This society was established in 1879 for the purpose of reprinting certain ornithologicalworks of interest for their utility and/or rarity. The Society was dissolved in 1884 owingto lack of support. Twelve original works were reprinted from 1880 to 1884, nine ofwhich are offered below. All are bound in red boards with varying degrees of wear.Most bear the name stamp of previous owner Storrs Olson. Originally offered tosubscribers only, these reprints are scarce.
