Note 5 — HISTORICAL NOTES ON HARRIS’S SPARROW (ZONOTRICHIA QUERULA).
Reading edition
An unbiased account of Audubon’s efforts to secure these specimens is given in Chapter XXXI, Vol. 2, of Dr. Herrick’s recent historical study ‘Audubon The Naturalist.’ Further light on the subject may be found in a letter from Audubon to Harris under date of Oct. 26. 1837, published in the Auk, Vol. XX, p. 370, by S. N. Rhoads. Audubon has left a full account of his activities at this time in the Introduction to Vol. 4 of the ‘Ornithological Biography.’
