Abstract

Biographical information is presented for each of the fifteen observers from Texas who participated in the A.O.U.-sponsored migration study of1884-1885. William Lloyd, G. H. Ragsdale, H.F. Peters, Ira B. Henry, Walter Negley, and H. P. Attwater were the major contributors. The observations of these pioneer naturalists have been widely cited in the literature and provide a unique perspective on the birdlife of Texas prior to the ecological alterations of the 20th century.
