Although uot a Natioual Museum publication, and only partially prepared by oflBcera of 

 the Mu.seum, this comprohensivo volume was based npon work of the committee charged with 

 its pieparatiou during sessions held in the office and laboratories of the department of birds, 

 upon researches in the Museum library, txamination of specimens in the Museum collection, 

 and critical investigations connected wlUi the regular work of the Department. 



The manuscript of the check-list was prepared chiefly by the curator and assistant curator; 

 Mr. J. A. Allen, president of the Union and member of the committee, adding only the habi- 

 UitA and concordance of numbers. The preparation of this MSS. involved an immense amount 

 of research, rendered necessary in order to determine beyond reasonable question the earliest 

 available name of each species. They also revised carefully galley and paged proofs, not only 

 of the check-list proper, but of the Code of Nomenclature, and conducted an extended corre- 

 si)ondence with other members of the committee, whose work upon the book was chiefly of an 

 advisory nature. The committee was composed of the following members : J. A. Allen, Will- 

 iam Brewster, Elliot Couos, II. "\V. Ilenshaw, and liobert Eidgway. Dr. Leonhard Stejneger 

 took part in the deliberations of the committee and prepared part of the check-list by special 

 invitation.
