.‘ . COOPER ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA NUMBER 13 SECOND TEN YEAR INDEX TO THE CONDOR VOLUMES XI-XX 1909-1918 BY J. R. PEMBERTON HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA PUBLISHED BY THE CLUB August 15, 1919 Edited by JOSEPH GRINNELL and HARRY S. SWARTH at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology University of Calalhornia NOTE PACIFICCOAST AVIFAUN~ No. 13 is the thirteenth in a series of publications issued by the Cooper Ornithological Club for the accommodation of papers whose length prohibits their appearance in THE CONDOR. The publications of the Cooper Ornithological Club consists of two series- THE CONDOR,which is the hi-monthly official organ, and the PMIFIC CUXY~ AVIFAUNA. For information as to either of the above series, address the Club Business Manager, W. Lee Chambers, Eagle Rock, Los Angeles County, California. INTRODUCTION HE WRITER has been occupied nearly a year and a half in the prepara- T tion of this the second ten year index to The Condor. Following upon consultation with the editors of the publications of the Cooper Ornitho- l.ogical Club, one hundred circular letters asking for suggestions were sent to such representative Club members as were thought would be most interested in the effectiveness of such an index. From the answers received the present plan was evolved and adopted.’ The procedure followed consisted in making up a card index, allowing one card for each species, each locality, and each author. The annual indexes to The Condor were not used except in checking for errors and omissions. This card index was completed almost simultaneously with the appearance of the last issue of The Condor for 1918. The whole was then typewritten, checked Item by item, and submitted to the editors. PLAN OF THE INDEX 1. Authors. Titles of papers and articles reviewed are entered in chrono. logical order, a review being indicated by the abbreviation ‘ (rev.) .‘ Where the indexed author is the reviewer the reviewed authors’ name is placed before the title. Where the indexed author himself is reviewed we read rev.‘ of his.’ The titles of all articles reviewed are inserted under both the author and the re- viewer. Cards were sent to all authors the full names of whom were not at hand, but responses failed to come from many. Dr. T. S. Palmer furnished full names for some of these. 2. Localities. Authors ’ na.mes are listed in alphabetical order under each locality, whether the article deals with the avifauna of the region exhaustively or simply records some one bird. 3. Xubjects. Names of authors are also listed under special subjects such as Anatomy‘ ,’ Taxonomy‘ ,’ but only where the article deals exclusively with the subject. 4. Species. Species a.nd subspecies are listed each under its respective genus. Under each species are listed all localities from which that species is recorded, and also, following a dash (-), are given subjects such as nesting‘ ’ and food‘ ,’ to which special reference has been made. Usually references un- der any of the latter headings may also be found under the locality heading. Thus at a glance one may find, for example, to what locality a certain nest-‘ ing ’ reference pertains. 6 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 13 5. Synorhyms. In parenthesis following the scientific name of each spe ties is the vernacular name, and following this are all other names by which that species has been called anywhere in the ten volumes of The Condor here covered. Each of these names is also listed separately in its correct alphabet- ical place in the Tndex, and cross references show under what scientific name all the information is collected. In this way all references are brought together under one name. The latest American Ornithologists’ Union Check-List has been followed for scientific names excepting for geographic races recognized subsequent to its publication, and for these the current usage in The Condor has been followed-anticipating in some cases the acceptance of these races by the American Ornithologists’ Union Committee on Nomenclature. 6. Key lett_ers. Where any species is referred to in The Condor by any other name than the scientific name used herein the reference in the Index is followed by a key letter, and by examining the names in the parenthesis which follows the scientific name it may be found what that name is. Thus, in the Index, the Cedar Waxwing appears as follows: Bombycilla cedrorum (“Cedar Waxwing, “Ampelis, Cedar‘ Bird) l‘ he’ first reference is Ark., XVII, 51---meaning that there the name used js liombycilla cedrorum ; the first reference for California is XII, 4Ba-and indi- cates that here Bombycilla, cedrorum has been omitted, the name Cedar Wax- wing appearing alone. The first reference for Morelos is Xl, 6Sb-indicating that the bird is mentioned under the name Ampelis cedrorum,. The reference for ‘food’ is XIII, 107”---and means that here the species is called Cedar-bird only. For the expert these key letters are perhaps unnecessary; but for the average worker they are needed for the reason that all the synonyms for each and every species cannot be kept in mind. Hence a novice in looking up ref- erences to the species above mentioned would perhaps overlook Ampelis‘ ’ in his search for either Bombycilla‘ ’ or ‘Cedar Waxwing’ were not the key letters used. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Sincere thanks are herewith extended to Joseph Grinnell and Harry S. Swarch for encouragement, help and advice during the time the index has been in course of preparation, and also for their service in editing the manuscript for the press and for proof-reading. Acknowledgements are here made to the author’s wife, Mrs. Edith Pemberton, for assistance in the second reading OC the proof. To all those Club members who replied to the circular letter above luentioned, thanks are also extended, not only for their suggestions, which de- termined the style of the Index, but also for the interest which they displayed and which served as the stimulus to encourage the writer in what would ot,her- wise have seemed hopeless drudgery.
