Excerpt from Fauna of New England, 11: List of the Aves
The Library and Publishing Committee will issue, as volume seven of the Occasional Papers, a Catalogue of the animals of New England.
Parts will be published at irregular intervals, and though the details of the several lists will vary somewhat in the different groups, each list will include, 1st, the accepted name (scientific and vernacular); 2d, reference to the original description, with record of locality; 3d, reference to an authentic description and illustration, and 4th, habitat and occurrence.
The Committee considers these lists a necessary preliminary to a series of comprehensive, illustrated monographs, the publication of which it is hoped the Society will at some later time take upon itself.
The Committee also believes that these lists will aid in the accumulation of valuable material for the New England collection of the Society. With this in view a separate check list of names will be issued with each part. In this check list the + indicates a specimen in the Society's Museum; the - that a trustworthy record exists.
Toward the accomplishment of its aims the Committee invites the cooperation of all interested in the Fauna of New England.
Communications concerning specimens should be addressed to the Curator of the Society (Chas. W. Johnson), notes and records of occurrence to the Editor of the "Fauna of New England" (Samuel Henshaw).
