Book Description
Excerpt from American Ornithology, Vol. 3 of 4: Or the Natural History of the Birds of the United States The ringed plover is very abundant on the low sandy shores of our whole sea coast during summer. They run, or rather seem to glide, rapidly along the surface of the flat sands, frequently spreading out their wings and tail like a fail, and fluttering along, to draw or entice one away from their nests. These are formed with little art, being merely shallow concavities dug in the sand, in which the eggs are laid, and, during the day at least, left to the influence of the sun to hatch them. The parents, however, always remain near the spot to protect them from injury, and, probably, in cold, rainy, or stormy weather, to shelter them with their bodies. The eggs are three, sometimes four, large for the bird, of a dun clay colour, and marked with nume rous small spots of reddish purple.

Book Description
Excerpt from Contributions to North American Ornithology, Vol. 3 Of all the New England states Vermont without doubt has had less competent observers, and therefore less published on its birds than any other New England state. And there remains much interesting work to be done, especially on the summer birds of its mountains. In Coues' and Steams' New England Bird Life I find only a score of observations on Vermont birds, much fewer even than given for the small state of Rhode Island, where there has been little enough done compared with Maine, New Hamp shire, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Ornithology, or the Natural History of the Birds of the United States, Vol. 3: Illustrated With Plates Engraved From Drawings From Nature That there is a property in names as well as in things, will not be disputed; and there are few naturalists who would not feel as sensibly a fraud committed on their nomenclature as on their purse. The ardor with which the student pursues his researches, and the solicitude which he manifests in promulgating his discoveries under appropriate appella tions, are proofs that at least part of his gratification is derived from the supposed distinction which a name will confer upon him; deprive him of this distinction, and you in ict a wound upon his self-love, which will not readily be healed.

With such strength, and an apparatus so powerful, what havoc might he not commit, if numerous, on the most useful of our forest trees.

Excerpt from The Ibis, 1885, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology I'r will be evident that the Editors have had no lack of contributions to complain of during the past twelve months. In bulk, at least, the twenty seventh volume of the 1818' fairly equals the majority of its predecessors, and, it is believed, does not fall short of them as regards the interesting nature of its contents.
