Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mallophaga of New England Birds However, the real beginnings of Mallophaga taxonomy in the United States began in 1896. In that year three indispensable publications appeared; New Mallophaga I and II, by Vernon L. Kellogg, and Insects Affecting Domestic Animals, by Herbert Osborn. Kellogg's work is the first large systematic treatment of the Mallophaga to appear in America. Part III of New Mallophaga appeared in 1899, along with the first ex tensive treatment of the anatomy of the Mallophaga by R. E. Snodgrass. In the twentieth century, M. A. Carriker, Jr. (1902) published his first paper on Mallophaga and continued working, mainly on Neotropical species until his death in 1965. At the present time, the most active workers in this country are Edwards, Emerson, Price, Tuff, and Ward.

Download or read book Birds of Massachusetts and Other New England States Vol 1 written by Edward Howe Forbush and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Massachusetts and Other New England States, Vol. 1: Water Birds, Marsh Birds and Shore Birds Many papers on the birds of Massachusetts have been published within the last fifty years, notably the Birds of Massachusetts, by Messrs. Reginald Heber Howe J r., and Glover M. Allen, but most of them are mere local lists with annotations, and not one of them contains adequate descriptions or colored plates of the species. The de mand for such information as plates and descriptions alone can furnish has grown in sistent with the years. Not only do people of rural communities seek such knowledge; the great and increasing army of bird students also requires it. Birds may be ranked among the noblest forms of life. Experience has shown that without special protection at the hands of man many species are likely to become extinct. Some of those that are hunted as game now need special care. Licenses to hunt certain birds within the borders of the Commonwealth are issued to citizens annually, and the number of such hunters now approximates one hundred thousand. Probably most of these hunters would be unable to recognize all the birds that they are privileged to shoot under their licenses, to say nothing of the large number of species that are protected by law. Many people who hunt birds desire such information concerning them as it is purposed to include in the present volume. The book is intended, therefore, to fill a long-felt want. The objects of the work are: (1) to interest the general public of Massachusetts and New England in birds and their rational conservation, (2) to provide our citizens with a means of identifying birds in the field or in the hand, (3) to furnish such other information regarding birds as the people desire and need. Long experience as State Ornithologist in answering their questions has perhaps qualified the author in some degree for the latter service.

This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Massachusetts and Other New England States, Vol. 2 Mr. James S. Cox, treasurer of the J. S. Cushing Company of the Norwood Press, the printers of this and of the previous volume, has given the most cordial cooperation and extended every courtesy. Mr. Cox has been unremitting in his efforts to expedite the publication of the book, and has extended every possible facility to the author. Dr. A. W. Gilbert, Commissioner of Agriculture, has given the project his cordial support and has continued to advocate before the legislative committees appropriations adequate for the work. His initiative and the support of the members of the Depart ment has made possible the financing of the undertaking. It now remains to express the most grateful appreciation of the author for the services rendered by several hundred observers and collaborators in the northeastern States and the maritime Provinces of Canada, who during the past ten years have corresponded with him and transmitted many thousands of notes on bird migration, unusual occurrences, descriptions of habits, molts, etc., many of which have been utilized in the preparation of this volume. Many excellent photographs also have been received, some of which are used for illustrating the work. Due credit for these is given in the captions under the illustrations. Since the above was written Louis Agassiz Fuertes, the premier American portrayer of bird life, who painted the pictures which are reproduced in this volume, has passed into the Great Beyond. It is an irony of fate that he, having explored great wildernesses of North Merica, South America and Africa, having visited Europe and travelled many thousands of miles by sea and land in his favorite pursuits, should be instantly killed in his native state while driving his own car over a grade crossing. His untimely death came as a great shock. It was a poignant blow to a host of admiring friends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Massachusetts and Other New England States, Vol. 3: Land Birds From Sparrows to Thrushes The editor of a posthumous volume is under a handicap in endeavoring to express the feelings of the author of the book to the many individuals who assisted in its preparation. Fortunately, I had come to know Mr. Forbush rather intimately during the several years immediately preceding his death, when it was my privilege to act as his assistant in pre paring material for these volumes. Edward Howe Forbush was a'man of great attainments in the fields of economic ornithology and of wildlife conservation, but he was also a man of great modesty. While he was continually consulted by scientists of the highest standing as well as by the veriest tyros in bird study, he was always ready to give full credit to those who had contributed in any way to his fund of information. It was his intention to acknowledge his indebted ness to all those who had assisted him, in the preface of the third volume of The Birds of Massachusetts. It is not possible for me to name all those to whom Mr. Forbush felt indebted, but all who assisted him and whose work is not herein acknowledged, will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have made a contribution to a work of real value, which has added to the knowledge and pleasure of countless individuals. First to whom Mr. Forbush tendered grateful recognition was his wife, to whom he was married in 1882 and who survives him. Throughout the long period of their life together, Mrs. Forbush not only encouraged him in his chosen work, but was of much assistance to him in many ways. Although crippled by illness in recent years, she spent many long hours in reading and revising his manuscript and in painstaking correction of the proof of The Birds of Massachusetts, and her criticisms were always constructive and helpful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Springfield and Vicinity With all the reliable text books on New England birds, a local list may seem to many uncalled for, but we sometimes find bird life different in short distances. For instance, less than fifty miles to the south and west of Springfield, there is a de cided change in Summer residents, in the latter direction undoubtedly accounted for by reason of variation in altitude, but in the former the reason is hot'so apparent, at least why the difference should be so marked in so short a distance and with practically the same Hora, temperature, and altitude.

The average dates of arrival and departure are inserted between the earliest spring and the latest autumn records.

Download or read book Notes on New England Birds Classic Reprint written by Henry D. Thoreau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on New England Birds It may be well here to point out the office of the brackets, as differentiated from parentheses, since their use is not always understood by readers. Brackets, as used nowadays by most writers and print ers, show the interpolations of the editor, while the parentheses are the author's own. Thus, in the present volume, a question-mark in brackets, indicates that the editors of the Journal were in doubt as to whether they had rightly interpreted Thoreau's hand writing, but the same in parentheses, is Thoreau's own query. So, too, in the notes, those which are bracketed are the editor's, while the unbracketed notes are later an notations by Thoreau, usually in pencil, upon the pages of his manuscript journals. The editor has felt free to quote or paraphrase the notes of the published Journal, for a large share of which he was primarily responsi ble, and he believes that Mr. Torrey will pardon him if in a few cases he has used the latter's phraseology without giving specific credit for it. The present notes are much fuller than those in the Journal, the plan of which did not admit of extensive annotation.
