn.,
