Tracking Stone’s Tome – Further Information
In Volume 68 of Cassinia, Sandra L. Sherman published an article tracing many of the 1,400 copies of Bird Studies at Old Cape May by Witmer Stone
This article is only a small part of the legacy Sandy left DVOC.
Additional information that has come forth since the publication of the article.The DVOC earnestly seeks corrections or additions to the material in this article. Contact the Webmaster with any additional information. The copy number can be found on the last page of the second volume.
This table is the information DVOC has concerning the 1,400 volumes. The DVOC is indebted to Jeff Holt for his interest in this project. He has gone over Sandy’s original notes to find information on volumes not mentioned in the article plus done extensive original research. He is the “main man” when it comes to this ongoing project. Alan Simon has also contributed extensive research.

Given to Rick Radis by George McCoy in the late 1970s.
George grew up in Philadelphia, his family had a summer place in Stone Harbor, and it was his mother’s set, which he had no interest in keeping; so he gave it to Rick along with a boxful of Stone’s earlier publications on birds, insects, and mammals; and 2 copies of Plants of Southern New Jersey which, as a botanist, Rick treasures and use frequently. Rick remembers George telling him that his mother knew WS in some connection. |

“I purchased this at the Academy of Natural Sciences
as a very young teenager while attending a meeting of the DVOC with a gentleman named Ed Manners and William Middleton. (no close relative) Actually I may have purchased the book later during a visit to the Academy since as I recall the meetings were held when the desk was not open. Despite the age of the volumes, they are in mint condition since I have always valued them highly and kept them in a closed bookcase. I have always wondered whether Mrs. Stone (nee Lafferty) is an extended family member of my Mother, Anna E. Lafferty.” from Darrell N. Middleton |

*** – Temple owns copy 1071. Many libraries used the Temple record for their cataloging. This caused this book to appear in multiple catalogs. Most colleges (including N.C.
