Synopsis
Excerpt from Birds of the Northwest: A Hand-Book of the Ornithology of the Region Drained by the Missouri River and Its Tributaries
Sir: Herewith I transmit, in compliance with your request, for pub 1cation under the auspices of the Geological Survey of the Territories, a Work on the Ornithology of the Missouri Region, on which, as you are aware, I have been long engaged, its completion having been delayed by various circumstances needless to detail. In this connection, how ever, I may refer to the circumstances under which the work originated, in explanation of its present plan and scope. This is a matter with which you are yourself already familiar, but one which may be presented to answer the purposes of a preface which would otherwise be required.
