Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Raptorial Birds of Iowa It will be seen that the bibliographies of the different species do not follow the same plan of arrangement. Those of species 1 to 8 inclusive, and Of species 9b and 9c give the synonymy of the auth Ors consulted while the remaining bibliographies, although follow ing the same chronological order, do not give the synonyms under which the birds were described. This change marks the point at which the author's work was interrupted. The writer would gladly have adhered to the author's plan had circumstances permitted her doing so without greatly delaying the appearance Of the book, but, lacking the necessary library, the amount of time needed made the advantages Of rearrangement appear so slight as to be negligible. It is of interest to note several contributions which Dr. Bailey has made in his work. A new variety of the Broad-winged Hawk is de scribed, and the first records authenticated by specimens, are made of the Mississippi Kite in Iowa and of the Western Goshawk. Of the last two named species two specimens each have been taken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
