That first installment of “a bibliography of California ornithology” contained 1785 titles, all that were then known to the author, and covered the period from 1797 to the end of 1907. The present, second, install- ment lists titles for the succeeding sixteen years, that is, from 1908 to 1923, inclusive; and there are also given those titles that have come to the writers’ attention for the years preceding 1908 that were not included in the first installment. The titles now collected number, all told, 2286. The entire number listed in the two “installments” is 4071. Very nearly the same plan of treatment is adhered to in both installments. Unim- portant departures may be found in respect to punctuation and abbreviation. While still not accepting newspaper articles, nor, as a regular thing, articles from literary, sporting, or fiction magazines, more latitude has been allowed for including minor titles ; and quite a number taken from non-ornithological periodicals will be noted. The writer is now more inclined, where any doubt exists as to the status of an article, to include it and leave it to the user of the bibliography to appraise as he may see fit. Articles relating to fossil birds are now included. Some limit must always be determined upon for any bibliography short of the utopian “universal” bibliography. In the present case, after the criterion, birds, the limiting concept is ornithology only as directly and definitely concerning Cali- fornia. For instance, reviews are cited wherever pertaining to papers relating exclu- sively or dominantly to any bird or birds of this State. Reviews, not so pertaining, but which do mention California definitely in connection with some bird species or topic, are also cited; otherwise not. Biographies of persons, even if living in Cali- fornia, are not included unless they pertain in some unmistakable degree to the birds of Cdifornia. The criterion now held to is thus practically the same as in the first installment. Every title has been transcribed by the present author, in his own handwriting; and the proofreading has been done by him, with the help of a copy-holder, back to this first copy. Constant care has been exercised to preserve exactly the original wording, spelling, and punctuation of titles. The annotations were written with a view in most cases better to indicate the nature of each article than might be learned from the title alone, especially with respect to locality. In some cases, comments are offered relative to the trustworthi- ness of the aritcle, and in a few cases a short analysis is given. The great bulk of the literature cited in this bibliography of the ornithology of California is contained in the University of California Library. Here most of the work has been done. It has been necessary, however, to seek elsewhere for some things-in the library of Leland Stanford Junior University, and in the library of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. Helps or suggestions have been received from time to time from Dr. Theodore S. Palmer and Dr. Charles W. Rich- mond, of Washington, D. C., and from Dr. Witmer Stone, of Philadelphia. JOSEPH GRINNELL. December J1,1923. [El ___/--- ’ BJBLIOGRAPHY NOTE.-In this bibliography titles are grouped under years of publication, in sequence, down to and including 1923. The titles for each year are arranged alphabetically by authors. Under each author (in each year), if he published more than one article during that year, titles are arranged chronologically by months and days of the month. The system of arrangement is thus identical with that followed in the “first installment.” 1829. Lesson, R. P. Histoire Naturelle 1 des 1 0 ’ meaux-Mouches, 1 ouvrage or& [etc., 4 lines] 1 par R. P.

  • BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’S Leading Veterinary Charity
    BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’s leading veterinary charity. Additional text and photos courtesy of Australian War Memorial and UK Flightglobal Archive. The most famous and the oldest of the charity’s awards is the PDSA Dickin Medal. It acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, worldwide. The Medal is recognised as the animals’ Victoria Cross and is the highest British honour for animal bravery in military conflicts. The medal was instituted in 1943 Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE PDSA owes its foundation to the vision of one woman - Maria Elisabeth Dickin - and her determination to raise the status of animals, and the standard of their care, in society. During the First World War, Maria Dickin CBE worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Left: Despite the scepticism of the Establishment, Maria Dickin opened her free 'dispensary' in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17th November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Photo PDSA. Within six years this extraordinary woman had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a comforting and familiar sight throughout the country. With success came increased attention from her critics at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Ministry of Agrigulture.

  • Winkie Dm 1 Pdsa Dickin Medal Winkie Dm 1
    WINKIE DM 1 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL WINKIE DM 1 “For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February, 1942.” Date of Award: 2 December 1943 WINKIE’S STORY Carrier pigeon, Winkie, received the first PDSA Dickin Medal from Maria Dickin on 2 December 1943 for the heroic role she played in saving the lives of a downed air crew. The four-man crew’s Beaufort Bomber ditched in the sea more than 100 miles from base after coming under enemy fire during a mission over Norway. Unable to radio the plane’s position, they released Winkie and despite horrendous weather and being covered in oil, she made it home to raise the alarm. Home for Winkie was more than 120 miles from the downed aircraft. Her owner, George Ross, discovered her and contacted RAF Leuchars in Fife to raise the alarm. “DESPITE HORRENDOUS WEATHER AND BEING COVERED IN OIL SHE MADE IT HOME ...” Although it had no accurate position for the downed crew, the RAF managed to calculate its position, using the time between the plane crashing and Winkie’s return, the wind direction and likely effect of the oil on her flight speed. They launched a rescue operation within 15 minutes of her return home. Following the successful rescue, the crew held a celebration dinner in honour of Winkie’s achievement and she reportedly ‘basked in her cage’ as she was toasted by the officers. Winkie received her PDSA Dickin Medal a year later.

  • DAPPERE DUIVEN Tekst: PDSA - People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, Engeland
    DAPPERE DUIVEN Tekst: PDSA - People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, Engeland. Aanvullende tekst en foto’s: met dank aan Australian War Memorial en UK Flightglobal Archive. De PDSA Dickin Medaille is de bekendste en oudste liefdadigheids- medaille ter erkenning voor daden van bijzondere moed getoond door dieren waar ook ter wereld, in dienst van militaire en civiele eenheden ten tijde van oorlog. De medaille wordt erkend als het 'Victoria Cross’ voor dieren en is de hoogste Britse onderscheiding voor dapperheid in militaire conflicten en is ingesteld in 1943 door Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE De PDSA is opgericht dankzij een vrouw - Maria Elisabeth Dickin – en haar vastberadenheid om de status van de dieren en de kwaliteit van hun verzorging in de samenleving te verhogen. Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog werkte Maria Dickin CBE aan de verbetering van de vreselijke toestand van de diergezondheid in het Whitechapel gebied van Londen. Ze wilde een kliniek openen waar East Enders die in armoede leefden, gratis behandeling zou krijgen voor hun zieke en gewonde dieren. Links: Ondanks alle scepsis opende Maria Dickin haar vrije 'apotheek' in een kelder in Whitechapel op zaterdag 17 november 1917. Het was meteen een succes en ze werd al snel ge- dwongen om een groter pand te vinden. Foto PDSA. Binnen zes jaar had deze bijzondere vrouw haar eerste mobiele kliniek – door een paard getrokken - en weldra werd een vloot van zulke mobiele klinieken opgericht. Een PDSA voertuig werd al snel een troostend en ver- trouwd gezicht in het hele land. Met het succes kwam er ook kritiek van het Kon.

  • WHAT the DICKIN(S)
    WHAT THE DICKIN(s) 1 What is the Dickin Medal? Various Recipients Other Awards Animals in War Memorial, London 2 Maria Dickin (1870-1951) Maria Dickin CBE was a social reformer and an animal welfare pioneer. In 1917 she founded the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA). • PDSA is a British veterinary charity which provides care for sick and injured animals of the poor. • PDSA is the UK’s leading veterinary charity. 3 Foundation and development During World War I, animal welfare pioneer Maria Dickin worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Despite widespread scepticism, she opened her free "dispensary" in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17 November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Within six years, Maria Dickin had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic, and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a common sight throughout the country. Eventually, PDSA's role was defined by two Acts of Parliament, in 1949 and 1956, that continue to govern its activities today. 4 The Dickin Medal In 1943, the PDSA created the Dickin Medal and named it for Maria Dickin. It was initially to honour the work of animals in World War II. It is awarded to animals that have displayed "conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving or associated with any branch of the Armed Forces or Civil Defence Units".
