New England Naturalists: A Bio-Bibliography

Fred Burchsted
burchst@fas.harvard.edu

This bio-bibliography lists works about, and some works by, New England naturalists. Some naturalists primarily associated with other areas are included who have done significant work in New England. Coverage is largely restricted to naturalists active before 1945 or so. This is very much a work in progress. Many entries remain to be checked, so it must be used with caution. Suggestions for addition and corrections are gratefully received. Many of the cryptic abbreviations are explained in the Bibliography. I am happy to answer questions via email.

Articles in the Auk are available online at SORA- The Searchable Ornithological Research Archive.

Articles in the new American National Biography have only occasionally been incorporated. Marked ANB

The most common abbreviations are:

AMS: American men of Science
AOU: Biographies of members of the American Ornithologists' Union, by T. S. Palmer and others. Reprinted from "The Auk," 1884-1954. [Edited by Paul H. Oehser] Washington, 1954. 630 p.
BDAS: Elliott, C. A. 1979. Biographical dictionary of American science: the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 360 pp.
Meisel: Meisel, Max. 1924-1929. A bibliography of American natural history; the pioneer century, 1769-1865.

I am in the process of replacing cryptic abbreviations with full titles.

A boyhood interest in natural history led to extensive North American fieldwork , 1901-1910. In 1910, Bent agreed to complete for the Smithsonian Institution the Charles E. Bendire's unfinished life histories of North American birds. Bent organized a larhge network of informaants, whose observations and photographs were incorperated into Bent's Life Histories of North American Birds, 1910-1968. The last four volumes appeared postumously, the last three edited from Bent's notes by Oliver L. Austin, Jr.

Brewer formed an early interest in ornithology, joining the BSNH in 1835 and in 1837 publishing his first important paper, a list of 45 species not included in Hitchcock's report of the Massachusetts Geological Survey. Brewer contributed papers to the BSNH Proceedings from 1837- . He had a wide correspondence with both American and foreign naturalists. He was a close friend of Thomas Nuttall and Audubon, who acknowledges Brewer's information at several points in the Birds of America (2nd edition). Brewer's inexpensive edition (1840) of Alexander Wilson's Ornithology made this important work widely available. Brewer's special interest was oology, the description of eggs. The first and only volume of his North American Oology (1857), discontinued due to the expense of the plates, included life history and distributional information. More of Brewer's life histories were published in Spencer F. Baird, Brewer, and Robert Ridgway's History of North American Birds (1875). Baird and Ridgway were both at the Smithsonian Institution. Brewer's project of the life histories of North American birds was later continued by A. C. Bent.

Brewer was dear to his friends for his "warm sympathy", loyalty, and strong convictions. His strong convictions also made him enemies. He was a champion of the English sparrow, introduced in 18xx, and participated in an acrimoniuous debate with their enemies, including Elliott Coues. Brewer was a "closet" ornithologist, working in library and study, rather than the field. He got on poorly with the younger generation of largely field ornithologists, except for the universally likable William Brewster. Nuttall Club ...
