Wear to spine and extremities of wrapper lower cover detached but present. First Separate Appearance. 1 vols. 8vo. This work appeared in the Communications of the Essex Institute in May 1868 titled "Catalogue of the Birds of North America contained in the Museum." Coues stated that "the reprint gives the faunal list precedence over the museum catalouge but this is true only as regards the title-the general text is unaltered" Ayer. According to Coues there were only 50 copies of this reprint.<br /> <br /> Elliott Coues 1842-1899 became interested in natural history in particular ornithology when his family moved from New Hampshire to Washington D. C. Coues became aquainted with the Smithsonian Institution and its collections which fed his interests in natural history. As an assistant surgeon in the Army during the Civil War Coues "collected studied and published extensively on birds during his peripatetic military assignments" DSB at various forts in Arizona North Carolina and in the Dakota Territory. Later he served as naturalist for the Northen Boundary Commission 1873-1876 and for the Hayden survey in the ensuing four years. He was professor of anatomy at Columbian College now George Washington University from 1877 to 1886 and was editor of natural history subjects for the "Century Dictionary." He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences among numerous other societies and was a founder of the American Ornithologists' Union an early conservation group. Coues published some very well-received innovative tracts on birds with "Key to North American Birds" and "Check-List of North American Birds." "A distinctive feature of the "Check-List" was Coues's corrections in the orthography and pronunciation of original scientific names . . . He was a leader in the trend of his era toward reducing the great number of species names to varieties especially in local forms" DSB. He was considered a "lucid writer with a charming style second only and successor to Spencer F. Baird his mentor in ornithology Coues presented a great deal of information on the behavior and life histories of birds" DSB.

1893CRR2302Farnborough Kent: Published by the Author 1893. FIRST EDITION. 385 x 298 mm. 15 1/4 x 11 5/8". xvi lacking final two leaves of introduction 111 1 pp. <br/> Recent dark green quarter morocco over green cloth boards raised bands spine panels with gilt lettering. Housed in a matching green morocco-backed clamshell box lined with velvet by J & S Brockman. CONTAINING 27 HAND-COLORED PLATES each enhanced with gum Arabic by J. G. Kuelemans. Fine Bird Books p. 92; Ayer/Zimmer p.178; Wood p. 324. ◆A couple of plates with very minor foxing or an isolated spot but IN VERY FINE CONDITION inside and out the leaves quite smooth and clean and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> This is an important and beautifully illustrated work on the Coraciidae a spritely family of birds known for their vibrant plumage and acrobatic aerial displays. Predominantly found in Africa and parts of the near East "rollers" as these birds are commonly known are much admired for their extraordinary coloring ranging from bright blues violets and bright pinks to soft peach and burnt orange. The artist of the present work Dutch illustrator John Gerrard Keulemans 1842-1912 was a much sought-after draughtsman in the world of ornithology. Here he depicts each bird with his usual precision and fine detail and captures a rainbow of shades with richly saturated hues and subtle gradations. Zimmer calls the work a "Thoroughly detailed study of the group with excellent hand-colored plates." The son of a timber merchant Henry Eeles Dresser 1838-1915 travelled widely for his father's business which also afforded him the opportunity to study birds in far-flung regions such as Finland the Baltics and New Brunswick where the company operated a lumber mill. He even travelled to Texas during the Civil War bringing back with him more than 400 species of bird skins from the region. Dresser became one of the leading ornithologists of his day was elected to the British Ornithologists' Union the Linnean Society and the Zoological Society and amassed a formidable collection of skins and eggs. In addition to the present work he wrote another monograph on a related species of birds the monumental multi-volume "History of Birds in Europe" as well as numerous scholarly articles. We are able to price our handsomely presented and quite fine copy advantageously because of the two missing leaves from the introduction. Published by the Author unknown
