Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Annals of the Carnegie Museum, Vol. 14: 1922 The present volume is set aside for the presentation of a mono graphic paper on the Birds of the Santa Marta Region of Colombia by Messrs. W. E. Clyde Todd and M. A. Carriker, Jr. Long before the buildings which now house the Carnegie Institute were even planned, much less erected, the question of the scope and special work of the Carnegie Museum was taken up and carefully dis cussed with the generous Founder by the writer, and it was decided that among other things it would be especially desirable to carry on researches upon the natural history and resources of tropical America. Mr. Carnegie always was deeply interested in the republics of the south, and signally evidenced his interest by the gift of the pan-amer ican Building in Washington, and by active participation in all efforts tending to bring about friendly and harmonious relations with our sister republics, which lie beneath the Southern Cross.
