1875. Brewek, T. M. Catalogue of the Birds of New England, with brief 

 notes indicating the manner and character of their presence ; with 

 a list of species included in previous catalogues believed to have 

 been wrongly classed as Birds of New England. < Proc. Bost. Soc. 

 Nat. Hist., xvii, 1875, pp. 436-454. Also sep. pub. Bvo pauiph., 1875, 

 pp.21. 



336 spp., fully annotated ; followed by a critical commentary on the claims of 

 29 more to be included In the fauna of Kew England. The -writer eliminates 

 from the New England list 29 spp. which had been admitted by other writers, 

 especially Coues ; these being " in his judgment" not entitled to place. A verj' 

 few species are given additional to Coues's Li.st of lt68. Stragglers are marked 

 by asterisk. " It has been my sole aim to furnish a list that shall be reliable so 

 far as it goes. I may have omitted some that are entitled to a place. Be it so ; 

 I had rather omit ten that may be found, than include one that never has been." 

 Such stringency is unfavorable to a scientific method of cowipiZwij/ a local avi- 

 fauna. Cf. The Independent (newspaper), Oct. 7, 1875.
