A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The great expense attending works embellished with costly engravings, as well as the strictly scientific character of most works treating of Natural History, limits such subjects comparatively to the few. Frequent complaints of this nature have induced me to offer the present volume, with a view of placing within the reach of the gunners, the means of becoming more thoroughly acquainted with the birds frequenting Long I sland. The additions all departments of Natural History are continually receiving, is evidence, that with however much zeal and energy the different branches have been pursued, and notwithstanding the praiseworthy exertions bestowed by those who have distinguished themselves in their various pursuits, still we find their labors are not so far complete as to leave nothing for their successors. While the Botanist, Mineralogist, Entomologist, and Conchologist are enriching their cabinets, the Ornithologist is finding in our vast territory undescribed species. The Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, (1841,) contains an article giving the views of Dr. Bachman, relative to the course our Naturalists sjiould pursue in the publication of American species viz. that all north of the Tropic of Cancer twenty-three and a half degrees, should be called North America the Tropics, Tropical or Central America and south of the Tropic of Capricorn, South A merica. The large scope which our Zoology embraces, deters many persons from making collections, as they despair ever being able to complete them.
