Bartram's List is here reproduced, verb. lit. punct, saving only 

 omission of certain superfluous subheads of his, and insertion of 

 numbers whereby cross-reference with the commentary which 

 accompanies is facilitated. To ensure accuracy, the press-proofs 

 are corrected from the original, not, as usual, from the MS.cop}'.

 United States. (Trav. N. & S. Car. &c, 1791, 1 pp. 2S-296.' J )] 



[p. 288.] 



Being willing to contribute my mite towards illustrating the 

 subject of the peregrination of the tribes of birds of N. America, 

 I shall subjoin a nomenclature of the birds of passage, agreeable 

 to my observation, when on my travels from New-England to New- 

 Orleans, on the Missiippi, and point of Florida. 



Land birds which are seen in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, 

 N. and S. Carolina, Georgia and Florida, from the sea coast West- 

 ward, to the Apalachian mountains, viz. 



* These arrive in Pennsylvania in the spring season from the 

 South, which after building nests, and rearing their young, return 

 again southerly in the autumn. 



[p. 289.] 



f These arrive in Pennsylvania in the autumn, from the North, 

 where they continue during the winter, and return again the spring 

 following, I suppose to breed and rear their young; and these 

 kinds continue their jo urnies as far South as Carolina and Florida. 



| These arrive in the spring in Carolina and Florida from the 

 south, breed and rear their young, and return south again at the 

 approach of winter, but never reach Pennsylvania or the Northern 

 States. 



| These are natives of Carolina and Florida, where they breed 

 and continue the year round. 



f These breed and continue the year round in Pennsylvania. 



1 The Dublin edition, 1793, contains numerous mere typographical differ- 

 ences, for better or worse. 



2 The pagination of the work is erroneous, in just this place, the number- 

 ing of pp. 289, 290, being repeated, and p. 294 being numbered "492." 

 Curious trap for unwary citators at second hand !
