About This Item
Washington: GPO, 1916. Book. VG. Soft cover. 8vo. 16pp extract, illustrated with a full-page plate, salvaged from a damaged copy of the Annual Report Of The Board of Regents Of The Smithsonian Institution For The Year Ending June 30, 1915. From the opening paragraph, "It is now the consensus of opinion of all informed ornithologists that the Eskimo curlew (Numenius borealis) is at the verge of extinction, and by many the belief is entertained that the few scattered birds which may still exist will never enable the species to recoup its numbers, but that it is even now practically a bird of the past." Housed in protective mylar report cover..
