Excerpt from Bermuda in Periodical Literature: With Occasional References to Other Works a Bibliography The list which follows is a reprint, with considerable additions, of two series which have already appeared in The Boston Book Company's quarterly periodical. Bulletin of Bibliography. The first or preliminary one of these series may be found in Vol. i, pp. 52-54 and 74-76. The second, embracing all the items contained in the first, appeared in twenty-six numbers of that periodical, extending from October, 1900 (Vol. 2, No. 5), to January, 1907 (Vol. 4, No. 10). Unless otherwise indicated, all the entries recorded have passed under the eye of the compiler. By far the greater part of what has been written concerning Bermuda has appeared in various periodicals and the publications of learned societies. These writings may roughly be divided into historical and descriptive, and those relating to natural history. Of history, properly speaking, little has appeared; but many descriptive articles have been written by tourists and others who have visited those beautiful islands. Their geographical situation and subtropical fauna and llora early attracted the attention of those interested in scientific phenomena. Soon after beginning this work it became apparent to the compiler that the Bermudas have for the past half-century been a favorite field of the zoologist, botanist, and geologist. Bearing this in mind, a special effort has been made to render the record of their labors as complete as possible. In order to do this, references are made tosome works which are not periodicals, mostly, however, by authors who have also made contributions to periodical literature concerning the flora and fauna of those islands.
