List of the North American Birds (North of Mexico) in the 

 Boston Museum Collection. 



Note.— Synonyms imposed by Wilson, Bonaparte, or Ord, are 

 added, because so many of the types of these authors were deposited 

 in the Peale Museum. The numbers in parentheses indicate the num- 

 ber of specimens called for by the Boston Museum labels and show 

 the loss of specimens since the birds were removed from their stands.
