America,'" _Print-Collector's Quarterly_, vol. 6, No. 3 (October),

233. (ANON.):
"More Buried Treasure in a Noted Basement," _New York Tribune_,
Sunday, March 11, 1917.
An appeal for a better treatment of the originals of Audubon's _Birds
of America_. "The original charter of the New York Historical Society
signifies that the organization was formed to preserve the history of
the United States, and especially the history of the City of New York.
If Audubon's wonderful drawings of the birds of America are not United
States history and New York City history rolled into one, then what, in
the name of Herodotus, Father of History, is?"

"In Audubon's Labrador," _The Auk_, vol. xxxiv, pp. 133-146,
illust. Cambridge, 1917.
