Serials (publications) -- Birds vol. III

Manuscripts

This collection primarily consists of printed material related to naturalist and ornithologist Samuel Frank Dexter, 1847-1906. There are seven books: Field Guide to Wildflowers by Roger Tory Peterson; A Field Guide to Trees and Shrubs by George A. Petrides; A Field Guide to Western Birds by Roger Tory Peterson; How to Know the Birds...by Roger Tory Peterson; Land Birds Bird Guide. Land Birds East of the Rockies by Chester A. Reed; The Observer's Book of British Birds by S. Vere Benson; and What Bird is That? by C.A. Stebbins and R.C. Stebbins. There is also a lengthy run of 19th century ornithological periodicals. There are at least 120 issues of Ornithologist and Oologist published by Frank A. Webster from January 1884 through October 1893. There is also a small run of Birds: A Monthly Serial Designed to Promote Knowledge of Bird-Life from 1897 through 1898. Other printed matter includes two copies of The Audubon Magazine, vol. I, no. 9 and vol. LXIV, no. 1. An item of interest is "Taxidermist's Note Book on Collecting Trips of Wm. J. Magee". The contents of the notebook include an index of birds collected by Magee in 1875; descriptions of collecting expeditions, procedures, and weather condition in the New England region in 1876; and general remarks for the season of 1882 and 1883.
