Excerpt from Two Bird-Lovers in Mexico

Parts of certain chapters have already appeared in print in the New York Evening Post.

To facilitate reference to the birds observed and to the mammals which we were able to identify on our trip, I have added as an Appendix an annotated list, with reference to pages of the book, thus supplement ing the Index. In the preparation of this Appendix I am greatly indebted to Mr. E. W. Nelson, of the Biological Survey at Washington, for the identification of specimens. 0. William beebe.

Excerpt from Two Bird-Lovers in Mexico

These chapters on the Nature life of Mexico were written during a trip to that country in the winter of 1903-04. We reached Vera Cruz on Christmas Day; Guadalajara on New Year's, from which city we made three camping trips in the vicinity of the Volcano of Colima, in the States of Jalisco and Colima; and returning via Vera Cruz, we left that port en route for New York at Easter.

The entire trip was so novel, so delightful, so absolutely devoid of unpleasant features, and on the whole so inexpensive, that it seemed to me that the knowledge of such an outing would tempt many lovers of Nature to this neighbouring Republic. As an aid to such Mrs. Beebe has added a chapter on "How we did it."

Our sincere thanks are due to Hon. Levi P. Morton, Mr. Madison Grant, and Secretary of State John Hay, for letters of introduction which proved invaluable.
