About this Item
Bristol, RI, Privately published, 1900-1902. Three volumes in 12. 8vo (24.5 x 16.0 cm). Three loose, printed titles; 83 pp. [26; 28; 29]. Original uniform printed wrappers. = A rarely seen regional ornithological journal, founded, and edited by the American ornithologist, odonatologist and lichenologist Reginald Heber Howe, Jr. (1875-1932). "A superior journal replete with valuable information on the birds of Rhode Island" (P. Brodkorb, quoted by Underwood). As explained in the last issue (Vol. III[4]), publication bridged a gap between the publication of Howe's "The Birds of Rhode Island" in 1899, and a prospected supplement. It contains numerous interesting observations on birds common or (very) rare to this small, northeastern State. Complete sets are very rare. Uncut, except Part 1(2), which measures 23.4 x 15.0 cm. Unmarked. Added: a single leaf with what appears to be an offprint of one small note. Wrappers, on somewhat more ephemeral paper, a bit chipped and frayed along edges, a few slightly longer tears, but all as one may expect from uncut leaves, and all without a serious flaw; the text pages all in excellent, clean condition. Underwood, M. H. (1954) Bibliography of North American Minor Natural History Serials in The University of Michigan Libraries, p. 132; not in Cat. BM(NH). Seller Inventory # 75826
