INDEX. 



Note. — (1) Scientific names of birds consisting of two or three terms are entered but once, under the genus; as, 

 Turdus musMinus. (2) But Temacular names of two terms are entered twice ; as, Wood thrush, and Thrush, wood. 

 (3) Anatomical and other technical terms are fully indexed as occurring in Part II., where they are defined and ex- 

 plained; 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 cliaracters there noted. (5) Names merely 

 appearing in the text, not as headings, are untnlly not indexed ; many such, however, will be found, especially such aa 

 are not elsewhere formally treated. (C) 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 pests, 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.
