THE PUBLISHED WRITINGS OF SPENCER FULLERTON BAIRD, Se ees BY GEORGE BROWN GOODE, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1883. PREFATORY NOTE. The writer, since 1874, has been collecting materials for a work to be entitled “‘An Index Bibliography of American Ichthyology,” the ob- ject of which will be to render as easily accessible as possible to the investigator and the student the literature relating to American fishes. Its scope embraces not only anatomical and descriptive ichthyology, but the literature of the fisheries, angling, fishery legislation and diplomacy, fishery statistics, and the commerce of the fisheries. Refer- ences will be made not only to separate works and papers in scientific periodicals and the transaction of societies, but to all accessible articles and paragraphs in narratives of voyages and books of travel in Amer- ica, and to pertinent references in literary and sporting periodicals. Briefly, it is the intention to enumerate by title every writing ever pub- lished which refers to American fish or fisheries. The work will be called an ‘“index-biblhiography,” because it is intended to form a com- prehensive index to the works it describes. Each title will be followed by a brief descriptive or critical paragraph, which will supplement the title and indicate in a general way the scope of its author’s effort. In the case of an important paper a synopsis of its contents may be given. Under each descriptive paper will be printed the names of the new species described, with the locality whence the types were obtained, and the page of the reference. In important works, containing critical remarks, similar references may be given for each species discussed. References to every engraving published will be made. The pressure of other engagements has delayed the completion of this work, which it was at first intended to publish in 1876. It is now ex- pected that it may be finished in 1884. Titles of works published before July, 1884, will be included. In the mean time itis proposed, from time to time, to publish special bibliographies of the writings of the most prominent naturalists, for convenience of current reference, and to invite criticism of methods, corrections of any kind, and the co-opera- tion of those who are interested in the successful completion of the undertaking. The first of these special bibliographies is now presented. No one will be likely to question the propriety of selecting for its subject the IIL IV PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F.

The writer has in preparation special bibliographies of CHARLES GIRARD and THEODORE GILL, but it is possible that before these can be published others, by other writers, will be assigned a place in the series. The one now most nearly ready for publication is that of IsAac LEA, prepared by Mr. Newton P. Scudder. WASHINGTON, January 1, 1882. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF SPENCER FULLERTON BAIRD. ANALYSIS. J.

Epilogue. cr Spencer Fullerton Baird was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Febru- ary 3, 1823. In 1834 he was sent to a Quaker boarding-school kept by Dr. McGraw, at Port Deposit, Maryland, and the year following to the Reading Grammar School. In 1836 he entered Dickinson College, and was graduated at the age of seventeen. After leaving college, his time for several years was devoted to studies in general natural history, to long pedestrian excursions for the purpose of observing animals and plants and collecting specimens, and to the organization of a private cabinet of natural history, which a few years later became the nucleus of the museum of the Smithsonian Institution. During this period he published a number of original papers on natural history. He also read medicine with Dr. Middleton Goldsmith, attending a winter course of lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in New York, in 1842. His medical course was never formally completed, although in 1848 he received the degree of M. D., honoris causa, from the Philadelphia Medical College. Im 1845 he was chosen professor of natural history in Dickinson College, and in 184— his duties and emoluments were increased by election to the chair of natural history and chemistry in the same institution. In 1848 he declined a call to the professorship of natural science in the University of Vermont. In 1849 he undertook his first extensive literary work, translating and editing the text for the “Iconographic Encyclopedia,” an English version of Heck’s Bilder Atlas, published in connection with Brockhaus’s Conversations Lexikon. o VI PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. July 5, 1850, he accepted the position of Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and October 3, at the age of twenty-seven years, he entered upon his life work in connection with that foundation— ‘the increase and diffusion of useful knowledge among nien.” * His work as an officer of the Institution will be discussed more fully below. It was constant and arduous, but did not prevent the publica- tion of many original memoirs, among the most elaborate of which are the Catalogue of North American Serpents (1853) ; the ‘‘ Birds of North America” (1858); the ‘Mammals of North America” (1859); the “ Re- view of North American Birds” (1864-66) ; the ‘Geographical Distribu- tion of North American Birds (1865); the History of North American Birds, in connection with Thomas M. Brewer and Robert Ridgway (1874), and the preparation of numerous official reports. From 1870 to 1878 he was scientific editor of the periodicals published by Harper Brothers, of New York, and the author of their yearly cyclopedia of science, entitled “The Annual Record of Science and Industry.” In 1871 he was appointed by President Grant to the position of United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, an unsalaried office, to the duties of which he has for eleven years devoted a large portion of his time. In 1876 he served as one of the Government Board of Commissioners to the International Exhibition at Philadelphia, and was also a member of the international jury. In 1877 he was present, as advisory counsel, at the session of the Halifax Fishery Commission. In May, 1878, after the death of Professor Henry, he was, by the unan- imous vote of the Regents, elected Secretary of the Smithsonian Insti- tution. Le, Professor Baird, in 1856, received the degree of Doctor of Physical Science from Dickinson College, and in 1875 that of Doctor of Laws from Columbian University. He was, in 1878, awarded the silver medal of the Acclimatization Society of Melbourne; in 1879 the gold medal ot the Société d’Acclimatation of France, and in 1880 the Erster Ehren- preiz of the Internationale Fischerei Ausstellung at Berlin, the gift of the Emperor of Germany. In 1875 he received from the King of Nor- yay and Sweden the decoration of “ Knight of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olaf.” He was one of the early members of the National Academy of Sciences, and ever since the organization has been a mem- ber of its council. In 1850 and 1851 he served as permanent secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and since 1875 has been one of the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Artin Wash- ington. He has been president of the Cosmos Club, and for many years a trustee of Columbian University. Among his honorary rela- tions to numerous scientific societies of the United States and other countries are included those of foreign membership in the Linnean ~ The motto of the Smithsonian Institution and of its founder, JAMES SMITHSON. PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. VII Society of London, and the Zoological Society of London, honorary membership in the Linnean Society of New South Wales, and corres- ponding membership in the K. K. Zoologisch-botanische Gesellschaft, Vienna; the Sociedad de Geographia, Lisbon; the New Zealand Institute, the Koninklijke Natuurkundige Vereeniging in Nederlandsch Indié, Bata- via; the Magyar Tudomdnyos Akadémia, Buda-Pesth ; the Société Nation- ale des Sciences Naturelles, Cherbourg; the Academia Germanica Nature Curiosorum, Jena; the Naturforschende Gesellschaft, Halle; the Natur- historische Gesellschaft, Nuremburg; the Geographical Society of Que- bee; the Historical Society of New York; the Deutsche Fischerei Verein, Berlin. The nomenclature of zoology contains many memorials of his con- nection with its history. A partial enumeration shows that over twenty- five species and one genus of fishes bear his name. A post-office in Shasta County, California, located near the McCloud River Salmon Hatching Station of the United States Fish Commission, was named “ Baird” by the Postmaster-General in 1877. bE His ancestry upon the one side was English, upon the other Scotch and German. His paternal grandfather was Samuel Baird, of Potts- town, Pa., a surveyor by profession, whose wife was Rebecca Potts. The Bairds were from Scotland, while the Potts family removed from Germany to Pennsylvania at the close of the seventeenth century. His great grandfather on the mother’s side was the Rev. Elihu Spencer, of Trenton, one of the war preachers of the Revolution, whose patriotic eloquence was so influential that a price was set on his head by the EPritish Government; his daughter married William M. Biddle, a banker, of an English family for many generations established in Pennsylvania, and identified with the banking interests of Philadel- phia. Samuel Baird, the father of the subject of this sketch, estab- lished himself as a lawyer at Reading, Pennsylvania, and died when his son was ten years old. He was a man of fine culture, a strong thinker, a close observer, and a lover’ of nature and of out-of-door pursuits. His traits were inherited by his children, but especially by his sons Spencer and William. The latter, who was the elder, was the first to begin collecting specimens, and as early as 1836 had in hand a collection of the game-birds of Cumberland County. His brother soon became his companion in this pursuit, and six years later they published conjointly a paper entitled “ Descriptions of two species, sup- posed to be new, of the Genus Tyrranula Swainson, found in Cumber- jand County, Pennsylvania.” * There are still in the museum at Washington specimens of birds pre- pared by these boys forty-five years ago by a simple process of eviscer- ation, followed by stuffing the body-cavities full of cotton and arsenical *See list on a subsequent page. nm VIII PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. soap. The brother, William M. Baird, diverged into other paths, and at the time of his death in 1872 was United States collector of internal revenue at Reading. The inheritance of a love of nature and a taste for scientific classifica. tion, the companionship of a brother similarly gifted, tended to the development of the young naturalist, and a still more important element was the encouragement of a judicious mother by whom he was per- mitted to devote the five years immediately following his graduation to his own devices and plans instead of being pushed at once into a profession. In 1841, at the age of eighteen, we find him making an ornithological excursion through the mountains of Pennsylvania, walk- ing 400 miles in twenty-one days, the last day 60 miles between day- light and rest. The following year he walked more than 2,200 miles. His fine physique and consequent capacity for work are doubtless due in part to his outdoor life during these years. IV. ‘ An important stimulus to the efforts of this young naturalist was the friendship which he formed as early as 1838 with Audubon, with whom he was for many years in correspondence, and who, in 1842, gave to him the greater part of his collection of birds, including most of his types of new species. Young Baird contributed many facts and speci- mens for the History of North American Quadrupeds at that time in preparation, as well as to the Ornithological Biography, and was only prevented by ill healch from accompanying Audubon as his secretary on his six months’ expedition to the Yellowstone in 1840. In those days were formed many of the friendships and partnerships with scien- tific men which influenced his after life. Among his early correspond- ents were George N. Lawrence (1841), John Cassin (1843), John G. Morris (1843), Thomas M. Brewer (1845), and 8. 8S. Haldeman (1845). In 1847 he met Agassiz, then just arrived from Switzerland in company with Desor and Girard. At this time or a year later was projected the work of Agassiz and Baird on “The Fresh-water Fishes of the United States,” which was, however, never published, although a number of illustrations and some pages of text were elaborated. In 1843 he trans- lated Ehrenberg’s “Corals of the Red Sea” for J. D. Dana, who was then preparing his reports for the United States exploring expedition. As early as 1846 we find him engaged in the preparation of a synonymy of North American birds, and visiting Boston to consult the libraries of Amos Binney and the Boston Society of Natural History for works not possessed by the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. This material was utilized twelve years later in the “Birds of North America.” As professor of natural history in Dickinson College he taught the seniors in physiology, the sophomores in geometry, and the freshmen in zoology. He found time, however, to carry on the works begun in pre- PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. IX vious years, and to make in summer extended collecting expeditions: To the Adirondacks in 1847 ; to Ohio in 1848, to collect,in company with Dr. Kirtland, from the original localities of the types, the fishes de- scribed by him in his work on the fishes of Ohio; to the mountains of Virginia in 1849; and to Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario in 1850. When in 1850, upon the urgent recommendation of the late George P. Marsh, he was elected an officer of the Smithsonian Institution, he brought with him to Washington methods of work, developed in his personal experience, which became at once the methods of the establish- ment, and are still employed in many of its departments. V. There may be noted in the career of Professor Baird several distinct phases of activity, namely, (1) a period of twenty-six years, 1843-1869, occupied in laborious investigation and voluminous publication upon the vertebrate fauna of North America; (2) forty years of continuous con- tribution to scientific literature, of which at least ten were devoted to scientific editorship; (3) five years, 1845-1850, devoted to educational work; forty years, 1842-1883, devoted to the encouragement and promo- tion of scientific enterprises, and the development of new workers among the young men with whom he was brought into contact; (5) thirty-three years, 1850-1883, devoted to administrative work as an officer of the Smithsonian Institution, and in charge of the scientific collections of the government—twenty-eight as principal executive officer and five as Secretary and responsible head; (6) twelve years as head of the Fish Commission, a philanthropic labor for the increase of the food-supply of the world, and incidentally in promoting the interests of biological and physical investigation of the waters. Vale The extent of Professor Baird’s contributions to science and scien- tific literature may be at least partially comprehended by an examina- tion of the succeeding pages of the present work. The list of his writings is complete to the end of the year 1882, and contains 1,063 titles. Of this number 775 are brief notices and critical reviews con- tributed to the “Annual Record of Science and Industry,” while under his editorial charge, 31 are reports relating to the work of the Smith- sonian Institution, 7 are reports upon the American fisheries, 25 are schedules and circulars officially issued, and 25 are volumes or papers edited. Out of the remaining 200 the majority are formal contributions to scientific literature. It seems searcely necessary to remark that most of the official reports above referred to, as well as many of the brief articles in the Annual Record, contain impertant original matter. x PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. Nineteen of the descriptive papers were published conjointly with Charles Girard, while the most elaborate work, ‘“‘ The Birds of North America,” was prepared in its first edition with the aid of Messrs. Cassin and Lawrence, and in its second with that of Messrs. Brewer and Ridgway. Of the total number of papers enumerated in the list 73 relate to mammals, 80 to birds, 43 to reptiles, 431 to fishes, 61 to invertebrates (these being chiefly reviews), 16 to plants, 88 to geographical distribu- tion, 46 to geology, mineralogy, and paleontology, 45 to anthropology, 31 to industry and art, 109 to exploration and travel. While the number of new species described does not necessarily afford any clew to the value of the work accomplished, it may not be uninterest- ing to refer to it as an indication of the pioneer work which it was ne- cessary to do even in so prominent a group as the vertebrates. I note among mammals 49, birds 70, reptiles 186, fishes 56. Forty-nine of 220, or nearly one-fourth, of the mammals discussed in the “*Mammals of North America,” were there described for the first time. In the cata- logue of serpents not more-than 60 per cent. had been named, and in in preparation for studying the specimens, each was carefully ticketed with its locality, and then the 2,000 or more individuals were thrown indiscriminately into one great pile, and the work of sorting them out by resemblances was begun. Not the least valuable have been the nu- merous accurate figures of North American vertebrates, prepared under: Professor Baird’s supervision. These include representatives of 170 species of mammals and 160 species of reptiles, besides still many hun- dreds of birds.* Vio. Passing to the consideration of the influence of Professor Baird on the encouragement of scientific enterprise, it seems scarcely necessary to call attention to the manner in which this influence has been exerted, since the relation of the Smithsonian Institution to scientific explora- tion, particularly in the lines of natural history and ethnology, is a part of the scientific history of the country, and since this department of the work of the Institution was always from its inception under the direction of the assistant secretary. The first grant made by the In- stitution for scientific exploration and field research was in 1848 to Spen- cer F. Baird, of Carlisle, for the exploration of the bone caves and the local natural history of Southeastern Pennsylvania. From the start the Department of Explorations was under his charge; and in his reports to the Secretary, published year by year in the an- nual report of the Institution, may be found the only systematic record of government explorations which has ever been prepared. From 1850 to 1860 several extensive government expeditions were sent to *In the bibliography below all these figures are thoroughly indexed. PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. Xl the western territories, and it became the duty of Professor Baird to enlist the sympathies of the commanders of these expeditions in the objects of the Institution, to supply them with all the appliances for collecting, as well as with instructions for their use, and also in most cases to organize the natural history parties, nominate the collectors, employ and supervise the artists in preparing the plates, and in many instances to edit the zoological portions of the reports. The fitting out of such expeditions was only a small part of the work; from the beginning until now there have been numerous private col- lectors, deriving their materials, their literature, and, to a considerable extent, their enthusiasm from the Smithsonian Institution, and conse- quently in correspondence with its officers. The Smithsonian ‘“ Instruc- tions to Collectors,” which has passed-through several large editions, as well as numerous circulars written with a similar purpose, were pre- pared by Professor Baird in connection with this department of his work. As a result of this extensive work of organization, a large number of young men have been trained as collectors and observers, and among them not a few have become eminent in various departments of science. In addition to this special branch of his work, the assistant secretary had, from the start, the charge of certain departments of the routine work of the Institution ; the system of international exchanges, for in- stance, which had ever been one of the leading objects of the Smith- sonian Institution, was organized by him in its details. His first task, after entering upon his duties, was to distribute the second volume of the ‘Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge.” Already in connection with his private enterprises he had developed a somewhat extensive sys- tem of exchanges with European and American correspondents, and the methods thus established were expanded for the wider needs of the Insti- tution. The main duty of the assistant secretary, however, was the development of the natural history collections. As has already been indicated, the private collection which he brought with him to Washing- ton formed the nucleus of the Smithsonian museum. The only speci- mens in possession of the Institution at the time of his arrival were a few boxes of minerals and plants. The collections of the Wilkes Ex- ploring Expedition, which constitute the legal foundation of the National Museum of the United States, were at that time under the charge of the National Institute; and, although by the act of incorporation the Smithsonian Institution was the legal custodian of the national cabinet of curiosities, it was not until 1857 that the Regents finally accepted the trust and the National Museum was definitely placed under the control of the Smithsonian Institution and transferred to its building. Until this time Congress had granted no funds for the support of the Smith- sonian cabinets, and the collections had been acquired and cared for at the expense of the endowment fund. They had, however, become so XII PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. large and important in 1857 that the so-called “National Collection” at that time acquired were small in comparison. The National Museum then had a double origin. Its actual although not its legal nucleus was the collection gathered in the Smithsonian building prior to 1857. Its methods of administration, which were in tact the very same that had been developed by Professor Baird in Carlisle as early as 1845, are those which are still in use, and which have stood the test of thirty years without any necessity for their modification be- coming apparent. In the bibliography below is reprinted from the fifth annual report of the Smithsonian Institution, now exceedingly rare, a report by the assistant secretary in charge of the natural history depart- ment for the year 1850, which enumerates the specimens belonging to the Museum on January 1, 1851, including a full account of his own deposit. Having thus almost from the very outset been associated with Pro- fessor Henry in the organization of the Smithsonian Institution, his course since his accession to the secretaryship has been a consistent continuation of that which had for twenty-eight years been adopted. VILE The work of the Fish Commission, in one of its aspects, may perhaps be regarded as the most prominent of the present efforts of the govern- ment in aid of aggressive biological research. On the 9th of February, 1874, Congress passed a joint resolution which authorized the appointment of a Commissioner of Fish and Fish- eries. The duties of the Commissioner were thus defined: ‘¢To prose- cute investigations on the subject (of the diminution of valuable fishes) with the view of ascertaining whether any and what diminution in the number of the food-fishes of the coast and the lakes of the United States has taken place; and, if so, to what causes the same is due; and also whether any and what protective, prohibitory, or precautionary measures Should be adopted in the premises, and to report upon the same to Congress.” The resolution establishing the office of Commissioner of Fisheries required that the person to be appointed should be a civil officer of the government, of proved scientific and practical acquaintance with the fishes of the coast, to serve without additional salary. The choice was thus practically limited to a single man. Professor Baird, at that time assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, was appointed and at once entering upon his duties soon developed a systematic scheme of investigation. The Fish Commission now fills a place tenfold more extensive and useful than at first. Its work is naturally divided into three sections: 1. The systematic investigation of the waters of the United States and the biological and physical problems which they present. The scientific studies of the Commission are based upon a liberal and phi- PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. XITE losophical interpretation of the law. In making his original plans the Commissioner insisted that to study only the food-fishes would be of little importance, and that useful conclusions must needs rest upon a broad foundation of investigations purely scientific in character. The life his- tory of species of economic value should be understood from beginning to end, but no less requisite is it to know the histories of the animals and plants upon which they feed or upon which their food is nourished ; the histories of their enemies and friends, and the friends and foes of their enemies and friends, as well as the currents, temperatures, and. other physical phenomena of the waters in relation to migration, repro- duction, and growth. A necessary accompaniment to this division is the amassing of material for research to be stored in the national and giher museums for future use. . The investigation of the methods of aanariens past and present, bad the statistics of production and commerce of fishery products. Man being one of the chief destroyers of fish, his influence upon their abundance must be studied. Fishery methods and apparatus must be examined and compared with those of other lands, that the use of those which threaten the destruction of useful fishes may be discouraged, and that those which are inefficient may be replaced by others more service- able. Statistics of industry and trade must be secured for the use of Congress in making treaties or imposing tariffs, to show to producers the best markets, and to consumers where and with what their needs may be supplied. 3. The introduction and multiplication of useful food: fishes through- out the country, especially in waters under the jurisdiction of the gen- eral government, or those common to several States, none of which might feel willing to make expenditures for the benefit of the others. This work, which was not contemplated when the Commission was estab- lished, was first undertaken at the instance of the American Fish Cul- tural Association, whose representatives induced Congress to make a special appropriation for the purpose. IX. Comment upon the facts presented in this biographical sketch seems to be unnecessary. Future historians of American science will be better able than are we to estimate justly the value of the contributions to scientific literature which are enumerated in the bibliography ; but no one not living in the present can form an accurate idea of the personal influence of a leader upon his associates, and upon the progress of thought in his special department, nor can such an influence as this well be set down in words. This influence is apparently due not only to extraordinary skill in organization, to great power of application and concentration of thought constantly applied, and to a philosophical and comprehensive mind, but to an entire and self-sacrificing devotion to the interests of his own work and that of others.

It is for the latter object that the art has been mostly used by the writer, who last summer copied leaves of nearly all the trees and shrubs of Cumberland County (Pennsylvania), amounting to nearly two hundred species. These photographs are as valuable for scientific purposes as good engravings of the same would be, perhaps more so, as not only is the outline perfectly given, but in most cases the fine and delicate nervation, whose arrangement frequently forms a specific character, is distinctly preserved.” : This collection of leaf photographs, still preserved in the National Museum, has been one of the standard resources of American paleophytologists, and has been used in the prepara- tion of many of the works on the Fossil Botany of the United States. 5. 1845.

Catalogue of birds found in the neighborhood of Carlisle, Cumberland Co., Pa. < Lit. Rec. and Journ. Linnean Assoc. Pennsylvania College, i, No. 12, Oct., 1845, pp. 249-257. A revision of No. 2. A list of the species of birds collected by the writer between 1840 and 1845 (with a very few exceptions) within a few miles of Carlisle. ‘‘None are admitted without having been actu- ally killed and preserved; in no case have any been admitted on the authority of others. A residence nearer the Susquehanna would no doubt have enabled us to increase this number considerably, as we have heard of several not in this list which have been killed about Har- risburg. Some of these will be found in a eatalogue of additional species procured at Mari- etta, Pa. (25 miles south of Cumberland Co., by Mr. J. Libhart), most if not all of which touch on our eastern border. The nomenclature employed is based on that of Prince Bona- parte, . . . with the additions, however, of the authority for each species, and various alter- ations called for by a strict regard to the law of priority. The name immediately succeeding each species is that of its first describer, and if in parenthesis, under a different genus. The second name is his who first placed that particular specific appellation under its present genus. A (t) prefixed shows that this bird breeds here.” The list of species is supplemented by references to Audubon’s names, by the common names, and notes on relative abundance and season of appearance. The paper is summed up as follows (p. 257): “Dotal' of species in| Cumberland (Coit sehce -easen reece se tees eee 202 of: which:—Breeding! ol 260.

The points to which particular attention should be directed are the first appearance of leaves and of flowers in plants; the dates of appearance and disappearance of migratory or hybernating animals—Mammalia, Birds, Reptiles, Fishes, Insects, &c.; the time of nesting of Birds; of moulting of and littering of Mammalia; of utterance of characteristic cries among Beptiles and Insects, and anything else which may be deemed noteworthy. ‘‘A list of plants is appended to which particular reference should be had in making obser- vations. It has been prepared from materials furnished by Dr. John Torrey and others, and will be found to contain many species distributed throughout the United States, together with an indigenous number to, or cultivatedin Europe. For the present, attention may be paid alone to the time of flowering of these species, this period in all cases being indicated by the first appearance of the anther in the expanding flower. “The Smithsonian Institution is also desirous of obtaining detailed list of all the animals and plants of any locality throughout this continent. These, when practicable, should consist of the scientific names as well as those in common use; but when the former are nnknown, the latter alone may be employed.

Minerals illustrating the geological survey of the mineral region of Lake Superior, by Dr. Charles T. Jackson, contained in nineteen boxes. Possessing myself large collections in different branches of zoology, I have deposited them with the Institution. The following list contains a brief enumeration of the most important of these. It will thus be evident to the naturalist that the objects already secured by the Smithsonian Institution, if not as numerous as in other collections, are yet valuable as being more than usually complete in certain neglected branches of natural history. SUMMARY OF SPECIMENS BELONGING TO S. F. BAIRD, AND DEPOSITED BY HIM IN THE CABINET OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. MAMMALIA. Skins of the principal mammalia of the Northern and Middle States and of Eastern Europe, with numerous specimens of the smaller species preserved in alcohol. BIRDS. A collection of about five hundred species of North American birds in skins, consisting of about twenty-five hundred specimens in the various stages of age, sex, and season. About two hundred and fifty species of European birds in one thousand specimens. Eggs of about one hundred and fifty species of North American birds. Duplicates of many of them, in some cases amounting to over a hundred of a single species. The nests accom- pany the eggs of many of these species. Nests and eggs of about seventy-five species of European birds, likewise in duplicate. REPTILES AND FISHES. A collection of the reptiles and fishes of the United States, at present contained in more than five hundred glass jars, and in numerous barrels, kegs, and tin vessels. Most of these species are represented by numerous specimens, amounting in certain cases to hundreds and even thousands of a single species. No approximation can, at present, be formed as to the number, either of the specimens or of the species. Very many, especially of the fishes, are still undescribed. Most of them have been personally collected in special expeditions to various parts of the country, such as Eastern and Western Pennsylvania, the great lakes, Northern and Eastern Ohio, Southern and Western Virginia, &c.; others have been furnished by contributors in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, and other States. This collection is especially rich in batrachian reptiles, which are preserved in large numbers in all their peculiar conditions of transformation. There is, in addition to these, a good collection of the fresh-water fishes and reptiles of Central and Eastern Europe. EMBRYOLOGY, Embryos of many birds, mammals, and batrachian reptiles. OSTEOLOGY. Skulls and skeletons of many North American vertebrata, amounting to some six hundred specimens. <A considerable number also belonging to European species. Also, microscopical sections of teeth and bone of various species of North American verte- brata. FOSSIL REMAINS. A large collection of fossil bones from various caves in Pennsylvania and Virginia. This includes nearly all the species of mammalia now living in the United States, with quite a num- ber of those which are now entirely extinct. Chelonian remains likewise in large number. * * * * * * 6 a * * Some general suggestions in regard to future operations of the Smithsonian — Institution in the Department of Natural History, as follows: “‘T beg leave, in conclusion, to present some general suggestions in regard to future opera- tions of the Smithsonian Institution, in the Department of Natural History. Itisafundamental principle in its organization, as presented in the programme and your annual reports, not to CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE. 7 é 5 1851. Barrp, Spencer F.—Continued. . attempt complete collections of all natural objects, but rather to gather up such materials for investigation as have been comparatively neglected by others. It may, indeed, be desirable, for purposes of gencral examination, to have extensive series of specimens from the three kingdoms of nature—animal, vegetable, and mineral—so far as they can be procured and ex- hibited without undue expense of time, money, and space. For the present, however, attention should be directed mainly to such branches as hitherto may not have had their due share of attention. ‘‘A prominent object in making collections should be to furnish to travelers the means of determining the character of objects collected in various parts of North America. ‘Hitherto, officers of the Army returning to Washington have generally been obliged to send or carry these obejects out of the city for the purpose of identification or verification, thus involving a considerable loss of time and credit. These specimens becoming widely scattered rarely return hither, and, when another occasion arises, the whole labor has to be repeated. By retaining them here and combining with them such series of specimens from North America, and other parts of the world, as may be specially procured for the purpose, very little delay in making up reports need hereafter arise. It will, of course, be necessary to call in the aid of the library in procuring all the general and special works which may be required in these investigations. Towards such help the rich collection of transactions of learned societies, already in the library of the Institution, and augmenting daily, will greatly tend. ‘Collections illustrating the general natural history of North America become, then, an ob- ject of primary importance. Much valuable material of this kind is now on hand and much, itis hoped, will be procured in the various ways hereafter specified. An exceedingly im- ! portant aid to this is furnished by the act of Congress establishing the Smithsonian Institu- tion, which specifies that all objects of natural history belonging, or hereafter to belong, to the United States, in whosoever’s custody the same may be, shall be delivered to such persons as are authorized by the Board of Regents to receive them. This entrusts to the Institution the custody of all collections publicly and officially made; but there are many valuable specimens procured in a private way whose acquisition must depend on the co-operation and assistance of officers of the various expeditions and of heads of departments. Officers stationed at the various military posts have it in their power to do much by procuring the objects of natural history in their vicinity and forwarding them to Washington. It is earnestly hoped that this co-operation may be obtained generally. ‘Next in importance to North American objects of nature are those of Europe. The ties uniting the two continents are not merely those of moral, civil, and political relationship, for the connection existing between the natural history of the two is almost as intimate. A large : proportion of the genera found in the one occur in the other—often the same species—or those that are very closely allied. This is true of all orders of animals and of most families of plants. ‘‘ Next to Europe comes Japan, a region which, in some respects, is more closely allied to our country than even Europe: Thisis especially the case with respect to reptiles, some of which, as species of Plestiodon and others, have been considered by eminent herpetologists absolutely identical with North American. Unfortunately there are at the present time almost insup- erable difficulties in the way of procuring Japanese specimens; the Dutch naturalists being the only ones who have succeeded in exploring even the shores of this country. Little can be done, therefore, except by exchange with the museums of Holland. ‘With regard to collections from other countries than those specified, the best rule will be to seek for those series which the other museums of the country do not possess. What these are I do not, at present, feel prepared to state; but hope to have it in my power in a future report to Ulustrate more fully this subject in a general account of the different collections in North America. ‘It may, perhaps, be well to indicate briefly the branches of North American natural history which have received most attention. Mammalia have been ably investigated by Godman, Harlan, Audubon, Bachman, and others; the present state of our knowledge of the subject being exhibited in the works of the two last-named gentlemen. There is, however, no good collection of these animals; that of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia being “ much the best in the country. The private collection of Mr. Audubon is more complete than any other. It is a mortifying fact that this gentleman was obliged to have recourse to foreign museums for the purpose of figuring and describing certain North American species which should have been accessible in one collection, at least, in this country. ‘The ornithological collections of the country, both public and private, are very numerous. Among the former that of the Academy of Natural Sciences is by far the best. The New \ York Lyceum and the Boston Natural History Society have pretty good collections. Of private collections, among the best are those of Messrs. Bell, Giraud. and Lawrence, of New York. The ornithology of North America, east of the Mississippi, has been pretty well worked up, but much remains to be done west of this boundary. 8 PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. 1851. BAIRD, SpeNcER F.—Continued. ‘‘General collections of North American reptiles are very rare in this country; that of the Philadelphia Academy, as usual, being the best among public museums. “Fishes have been preserved in several museums throughout the country. The Boston Natural History Society has the best series of North American marine species. The New York Lyceum comes next. Neither possesses many fresh-water species, being vastly exceeded in this respect by the collections of Professor Agassiz and my own. There is more difficulty in preserving alcoholic specimens, as collections of reptiles and fishes must for the most part necessarily be, than those that are dried; it is to this fact that the scanty representation of these classes of vertebrata is owing. ‘‘ Among insects, Coleoptera have been almost exclusively studied. The private collections of Messrs. Leconte, Haldeman, Morris, Harris, Melsheimer, and many others are rich in species. The Messrs. Leconte, father and son, have the largest of these, embracing many hundreds and indeed thousands of undescribed species. The public collection of the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia and others are of less value. Lepidoptera, or but- terflies and moths, come next. The best collection, perhaps, of these is that of Mr. Titian Peale, of Washington. Messrs. Harris, Morris, and Haldeman, and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, have also good collections. ‘“Comparatively little is known of the other orders of insects. The Neuroptera and Orthop- tera of New England have been collected by Dr. Harris; Diptera, Hemiptera, and Hymenop- tera have been almost entirely neglected. Say is’ almost the only American naturalist who has occupied the whole field of entomology. ‘‘ Spiders have been ably investigated and abundantly collected by Hentz, who is still con- tinuing his labors in this department. Much, however, remains to be done. ‘The Podophthalmian Crustacea are preserved in various cabinets, although many species yet await discovery. Messrs. Say, Dana, and Gibbes are the principal workers in this field. The remaining orders, as Amphipoda, Entomostraca, Isopoda, &c., &c., have been almost wholly neglected. ' “The North American worms have never been collected to any extent. ‘Of allinvertebrata the hard parts of mollusca or shells have received most attention in this country. There are numerous valuable cabinets, public and private, including both domestic and foreign species. The best public collection of American species is probably that of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Among private ones, may be named those of Dr. John C. Jay, John S. Philips, Isaac Lea, Major John Leconte, J. G. Anthony, Professor Haldeman, and others. Most of these gentlemen have had especial reference to Unionide in their collections. Nothing, however, has been done towards preser ving a series of the animals of shells. “Very little is known of the Radiata of North America. A few species are preserved in pub- lic museums, but by far the most extensive collection is that belonging to Professor Agassiz. ‘* Phanerogamic plants have received much attention, and the private collections of Doctors Torrey, Gray, and others, with numerous public ones of greater or less extent, leave compar- atively little to be desired in this respect. Great additions are continually being received from the country west of the Mississippi, in collections made by officers of the Army and private individuals. Among these should be mentioned Colonel Fremont, Colonel Emory, Captain Stansbury, Major Rich, Messrs. Lindheimer, Wright, Fendler, Gregg, Wislizenus, Drummond, and others. ‘“Cryptogamic botany has been considerably neglected, until within a few years past. The | best collections are in the hands of private individuals, as Messrs. Sullivan, Tuckerman, Cur- tis, Bailey, Lesquereux, and others. A great deal remains still to be done in this branch of botany. The work of Doctor Harvey on North American Alge, in preparation for the Smith- sonian Institution, will tend greatly to stimulate collectors to pay attention to this order. ‘Collections in palaeontology are quite numerous, though principally local. The best general collection is that of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Their museum is incomparably richer, than any other in this country, in collection of fossil vertebrata. The only collection of any ex- tent, of the fossil bones found in the caves of the United States, is in the cabinet of this Institu- tion. Of the interesting Eocene species of the Upper Missouri, Doctor Evans, of Washington, has made an exceedingly valuable collection under direction of the Land Office. Next to this comes a similar one nade by Mr. Culbertson for the Smithsonian Institution. An excellent col- lection of Tertiary fossils is in possession of Prof. F. S. Holmes, of Charleston, S.C. The Ter- tiary and Cretaceous fossil shells in the Philadelphia Academy are very numerous in species. ‘“Many of the mineralogical collections of this country are very complete, both as respects domestic and foreign species. Such are the cabinets of Yale College, of the Academy of Nat- ural Sciences, of Dartmouth College, of Bowdoin College, of Messrs. Markoe, Vaux, Clay, Ashmead, Alger, Bouve, and others. The general interest in the subject of mineralogy is such as scarcely to require any additional stimulus, except so far as relates to geology. CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE. 9 1851. Barrp, SPENCER F.—Continued. ‘There are various ways in which collections may be made by the Smithsonian Institution the principal of which are as follows: “Deposits by government, ‘by individuals, Exchange, Purchase, Employment of collectors, Donations. ‘To the first of these, I have already briefly referred. Up to the present time nothing has been received, save the series of specimens illustrating Dr. Jackson’s report on the mineral lands of Lake Superior. “In some collections, specimens deposited by individuals form a conspicuous feature. These, when of considerable extent and completeness, or when illustrating some special re- searches or publications, are often very important, particularly as they are, in most cases, ultimately presented. Single specimens, unless of much value, are not generally desirable as deposits. Free choice must, of course, be left the Institution, to say what shall be received and what rejected. “To the individual collector, exchange with other individuals or with societies forms the principal mode of forming his cabinet, beyond what may be personally procurable. This of course implies that the specimens be gathered in larger quantities than would be necessary for a single collection. By a judicious system of exchange, based upon a large stock of dupli- cates, it seems possible to procure almost any species, domestic or foreign, at little expense beyond that of transportation. To this end it is desirable to secure large numbers of such objects as may be specified hereafter. ‘*Purchase is an excellent method of increasing a collection in a short time. It not unfre- ~ quently happens, however, that acquisitions thus made are of comparatively little value, as is found to be the case in regard to most of the miscellaneous museums, public and private, which are offered for sale. It is of course different with respect to collections made for a specific purpose by practised naturalists, particularly when they contain undescribed spe- cies or serve as the types of standard works. Considerable operations of this kind require large sums of money, as will be seen by reference to the annual statement of expenditures made by the British Government in behalf of the National Museum;* and, with numerous » * Expenditures by the British Government a the specimens of natural history in the British useum.

It is confidently believed, too, that the mu- seum will increase almost as rapidly as accommodations can be furnished, by donations of individuals who may have it in their power to make collections, as wellas by the special efforts of its officers. This hope is strengthened by the actual experience of other institutions. “The employment or assistance of collectors in visiting particular portions of country is productive of very important results at very little expense. In illustration of this, I would refer to the acquisitions made by the Institution through Messrs. Lendler, Lindheimer, Wright, Culbertson, and others. In this I am also borne out by my own experience. For several years past I have been in the habit of visiting different portions of the United States, mainly in search of vertebrate animals. Accompanied on such occasions by zealous volun- teers, I have succeeded in accumulating very extensive collections, including very many rare and even undescribed species, besides obtaining much valuable information in regard to the general history of animals and plants. ‘““Tt is mainly to the employment of coliectors that the great European museums owe their richness. In most of these a regular corps is employed continually in traveling through vari- ous portions of the world and gathering large numbers of duplicates, which are ultimately distributed in exchange to other institutions. ‘Tn cases where memoirs containing descriptions of animals or plants are presented to the Institution for publication, it should, as far as possible, be made a condition of their accept- ance that a series of the objects described be deposited for the purpose of being placed on record and as authenticating the species. These should be labeled by the author, and the names thus attached be ever afterwards retained, even though they may have been incorrect or may have been modified by subsequent discoveries. Individuals, too, should be requested to present similar specimens, to be kept in the same manner, illustrating descriptions pub- lished elsewhere than by the Smithsonian Institution. ‘‘ At some future period, when the number of duplicates is sufficiently large, it may be pos- sible to furnish lyceums, schools, and other institutions with series of specimens, properly labeled and arranged, of various branches of natural history. Individuals, too, engaged in special investigations may hereafter find it practicable to procure objects in such quantities or of such character as to render material if not indispensable aid. This feature will, how- ever, require the cordial co-operation of naturalists and collectors to render it practicable. ‘‘T may remark that, for the assistance of those who may be unskilled in the collecting, pres- ervation, and packing of specimens, a pamphlet containing the directions is now in prepara- tion and will shortly be issued by the Institution. This will be of considerable size, and, in addition to the merely taxidermical portions, will contain notices of special desiderata in par- ticular portions of the world, a brief indication of the principal divisions of natural history, and notices of the most accessible sources to which the beginner must apply for information respecting the different branches of the subject, the whole illustrated by figures. ‘* Respectfully submitted. ‘SPENCER F.

PREFACE. ‘*The text of the work which is now presented to the American public is based upon the well known ‘‘ Bilder Atias zum Conversations Lexicon,’ just published in Leipsic, by F. A. Brockhaus, and edited by Mr. John G. Heck. The engravings are impressions from the original steel plates. “The object steadily kept in view in preparing the Ieonographic Encyclopedia has been to furnish a book to which the general reader may apply for an explanation of the principal physical facts which come under his notice. To do this satisfactorily, pictorial representa- tion is necessary, which it is hoped the five hundred quarto plates, with their 12,000 figures, will abundantly furnish. “Much of the utility of an Encyclopedia depends on its arrangement. The method which the editor’s experience of works of this kind has shown to be most convenient, is that of a systematic grouping of distinct treatises, according to their natural affinities. The work thus becomes, as it were, a series of text-books, capable of being used as such, and to which recourse may be had for all the general information required on a given subject. ‘To enable the reader, however, to refer readily to any individual fact a copious alphabeti- cal index, or series of indexes, is indispensable. By including numerous cross references, it ‘will be possible to furnish all the facilities of a strictly alphabetical arrangement without any of its disadvantages. ‘This, then, is the plan which has been adopted in the arrangement of the Iconographic ‘Encyclopedia. Each article falling within its scope has been treated of independently, and, as far as it goes, is complete in itself. It will not be expected that in the extensive range of subjects involved, even with the exclusion of biography, speculative philosophy, and all abstract sciences in general, any one can be treated in its fullest extent. All that has been aimed at, and indeed all that could have been looked for, was to present a general view of each subject, essentially popular in character, and fitted, more particularly, for those who wish to have the principal facts of numerous works condensed in a single one. Neverthe- less, it will be found, on examination, that many of the subdivisions of this Encyclopedia are much fuller in their details than most of the text-books or popular treatises of the day. Tables of contents and indexes have been prepared for each volume, and no pains have been spared to make these more than usually accurate. The indexes do not refer to words merely, but to facts and ideas, so that the text can be readily consulted upon any given topic. The lists of the figures on the plates will be found under the contents of the text which they are intended to elucidate, with references to the pages in the letter-press where explanations may be looked for. They furnish an immediate explanation of any figure that may arrest the eye. A glossary of German terms and phrases used in a few of the plates is also added to these lists. It would undoubtedly have been more convenient if the few plates which have caused the necessity of such translations had been re-engraved in English; but the expense of doing so would have more than doubled the price of the work, whose unparalleled cheap- ness could only be secured by a liberal contract for impressions from the excellent German plates. “To Mr. Heck belongs exclusively the credit of the conception and execution of the original work; and whether we regard its magnitude, or the regularity and efficiency of its perform- ance, it is one that has rarely, if ever, been excelled. “Tn undertaking an English version of the Iconographic Encyclopedia it was soon found that a literal translation of the original would not satisfy the wants of the American public. Written in and for Germany, the different subjects were treated of much more fully in rela- tion to that country than to the rest of the world. In some articles, too, owing to the lapse of time or other causes, certain omissions of data occurred, which did not allow of their being _ considered as representing the present state of science, or as suiting the wants of the United States. This, therefore, has rendered it necessary to make copious additions, alterations, and abridgements in the respective translations; while, in some instances, it has been thought proper to rewrite entire articles. Several of these original papers have been . ‘ 12 PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. 1851.

Some of these again have relieved him of the burden of translating, and have added much to the merit of their work by judicious alterations and additions; while others have revised his MSS. and enriched them with important suggestions. The authority and -value of the assistance thus obtained will be sufficiently evident from the names of those who have so kindly rendered it. To all he here takes the opportunity of returning his warmest acknowledgements. ‘‘The second volume, or the one containing botany, zoology, and anthropology, has been entirely rewritten. The articles init not prepared by the editor are Invertebrate Zoology, by Prof. S. 5. Haldeman; Ornithology, by John Cassin, Esq.; and Mammalia, by Charles Girard, Esq. “‘The friends to whom he is indebted for careful revision of his MSS. are Prof. Wolcott Gibbs (Chemistry); Prof. J.D. Dana (Mineralogy) ; Prof. L. Agassiz (Geognosy and Geology) ; Dr. Asa Gray (Botany); Dr. T. G. Wormley (Anatomy); and Herman Ludewig, Esq. (@eo- graphy). ‘“Those who have assisted him by translating and editing entire articles are Wm. M. Baird, Esq. (Ethnology of the Present Day); Major C. H. Larned, U. 8. Army (Military and Naval Sciences); F. A. Petersen, Esq. (Architecture); Prof. Chas. E. Blumenthal (Mythology and Religious Rites) ; Prof. Wm. Burner (Fine Arts); and Samuel Cooper, Esq. (Technology). The editor is likewise under very great obligations to the publisher, not only for affording him every facility in the prosecution of his task, but for unwearied and invaluable assistance in the discharge of his editorial duties. He here also takes occasion to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. Wm. H. Smith for revision of the proof-sheets and preparation of the alphabetical indexes; and also to Mr. Robert Craighead for the care which he has displayed in the typographical execution. “S. FE.

All those, however, necessary to a proper understanding of the history or character of the species, have been introduced, and all the syncnyms quoted have been actually verified by original reference. “Owing to the want of osteological preparations, it has been a difficult task to arrange the genera in a natural succession. In many cases forms are now combined which will hereafter necessarily be widely separated. The almost entire deficiency of modern general works upon the Colubride, has also been a serious obstacle to any correct idea of a natural system. The forthcoming work of M. M. Duméril will undoubtedly clear up much of the obscurity which now exists. But when systematie writers all carefully avoid the subject of the Ophidians, each waiting for the others to make the first step, the attempt to combine genera by well- marked, though perhaps artificial points of relation, will it is hoped be looked upon with indulgence, even after more comprehensive and extended investigations shall render it neces- sary to break up the combinations here adopted. ‘‘The collections upon which the original descriptions of the present catalogue have been based are as follows :— Spencer F.

Notice > Ninth Annual Report Smithsonian Institution (1854), 1855, pp. 16-38. ‘A period of six weeks spent on the coast of New Jersey, principally at Beesley’s Point, 3 BD 34 v -= PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. 1855. BarrD, SPENCER F.—Continued. and Long Island, New York, furnished an opportunity of studying the habits and distribu- tion of the principal species of fishes that are found on that portion of our shores during the — summer. ) ‘‘ Although many others, doubtless, are to be found in the same region, yet none have been introduced except those which were actually caught and carefully examined. A consider- able number of the species whose habits and peculiarities are given at some length, have hitherto had nothing placed on record concerning them; and it is hoped that the present article may be found to contain some interesting information, given here for the first time, in addi- tion to its character as a contribution to our knowledge of the geographical distribution of species. ‘“The difference of the names applied to the same species of fish at various points of our coast, even when these happen to be connected very closely, both commercially and geo- graphically, must strike every one with astonishment. “Tt is scarcely too much to say that no one species of fish bears the same vernacular ap- pellation from Maine to Maryland, still less to Florida or the coast of Texas. This is prob- ably owing to the fact that our shores have been originally settled by various nations from ; widely remote parts of Europe, each introducing its peculiar nomenclature, or deriving names from the equally isolated aboriginal tribes with their various languages. Thus the names of blue-fish, white fish, perch, blackfish, bass, king-fish, porgee, hake, tailor, whiting, horse- mackerel, shad, smelt, dog-fish, &c., may apply equally to two or more very different species. Among the synonyms of the species will be found the vernacular equivalents in the regions visited, together with some from other localities. It will be sufficiently evident, therefore, that before any species referred to under a trivial name can be identified, the origin of the fish or that of the writer must be ascertained. : ‘Although most of the facts recorded in the following paper have reference to Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, during a period extending from the middle of July to the end of Au- gust, it has been thought not amiss to incorporate the results of a visit to Brooklyn, River- head, and Greenpoit, Long Island, as well as to some points on the Hudson River, in Sep- tember. Some valuable information was thus obtained, tending to illustrate more fully the natural history and distribution of the species found on the New Jersey coast. ‘‘And here I take occasion to render an acknowledgment for much kind assistance and important information derived from various gentlemen at the different points of operation. Among these I will particularly mention Messrs. Samuel and Charles Ashmead, at Beesley’s Point, who devoted all their time to the furtherance of my objects in this exploration. I may also mention Messrs. John Stites, Willis Godfrey, Washington Blackman, John John- son, in fact, most of the residents of Beesley’s Point. Much benefit was derived at Green- port, Long Island, from the companionship of Mr. E. D. Willard, of the National Hotel, Washington; while to Mr. J. Carson Breevort, of Bedford, Long Island, well known as the first ichthyologist in New York, and surpassed by no one in his knowledge of our marine species, I am under the greatest obligations. Through the kindness of Mr. John G. Bell, of New York, and Smith Herring, of Piermont, I was enabled to make a complete collection of the fishes of the Upper Hackensack and Sparkill. ; ‘“‘It must be understood that the present article does not aim at giving a complete account of the species referred to. Such descriptions of color as have been given were in every case taken from the fresh and living fish, the object being to place on record features not usually preserved in alcoholic specimens. Of the species whose colors were known not to fade or alter in spirits, no notes of their peculiarities in this respect were taken, while the tints of others were so evanescent as to have escaped or altered before a description could be noted down. “Very little respecting the habits or history of the species has been added from other authors, nor does the nomenclature profess to be at all final as to critical accuracy. To haye accomplished this latter object, would have required more time than is at present at my dis- posal, involving, as it would, the entire revision of American ichthyology generally. The names given are principally those of De Kay in his history of the fishes of New York, and can thus be readily identified. ‘‘As will be seen in the course of the article, several of the species collected appear new to science; to these I have been obliged to give names for the sake of proper reference, with- out at the same time furnishing a complete scientific description. es 2 “The coast of New Jersey is well known to consist, for most of its extent, of a low beach, with sand-hills, separated from the mainland by a wide strip of low meadows filled with smalh ponds, and intersected by creeks and thoroughfares, which traverse it in every direction. There is no rock or stone of any description, and, consequently, there is a deficiency in the plants and animals which frequent rocky localities. At Beesley’s Point there is scarcely a pebble of the smallest size to be seen. “CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE. 35 1855. BAIRD, SPENCER F.—Continued. ‘““'The meadows are densely coated with grass, and are covered with water only during un- usually high tides. ‘“‘Beesley’s Point is situated at the mouth of Egg Harbor river, where it empties into Great Egg Harbor bay. The water is, of course, salt at this point, though somewhat diluted by the volume of fresh water brought down by the river. ‘“The distance from the mouth of the river, or head of the bay, to the inlet on the beach, is about two or three miles; the extreme width about the same, although extending into thoroughfares, through which a boat may be taken to Absecom on the one side, and to Cape May on the other, without going outside of the beach. The mouth of the river is occupied by very extensive beds of oysters, which are celebrated for their excellent flavor. ‘The bot- tom of the bay is in some part hard and shelly, in others sandy, or again, consists of a soft mud; the latter condition prevails near the shore, or wherever the current is of little strength. ‘““There are numerous mud-flats or sand-bars in the bay, some of them bare at low tide, or nearly so, and occupied by various species of water-fowl. These flats, continuing to increase in height, and at length acquire a growth of grass, which fixes still more the accumulating mud and sand, so that in time what was formerly a bar becomes an island elevated some feet above the water. ‘This transition is, in fact, so rapid that many of the inhabitants now living have known islands several acres in extent to form within their own recollection. “The greater part of the bottom of the bay and of the thoroughfares, generally, is a soft mud, rich in organic matter, and covered with a profuse growth of Zostera marina and alge of various species. Mr. Sean Ashmead, who has been engaged for some years in studying | the sea-weeds of our coast, has found a much greater variety of species at Beesley’s Point than Professor Harvey allots to the New Jersey coast. The water being generally shallow except in the channels, the submarine vegetation can be seen to great advantage, while sail- ing over the surface. The water becomes very warm during the summer, and supplies all the conditions necessary for the development of young fishes of many species. The young of all the large fish of the bay may thus be found in greater or less numbers along or near the shore. ““The ponds in the meadows, like the waters of the bay itself, are generally muddy at the bottom, sometimes bare of vegetation, and sometimes covered with a thick growth. The fishes found in these ponds consist almost entirely of cyprinodonts of various species, with occasional specimens of Atherina, small mullets, or sticklebacks. The creeks likewise con- tain cyprinodonts, generally of different species from those of the ponds, with young fish of various kinds. Crabs and eels are found everywhere. ‘“The line of beach is two or three miles from the mainland, and consists of a clear white: sand raised into hills ten to thirty feet high, a few hundred feet from the water’s edge. It is in the inlets at the ends of these beaches that the greatest variety of fish is to be found, particularly in the small indentations, protected from the roughness of the waves, and the bottom of which is covered with Ceramium cr sea-cabbage. ‘‘Corson’s inlet, frequently mentioned in the following pages, is situated at the southern end of Peck’s beach, which begins directly opposite Beesley’s point at the entrance to the harbor, and extends to this inlet over a distance of about five miles. ‘“The only fresh water near Beesley’s point is Cedar Swamp creek. This stream, rising in a cedar swamp, and flowing with a very sluggish current, (the water of a chocolate color), is cut off from the tide by a dam at Littleworth, three miles from the point. The bottom is very muddy. But little variety of fresh-water fish is to be found in this stream. Several species of Hsox, two Leuciscus, one eel, three Pomotis, one each of Aphredoderus, Labrax, Etheostoma, and Melanura, and several cyprinodonts. ‘The species are nearly all different from those found in the interior of Pennsylvania on the same latitude. “Another Cedar Swamp Creek occurs on the opposite side of Egg Harbor River, in At- lantic County. In many respects it differs from that first mentioned in being of more rapid current, and the bottom, at some distance from the tide-water dam, consisting of sand or small pebbles. The water, too, in small quantity is clear, though where of considerable depth it appears almost black. Fewer species of fish were found here than in the other, the only additional one being the Catastomus tuberculatus. *“*Ludley’s Run is a small run crossing the road to Cape May, about eight miles from Bees- ley’s point; fresh at low tide, but flooded at high water. The only fish found in it consisted of two cyprinodonts and the Gasterosteus quadracus.” The following species are discussed.

The following description of the work is taken from the preface: ‘“The present report is intended to embrace a systematic account of all the species of North American mammals collected or observed by the different parties organized under the diree- tion of the War Department for ascertaining the best route for a railroad from the Missis- sippi River to the Pacific Ocean. It was originally proposed to furnish a separate report in detail, on the collections of each party, but a consideration of the fact, that, with scarcely an exception, almost every species was found on two or more lines of survey, and thus not peculiar to any one expedition, led to an abandonment of the first intention. It was con- sidered to be worse than useless to repeat the same descriptions and details over and over again, while, at the same time, under the circumstances, it would have been difficult to say in what report any particular article could be best placed. As, too, the interest of North Amer- ican zoology depends not merely on the character of the species, but also on their generic and family affinities, as well as on their relationships to latitude and longitude, climate, soil, elevation, &c., it would have been impossible to do justice to the subject by cutting up the * Other copies have the imprint of Beverly Tucker. + In Gill and Coues’s ‘‘ Material for a Bibliography of North American Mammals,” pp. 992, this edition is cited as containing plates i-)x, which is- erroneous, the first 17 plates being given in other volumes of this series of reports.

BatrD, SPENCER F.—Continued. report into several isolated portions without any special connection as parts of a systematic whole. “‘At the same time, however, as it was desirable to present a picture of the zoological character of the several routes, as well as to show what each party accomplished, and, as many very important notes of habits and local peculiarities were made by the naturalists of the different lines, it would have been clearly an act of injustice to these gentlemen as well as to their chief officers to merge all their results into one common report. For these and other reasons it was finally determined that there should be prepared one general report on the entire collections of the railroad surveys, to consist solely of the technical description of the families, genera, and species, and of such remarks as might be necessary to show their place in the systems, each species to be preceded by its synonymy, and followed by an enu- meration of all the specimens collected, so arranged in tables as to show their geographical distribution. ‘‘Tn addition to this general report, however, special reports by the naturalists of each line were also to be prepared and published, to embrace the systematic and vernacular names of their species, with a list of the specimens collected. To these special reports, were to be confined all the biographies of the animals seen, all notices of their habits, peculiarities, and distribution, as observed and recorded during the route. In order that there might be no misconception of the species referred to, it was concluded to give a short diagnosis of each, with a reference to the page of the general report where the purely zoological details might be found more at length. ‘The present report, therefore, is the first of the series of general reports referred to, to be followed, as soon as practicable, by the remainder of the Vertebrata. The special reports on the zodlogy of each line of survey will be found in connection with the other reports belong- ing to their respective parties, in their full notices of the life of our western animals, possess. a general and popular interest far greater than can attach to the present account of mere zoological and technical details. ‘The large size of this report on the mammals collected by the railroad parties is owing to several causes. In the first place, the amount of new or little known material obtained was extraordinarily great. The summary of the species, at the beginning of the systematic list hereafter presented, will show that very many entirely undescribed animals were procured, and that, of a large number of others, previously little known, the specimens were sufficient to furnish many new and interesting details of characters, both external and internal. ‘‘ As, too, the object in calling for complete reports from the several parties was not merely to show the actual results of the several expeditions, but likewise to ascertain the general character of the Western Territories, I have not hesitated to include in this work all such materials derived from officers stationed at military posts, and other persons elsewhere in the West, as fell under my notice. ‘‘In view of the large amount of new or little known species at hand, in the preparation of the present report, sometimes embracing entire genera and even families, it soon became evi- dent that none of the published descriptions of the old and standard species were sufficiently minute and detailed to furnish the necessary means of comparison. With the discovery of forms very closely allied to or intermediate between those already known, the descriptions of the latter on record did not show sufficiently in what the differences consisted. It became necessary, therefore, to redescribe, as far as they could be procured, all such species, which, in fact, proved finally to be nearly all previously known. The present monograph of Amer- ican mammals has, in the end, grown out of the necessities referred to. ‘Tt will be sufficiently evident that, without the extraordinarily rich and full collection of North American mammals belonging to the Smithsonian Institution, the monographs and comparisons of species, in the present report, could not have been prepared. Independently of the specimens brought in by the Pacific Railroad surveying parties, the series in its Museum, from other sources, was found to embrace nearly all the previously known species, and many entirely new ones. ; ‘“‘T have also made free use of the collections and library of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, for which every facility has been furnished in its hall. The examination of the specimens collected by Townsend, and described by Dr. Bachman, has contributed to settle some quite doubtful points, while in some rare or very costly works of its unequaled natural history library I have been enabled to verify many references which would other- wise have remained uncertain. ‘‘T regret not to have been able to examine any of the types of the new species of Audubon and Bachman, as presented by the latter gentleman to the Charleston Museum. The rules of that establishment do not permit specimens to leave its hall, and it was not possible to- visit it during the preparation of this report. ‘‘T have endeavored to make all acknowledgments of aid from systematic writers in the body of the report, although it may be well to mention here that much use has been made- 42 ‘ Ke Wren RCS HAE eT US een / PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F.

BarrD, SPENCER F.—Continued, throughout of the works and articles of Wagner, Waterhouse, Gray, Brandt, Burmeister, Keyserling and Blasius, Giebel, Richardson, Agassiz, Englemann, and others, as enumer- ated in the synonymy and list of authorities. To the labors of Messrs. Audubon and Bach- man, however, either singly or collectively, are acknowledgments especially due for what- ever facilities may have previously existed for the preparation of a report on American mam- mals. The necessity or propriety of such a report is only to be found in the fact that, when the crowning work of these gentlemen, ‘The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America,’ was prepared, the materials at their command were far less extensive than have been at mine, and that many species, which they could only examine in the museums of London, Paris, Berlin, and Leyden, are now to be fouud in the Smithsonian collection in a profusion of speci- mens of the most satisfactory and perfect character. ‘‘ An apology is necessary for the delay which has taken place in the completion of the general reports on the zoology of the Pacific Railroad surveying parties. This has arisen from the fact that, from the first organization of these expeditions, in the spring of 1853, nearly to the present time, one or more has been in the field, and engaged in fresh examina- tions; so that until all the specimens expected were received, the general systematic account of zoological results could not conveniently be prepared. The examination of the materials was actually commenced early in 1855, and many of the articles written in that year in 1856. With the continuous accession of additional specimens, it became finally necessary to re- write, alter, or extend all that had been prepared prior to the present year (1857). It is to this that the frequent want of uniformity is due, the time allowed not being sufficient in many cases to permit the reworking of the whole matter. The measurements of the speci- mens were at first made in inches and lines, but that of hundredths was finally adopted ; it is to this fact that the presence of the two different divisions of the inch is attributable, it not being convenient or possible to make the measurements conform throughout, as would have been desirable. ‘Tt is, perhaps, unnecessary to state that the matter of the present report is entirely orig- inal throughout, the few cases in-which extracts from other authors are made being so indicated. With very few exceptions, all the references in the synonymy have also been personally made and verified. Where this was not possible, the synonym is inclosed be- tween quotation marks. “In explanation of the too frequent occurrence of typographical errata in the body of this report, it is proper to state that, owing to various circumstances, the work was necessarily passed through the press with a rapidity probably unexampled in the history of natural-his- tory printing, allowing very little opportunity for that critical and leisurely examination so necessary in correcting a work of the kind. For most of the time the proof has been furnished and read at the rate of twenty-four to thirty-two pages per day, nearly four hundred pages hay- ing been set up, read, and printed during the first half of July alone. The same cause has also interfered with the preservation of perfect uniformity of arrangement and detail through- out. In some cases, accidents to the form while on press have caused the loss or transposi- tion of letters, words, or paragraphs; as, among others, the exchange of characters of Orders VIII and IX, on page 1, veferred also to on page 625. For excuse of errors in the use of technical terms, in the formation and inflection of scientific names, and for all other short- comings, the writer can only throw himself upon the kind indulgence of his readers, partly in consideration of the fact that, owing to the urgent necessity for a speedy completion of the volume, no time was allowed for any revision of the manuscript as a complete work, nor, indeed, of its separate portions, and that for much of, the time the preparation of much of the manuscript was only a few hours in advance of its delivery to the compositor. ‘“‘A few words in explanation of the plan adopted in preparing the articles of the present report may not be out of place. I have usually made the entire detailed description of the species from one particular specimen, often indicating it by number, mentioning afterwards the variations presented from this type by the others before me. The specific diagnoses alone contain a combination or selection from the characters of several specimens. The num- bers attached to the specimens, as enumerated, are those which they bear in the Smithsonian Museum Catalogues. Each class of animals has its separate catalogue and succession of num- bers, from 1 upwards, in this series, the same number being never used twice for different objects in its class, and thus constituting an essential part of the specimen. There is also a special catalogue of the osteological collections. Thus, the skin of a mammal will have one number, and its skull, if separated, another; each specimen having both numbers attached, 421 its own as numerator of a fraction. Thus, when a skull is labeled or entered i149 it is to be understood that 421 is its number as entered in the catalogue of skins (or entire specimens in alcohol), while 1149 is the number of the skull as entered in the osteological catalogue. 1149 The skull itself would in this case be marked 1° 42 oi an *y % = f ' ~ CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE. 43 1857.

These are always retained as being referred to in the field-notes of the different parties. ‘The measurements have, in all cases, been made in English inches,* divided either into lines or twelfths or into one-hundredths. All the skulls, and in most cases the smaller skins, have been measured with dividers or callipers. The measurements of the body have been made to the insertion of the tail into the rump, or nearly to the very base of the caudal ver- tebr ; the animal usually with the head, body, and tail extended into the same straight line, avoiding, as far as possible, all curvature. ‘‘ Where measurements are recorded as made before skinning, they are, in most cases, to be understood as having been furnished by the collector. ‘For the sake of illustrating more fully the character of the species described in the pres- ent report, I have prepared the three lists as follows: “The first list is that of the higher groups characterized in the following pages. ‘‘The second list contains all the species of mammals, found in North America north of Mexico, that I have had an opportunity of examining while preparing the present work, to- gether with a few that belong to the northern provinces of the last-mentioned State. These are inserted as very probably existing within the limits of the United States, even though not yet detected. The indications of geographical distribution are chiefly those furnished by the specimens before me, although I have occasionally given statements in this respect from Audubon, Bachman, and Richardson. I have not pretended to define with critical accuracy the complete range of the species, the facts on record not being sufficient for the purpose. ‘““The third list embraces the species which have not fallen under my notice. Some of these have little claim to a place in the fauna of North America north of Mexico, while others are, in all probability, the same as those mentioned in the first list. A few are unquestionably additional and good species, especially such as Sorex fimbripes and palustris, Putorius ni- gripes, Arctomys pruinosus, Thomomys talpoides? Arvicola borealis, drummondit, richard- sonii, and xanthognathus, and some others. ‘The following table will serve to indicate the additions in the list to the known species of North American mammals, as compared with the latest general work on the subject: Species described here as new for the first time --.-.-..-.

For this purpose six parties were organized by the War Department for the survey of four main routes, and in a short space of time they were in the field. All the parties were fitted out in the most complete manner; the natural-history apparatus and material prepared under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution, which also furnished the necessary in- structions as to the objects most important to be collected. In its efforts to secure the assign- ment to these parties of persons capable of making collections and observations it was met by the hearty co-operation of the War Department, through the heads of the different expeditions and Captain Humphreys, in charge of the Pacific Railroad office. * * * * * * * ‘*A more detailed account of the collections and expeditions referred to above will be found in the Reports of the Smithsonian Institution—(sixth to the eleventh, 1851-1856). A notice o_o ae * The English inch used is about equal to 11.26 French lines, .9383 French inches, or to 25.40 millimeters. On the other hand, the French inch is equal to 1.0657 English inches, the French line to .0888 English inches, and the millimeter to .03937 English inches. The French meter is equivalent to 39.37 English inches, or 3.28 feet. et in 7 ' Rae se Wee r % ‘ - “ n 4 ; e - ~ PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F, BAIRD. vi 1857.

Couch. Incidental mention of these is also made occasionally in the present volume, wherever necessary to complete the indications of geographical distribution. ‘The collections of all the government parties just mentioned were transmitted, from time ~ to time, to the Smithsonian Institution, and were there properly cared for until the return of the several expeditions. They were then placed in the hands of the naturalists selected to elaborate them, and the necessary drawings prepared, within its walls, under the direction of the Institution, to which, also, was committed the general supervision of the engraving, and printing of the plates. Every facility has been furnished by the War Department, through Captain Humphreys, in charge of the Pacific Railroad office, and the heads of the different expeditions, for bringing the results properly before the world.” < Extracts from Introduction, Exploration and Surveys for the Pacific Railroad, vol. viii, 1853-6, parts of pp. xiii, xvi, and xvii.

Nicholson, Printer. | 1858. 4to, pp. lvi, 1005. ‘This report is complete in itself, and entirely independent of the various special articles by different naturalists of the several Surveys; an elaborate formal treatise on all the birds of North America north of Mexico. It represents the most important single step ever taken in the progress of American ornithology in all that relates to the technicalities. The nomen- clature is entirely remodeled from that of the immediately preceding Audubonian period, and for the first time brought abreast of the then existing aspect of the case. It was adopted by the Smithsonian Institution, and thousands of separately printed (4to and 8vo) copies of the ‘List of Species’ were distributed during succeeding years to institutions and individ- uals; the names came at once into almost universal employ, and so continued, with scarcely appreciably diminished force, until about 1872. The synonymy of the work is more exten- sive and elaborate and reliable than any before presented. The compilation was almost entirely original, very few citations having been made at second-hand, and these being indi- cated by quotation-marks. The general text consists of diagnoses or descriptions of each species, with extended and elaborate criticisms, comparisons, and commentary. Of the gen- eral character of the specific determinations, it may be said that the author’s tendency was to push specific discriminations beyond a point now usual; so that, though the work contains notably few purely nowinal species, it has many that have proven to be simply geographical races. Tabular lists of the specimens examined, with localities where procured, collector, date of collection, and many measurements, are given. The work includes no biographical matter, nor is it illustrated. ‘““The appearance of so great a work, from the hands of a most methodical, learned, and sagacious naturalist, aided by two of the leading ornithologists of America, exerted an influ- ence perhaps stronger and more widely felt than that of any of its predecessors, Audubon’s and Wilson’s not excepted, and marked an epoch in the history of American ornithology. 52 PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F. BAIRD. 1858. Barrp, SPENCER F.—Continued. The synonymy and specific characters, original in this work, have been used again and again by subsequent writers, with various modifications and abridgment, and are in fact a large basis of the technical portion of the subsequent History of North American Birds by Baird, Brewer, and Ridgway. Such a monument of original research is like to remain for an in- definite period a source of inspiration to lesser writers, while its authority as a work of reference will always endure.’’—ELLOT Cougs. The following extract from the preface explains the scope of this work: ‘The present report is a continuation of a systematic account of the vertebrate animals of North America, collected or observed by the different parties organized under the direction of the War Department for ascertaining the best route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. ‘“The collections of these expeditions having been deposited with the Smithsonian Institu- tion by the War Department, in compliance with an act of Congress, the undersigned was charged by the Secretary of the Institution with the duty of furnishing the series of general reports upon them, as called for by the department. The account of the Mammals having been published in 1857, that of the Birds is herewith furnished, prepared according to the plan announced in the preface to that volume.” ‘Asin the volume on the Mammals, by the insertion of the comparatively few species not noticed by the expeditions, this report becomes an exposition of the present state of our knowledge of the Birds of North America, north of Mexico. This addition, while rendering the work more valuable to the reader, was absolutely necessary for the proper understand- ing of the Western Fauna, the species of which are generally so closely allied to the Eastern forms as to require in most cases more minute and detailed descriptions of the latter than have been published.” ‘Certain portions of the report have been prepared by Mr. John Cassin, of Philadelphia, and Mr. George N. Lawrence, of New York, well known as the leading ornithologists of the United States. Mr. Cassin has furnished the entire account of the Raptores, from p. 4 to 64, of the Gralle, from p. 689 to 753, and of the Alcida, from p. 900 to 918, in all about 135 pages. Mr. Lawrence has written the article on the Longipennes, Totipalmes, and Colymbide, from p. 820 to 900, making 80 pages.” j “To Mr. P. L. Sclater, of London, acknowledgments are due for the examination of cer- tain specimens in European museums, and for other valuable aid in determining points of synonymy; some of his notes received too late for insertion in their proper places will be found in Appendix A. Much assistance has also been rendered in various ways by Dr. J.G. Cooper.” ‘Tn the introduction to the general report upon the Mammals will be found a detailed ac- count of the different railroad surveying parties from which Zoological collections were received, with their respective routes.” * * * ‘‘A collection of about 150 species received from Mr. John Gould, of London, contains many rare birds from the Northwest and Arctic regions (some of them types of the ‘ Fauna Boreali-Americana’), as well as others from Mexico and Guatamala. The latter have proved of great service for comparison with closely allied species of the United States, as have also specimens from Mr. P. L. Sclater, of London, Mr. J. P. Verreaux, of Paris, and Messrs. J. H. Gurney and Alfred Newton, of Norwich, England.” ‘“The types of Eastern birds have been furnished by the collection of the author depos- ited in the Smithsonian Institution. This consists of a full collection of birds of Central Pennsylvania, with sex, date, and measurements before skinning. It also embraces a large number of Mr. Audubon’s typical specimens used in the preparation of his ‘Birds of America,’ including many of those from the Columbia River and Rocky Mountains, fur- nished him by Mr. J. K. Townsend.” ‘In addition to the collections just mentioned, with others not enumerated, all in charge of the Smithsonian Institution, and amounting to over 12,000 specimens, types have been supplied for the occasion by Mr. Cassin, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. John G. Bell, Dr. Michener, and others. The ornithological gallery of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, be- lieved to be the richest in the world, has also furnished the means of making many essential comparisons.” ' ‘The measurements of the specimens have usually been made in hundredths of the Eng- lish inch,* mostly with the dividers. All the measurements in the list of specimens are as made before the bird was skinned, each collector being responsible for the accuracy of his work. The comparative tables of measurements show, in many cases, the change of dimen sions produced in the dried skin. oS.

This book was not written by Professor Baird, who assures me that he did not touch pen to it. The work was done entirely by Dr. Charles Girard, but through some technicality his name was not allowed to appear on the title-page by the Naval authorities having the matter in char ‘e, who insisted in publishing the book under the name of Professor Baird, to whom the original contract was given out. The matter is explained fully in the introduc- tion, which is quoted entire :— ““TINTRODUCTION.—The Joint Committee of the Library of Congress entered into an engage- ment with the undersigned, in 1857, to prepare tho Report upon the Herpetological collec- tions made by the United States Exploring Expedition. Finding that other duties would — CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE. 67 1858. Barrp, SPENCER F'.—Continued. interfere with the proper performance of the work, he was permitted to associate Dr. Girard with him in its execution, by whom the determinations and descriptions have been made, the drawings overlooked, and the work carried through the press. S. F. Batrp. Washington, May, 1858. (p. vii.)”’ As is well known only 100 copies of these reports were published by government, while the authors of the separate volames were allowed to have 150 more printed at their own indi- vidual expense. In accordance with this ruling a special edition of this report was published by Girard with the following title: : 1858. CHARLES GIRARD.

Baird. | [First octavo edition.] | [Seal of Smith- sonian Institution.] | Washington: | Smithsonian Institution. | 1859. 8vo. 2p. ll, pp. 194-2. This catalogue is a reprint, with some changes from the one in quarto forming a portion of the Report on North American Birds in Vol. TX cf the Reports of the Pacific Railroad Sur- vey, and published as a separate paper by the Smithsonian Institution in October, 1858. Its. object was to facilitate the labeling of the specimens of birds and eggs in the Museum of the Institution, as also to serve the purpose of a check-list of the species. A special edition was printed on one side of the paper only for labeling, also an edition on thin blue paper for mailing. In the octavo edition the note on habitat and the references to the pages of the report, which were included in the quarto edition, are omitted, the serial number of the species, the scien- tific name, and the common name alone being given. This publication was issued as No. 108 of the Smithsonian series, and was included in Vol. II of the Miscellaneous Collections. Several editions have in subsequent years been struck off from the same plates, and probably 10,000 copies of the catalogue have been distributed. This is the most usual form of the ‘‘ Smithsonian Catalogue” of North American birds, which has become a classical work among ornithologists, and in accordance with which the majority of American collections of skins and eggs are labeled. A revision of this, from the hand of Robert Ridgway, is now in press. 92. 1859. BarirD, SPENCER F.

No text, pll. xxiv—xxvi.* This report consists entirely of plates, the text being omitted. ‘* As the general report on the reptiles of Western North America, observed by the differ- ent exploring parties, has been excluded from the series for want of room, all that can be given here is an explanation of the plates prepared for this report. These represent the de- tails of external form in different species of North American Serpents. * * * The figures have, as far as possible, been taken from the type-specimens of the species, especially those described in the Catalogue of Serpents in the Museum of the Smithsonian Institution (1853), to which the page-column refers.” *“The make-up of the tenth volume of the Pacific Railroad Reports is such that it might be styled the ‘ Bibliographer’s Despair’; it contains about 20 different title-pages and a cor- responding number of different paginations.”—GILL & COUEs. 76 PUBLICATIONS OF SPENCER F.

Barrp, SPENCER F.—Continued. | ‘* ADVERTISEMENT. ‘“The present work is, in part, a reprint of the General Report on North American Birds presented to the Department of War, and published in October, 1858, as one of the series of ‘Reports of Explorations and Surveys of a Railroad Route to the Pacific Ocean.’ In this volume, however, will be found many important additions and corrections, including detailed lists of plates, both numerical and systematic, descriptions of newly-discovered species, &c., not in the original edition. ‘“The Atlas contains one hundred plates, representing one hundred and forty-eight new or unfigured species of North American birds. Of these plates about fifty appear for the first time, having been prepared expressly for this work. The remainder form the ornithological illustrations of the Reports of the Pacific Railroad Survey, and of the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey under Major Emory, and are distributed throughout the numerous volumes composing those series. All have, however, been carefully retouched and lettered for this edition, and quite a number redrawn entirely from better and more characteristic specimens. In fact, the plates of the Atlas have been prepared expressly for the present edition with the utmost care and attention. ‘‘In the volume of text will be found a complete account of the birds of North America, brought down to the present time, including accurate descriptions of all known species; their arrangement in the genera and families recognized by modern zoologists ; their geo- graphical distribution; and, as far as possible, all other information necessary to a complete summary or manual of North American ornithology. No other work extant gives a com- plete ornithology of our country; and it has been the especial object of the authors and publishers to adapt it to the wants of the student and lover of nature, and to present in a condensed form, and at a price within the reach of all, a reliable text-book in this favorite department of natural history. Extended bibliographical notices, embracing full references to very nearly all authors on American ornithology, have been added, and will be found to be of high interest to the student and naturalist.” The only difference between this volume and Vol. IX of the Pacific R. R. Survey consists in the addition of preface and different lists of plates. The first few pages are arranged dif- ferently, as the following table will show: In this volume. oe Advertisement! jc saa esee sess teae aeeeise eee seeeee cease sapere Ps (epee sees absent.

(2) i-xi(1), 100 plates. “The present Atlas has been prepared for the two-fold purpose of completing the series of illustrations of the Birds of North America, and to give accurate and easily recognized figures of the numerous hitherto unknown birds described in the first volume. It contains figures of all birds inhabiting the United States which have not been given by former Amer- ican authors, in connection with whose works it continues and concludes, as far as possible, to the present time the pictorial representation of all North American birds. In the accom- panying volume of text will be found descriptions of all the known birds of the United States ; their arrangement in the genera and families of modern zoologists; their geographi- cal distribution; and, it is believed, everything necessary to a complete and thorough knowledge of this favorite department of the natural history of our country. ‘Tn 1843 the distinguished ornithologist, Mr. Audubon, brought to a completion the second and last edition of his great work on the Birds of North America, in which are given faith- ful and accurate representations of nearly five hundred species. This elaborate work in- cluded all the birds known to that celebrated author as inhabiting the continent of America north of Mexico. CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE. 89 1860. Barrp, SPENCER F'.—Continued. ‘Tn 1853 Mr. Cassin commenced the publication of a work entitled ‘Illustrations of the Birds of California, Texas, Oregon, and British and Russian America: intended to contain descriptions and figures of all North American birds not given by former American authors, and a general synopsis of North American Ornithology.’ Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. The first series, containing plates of fifty species not given by Audubon, was completed ~ in 1855, and has not been extended, having been superseded by the present work. “Many of the birds of the United States, not included in the works of the preceding or other American authors, having been collected by the several parties for the Survey of a Railroad Route to the Pacific Ocean, and of the Boundary between the United States and Mexico, as mentioned in the preface to volume I of this work; they were figured in the re- ports of these expeditions published by Congress under the direction of the War and Interior Departments. Allof these birds appearin the present volume, but, in almost every instance, redrawn from better and more characteristic specimens. Of the one hundred plates, how- ever, of this volume, about one-half appear for the first time, having been prepared expressly for the present work. Many of the latter represent birds of Eastern North America. ‘“As already stated, the work of Mr. Audubon contains figures of somewhat less than five hundred species of North American birds; that of Mr. Cassin contains fifty species. In the present volume will be found one hundred and forty-eight species, nearly all of which are now represented for the first time in any work on American Ornithology. The three works together include illustrations of very nearly all the known birds of North America. A few species only are wanting, chiefly of Russian America and other remote localities, of which no specimens are preserved in American museums. All are carefully described, however, in the preceding volume.” EXPLANATION OF PLATES.
