Excerpt from Life Histories of North American Gulls and Terns: Order Longipennes
This Bulletin contains a continuation of the work on the life histories of North American birds, begun in Bulletin 107. The same general plan has been followed and the same sources of information have been utilized. Nearly all of those who contributed material for, or helped in preparing, the former volume have rendered similar service in this case. In addition to those whose contributions have been previously acknowledged, my thanks are due to the following contributors:
Photographs have been contributed, or their use authorized, by D.Appleton Co., S. C. Arthur, A. M. Bailey, R. H. Beck, B. S. Bowdish, L. W. Brownell, G. G. Cant Mell, F. M. Chapman, H. H. Cleaves, Colorado Museum of Natural History, E. H. Forbush, A. O. Gross, O. J. Heinemann, A. L. V. Manniche, W. M. Pierce, M. S. Ray, J. Richardson, R. B. Rockwell, R. W. Shufeldt, J. F. Street, University of Minnesota, C. H. Wells, J. Wilkinson, and F. M. Woodruff.
Notes and data have been contributed byS. C. Arthur, R. H. Beck, F. H. Carpenter, H. H. Cleaves, E. H. Forbush, F. C. Hennessey, R. Hoffmann, F. C. Lincoln, H.Massey, O. J. Murie, C. J. Pennock, J. H. Rice, Katie M.Roads, and G. H. Stuart. With the consent of Dr. L. C. Sanford and R. H. Beck, the American Museum of Natural History has placed at the authors disposal Mr. Becks extensive notes made on the Brewster and Sanford expedition to South America.
The distributional part of this Bulletin has been done mainly by the author, with considerable volunteer help from Mr. F.Seymour Hersey, whose time is now otherwise occupied. Dr. Louis B. Bishop has devoted much time to revising the paragraphs on distribution and on plumages.
Our attention has been called to an error in Bulletin 107. On page 32 a quotation from Dr. T. S. Roberts was inserted as referring to the food of the eared grebe; this really refers to the food of Franklins gull and not to that of the grebe. Readers of Bulletin 107 have suggested some changes.
