This bibliography contains only the main secondary sources for this study. The numerous newspaper and magazines consulted are all cited in the main text. Similarly, I have not cited every one of the memoirs of animal collectors and naturalists which were also consulted: it is sufficient to say that almost everyone whose name appears in this book left at least one volume of memoirs and these can easily be sourced by the curious reader.
