BROOKE MEANLEY's JOURNAL ARTICLES and RELATED NON-MONOGRAPHIC WRITINGS AND
REPORTS.

Part 1:  1936-1956.

Brooke passed away on August 19.

This, admittedly imperfect, list is compiled primarily from secondary
sources, including citations in various state monographs, Brooke's own
works, books, and SORA (Searchable Ornithological Research Archive;
http://elibrary.unm.edu/sora).  These writings cover a period of 61 years.

Special thanks to Roger B. Clapp of the U. S. National Museum of Natural
History (Smithsonian) for a list of c. 140 citations and also to Chandler
S. Robbins for bringing to my attention various reports in the Patuxent
Wildlife Research Center (P.W.R.C.) library.  
The SORA citations are useful but do not give page numbers and also have
the idiosyncracy of citing a 3-month range.  Perhaps I am not using the
proper search strategy in SORA.  Another SORA problem is that journals are
cited under their latest name., e.g., Bird-banding, morphed into the
Journal of Field Ornithology, is not cited, even when articles that
appeared in Bird-banding are cited by SORA.  Instead they are cited as
being in the Journal of Field Ornithology, as with the 1961 article by
Meanley & Webb on Red-winged Blackbird populations (q.v.).

This explains some, but not all, of the inconsistencies (and probable
inaccuracies) in the listings that follow and also shows the danger of
relying on secondary sources as opposed to original documents.  So ...
anyone using my own list here should recognize that if you cite it in turn
your citations will be in many cases a tertiary source.  

If there are articles not included below (I'm almost certain there are) I
would appreciate knowing of them.  Thank you.

In some cases I have used state abbreviations simply in order to shorten a
citation.

Brooke's interests lay mainly with rails (especially King, Clapper, Black,
and Sora), Swainson's Warbler, blackbirds, the Great Dismal Swamp, the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia, Arkansas, and the American
Southeast in general, including natural history in addition to birds.  His
articles concern birds and wildlife in these states especially:  Maryland,
Virginia, Arkansas, and Georgia.

One way to pay tribute to the man is to remember his writings.
