	Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		When Elliott Coues explained in 1864 that he had been ordered west to "shoot up the country between the Rio Grande and the Rio Colorado" he was referring to the fauna rather than to the Indians who were harassing so much of the area.
		Coues' enthusiasm for gathering specimens, admittedly before conservation was a matter of concern, made notable inroads on the avifauna of the country through which he passed and took a lesser toll of mammals and reptiles.
		Coues spent part of his later army career in the West, including service with the Hayden surveys from 1876 to 1880, and was again, "much to his disgust," stationed in Arizona in 1880.

	DR. ELLIOTT COUES-A SKETCH
		Elliott Coues--A Sketch 221 The practice of medicine seems never to have been an absorbing interest with him, yet he was intensely interested in the subject of anatomy, and after resigning from the army in 1881 he lectured for ten years on this subject in the medical school from which he had been graduated.
		Coues made many long and wearisome journeys to know at first hand the wanderings of these explorers, and to locate the places mentioned in their journals.
		Elliott Coues was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, September 9, 1842.

	Birds and All Nature: The Late Dr. Elliott Coues
		He edited all the publications of the United States geological and geographical survey of the territories from 1876 to 1880 and contributed several volumes to the reports of the survey, notably his "Birds of the Northwest," "Fur Bearing Animals," "Birds of the Colorado Valley," and several installments of a universal Bibliography of Ornithology.
		The latter work attracted especial attention in Europe, and Dr. Coues was signally complemented by an invitation, signed by Darwin, Huxley, Flower, Newton, Sclater, and about forty other leading British scientists to take up his residence in London and identify himself with the British Museum.
		Coues also projected and had well under way a "History of North American Mammals," which was ordered to be printed by act of Congress when suddenly, at the very height of his scientific researches and literary labors, he was ordered by the war department to routine medical duty on the frontier.

		Elliott Coues’s approach to collecting was still informed by his sense of nature’s infinite resources, ready to be grabbed by the collector’s greedy hand
		Paul Russell Cutright and Michael Brodhead’s biography features the most prominent naturalist Elliott Coues, who started out as a specimen-collector in the tradition of the Peales and then became a veritable fact machine, meatgrinding a large part of the American fauna into heavy tomes of dense taxonomic detail and cheerful advice for other aspiring naturalists.
		Coues backed this claim up, somewhat incautiously, by referring to God’s interest in the most insignificant of birds: “Not a sparrow falleth to the ground without His notice.” But the house sparrow was, in fact, the one bird species Coues wished off the face of the earth, or at least the American part of it.
