Abstract: | This paper investigates two bibliometric problems: the listing of books in a specialist area (ornithology) and the determination
of the citation pattern to individual authors, who often re-issue their books in later editions. James Bond, a Philadelphia
ornithologist, who specialised in the birds of the West Indies, is used as an example of a naturalist whose long career led
to many journal articles and enduring scientific fame through a well-known book. He also attained some unexpected notoriety
through the use of his name by a popular novelist. Methods for the evaluation of his book and associated bird checklists in
comparison with other similar works are presented on the basis of their citations.
