"Range in the breeding-season must fonn the basis for defining the limits of 

 different ornithological districts .... Among migrants of the same species 

 the examples which ariive in spring the earliest are bigger and more brightly 

 tinted than those which come later, and, conversely, on their return the exam- 

 ples last seen are bigger than the summer specimens. Hence it would .appear 

 that the Largest individn.als are those which go furthest north in summer, and, 

 he also add.s, are those which live further north in winter. Some character- 

 istics of the ornithological provinces of North America are next briefly men- 

 tioned ; and then follow the lists of the species observed, as stated in the 

 title. In Iowa about 108 or 110 species were seen, of which at least 100 breed in 

 the State. For Illinois two lists are given, one of 84 species in Ogle County, the 

 other of 94 species in Cook County. At Richmond 72 species were observed by 

 himself and Dr. Haymond. Some critical notes on supposed species (Turdidce, 

 Laridce) are added in the course of the paper." — From Zool. Bee.
