INDEX.

 wood. 13) Anatomical aud other technical terms are fully indexed as occurring in Part II., where they are 

 detiued and explained; but not as occurring in Parts III. and IV., where tliey are simply used in describing 

 birds. (4) Names of birds, both scientific and vernacular, are fully indexed as occurring in Parts III. and IV., 

 but usually not as incidentally occurring in Parts I. and II. in illustration of the zoological and anatomical 

 characters there noted. (5) Names merely appearing in the text, not as headings, are usually not indexed; many 

 such, however, will be found, especially such as are not elsewhere formally treated. (6) Synonyms, both scientific 

 and vernacular, are indexed. (7) Matters of field-work and taxidermy treated in Part I. are fully indexed by 

 one or more leading words; as. Insect j)esfs, and Pests, insect- (8) Names of persons mentioned or of authors 

 quoted are not indexed. (9) The whole work is so fully indexed that the Index will serve as a glossary of the 

 terminology of ornithology. (10) All the figures refer to pages.
