Ray Erickson has asked me to sell part of his natural history library as he
prepares to move. I receive a percentage commission. Ray was a Malheur
biologist and also worked for FWS in DC and elsewhere. Almost all of these
items are in very good+ condition and bear his personal stamp or signature,
thus only exceptional situations are noted below. Many of these are rare
standard references now available only in large libraries. A couple of
items are strays not from Erickson.

All prices include shipping. Make checks to me. I offer discounts for
items that I do not have to ship (i.e. that buyers can pick up in Eugene or
at my convenience as I travel in Oregon) and for purchases of multiple
items. Feel free to offer less, maybe it won=B9t sell at the stated price.
All items are first-come, first served. All items have a ten-day free
refund if you are not satisfied.

Note to those with trading fodder: I am looking for early AOU Check-lists
(1957, 1931 and earlier), loose volumes of Ridgway=B9s Birds of North and
Middle America and anything on Oregon ornithology.

VG =3D very good condition, no scribbling or noticeable internal damage oth=
er
than minor marks.
