Harriman Alaska Expedition

Abstract

FROM time to time brief notices have appeared in our columns of various issues of “Papers from the Harriman Alaska Expedition,” published in the Proceedings of the Washington Academy of Sciences. The whole of these papers, together with others hitherto unpublished, are now in course of re-issue in the form of a series of handsome and well illustrated volumes, with the title cited above, and under the editorship of Dr. C. Hart Merriam, the well known chief of the Biological Survey of North America. As the various papers are reprinted from the original electrotypes, and the original pagination is given in brackets, there is no likelihood of any confusion arising by quoting from the re-issue. Of these volumes, four are now before us.
