36. Dendroica pennsylva7iica, (No. 297,) is credited to "Snow, 

 1872, on authority of Brewer." It was in my third edition, 1875, on 

 my own authority, from a specimen taken along the Wakarusa river, 

 April 30, 1873, by student Geo. F. Gaumer. It is No. 209 of my col- 

 lection of Kansas bird skins. 



37. Wilsonia pusilla, (No. 314,) is credited to "Snow, 1872, on 

 authority of Brewer." It was in my third edition, 1875, on my own 

 authority, from a specimen taken in Wakarusa township, near Law- 

 rence, May 17, 1873, by student N. J. Stephens, which is No. 245 of 

 my skin collection, and another specimen taken by Dr. Louis Wat- 

 son, at Ellis, September 30, 1875, which is No. 567 of my collection. 



38. Anthus spraguei, (No. 318,) credited to Goss for first record, 

 should have been credited to me, as I published it in Transactions 

 Kansas Academy Science, volume VI, page 38, as an addition to my 

 catalogue, a specimen taken at Ellis in November, 1877, having been 

 sent me by Doctor Watson. 



39. Parus atricapillus, (No. 334,) entered without historical 

 credit, should have been assigned to "Snow, 1872." 



40. Regulus satrapa, (No. 336,) credited to "Snow, 1892," should 

 have been "Snow, 1872." 



In conclusion, I present the following 



TWENTIETH CENTURY EDITION 



OF MY 



CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF KANSAS. 



In this, my fifth edition, I have omitted all species whose occurrence in Kan- 

 sas cannot be verified by actual captures since the opening of the University of 

 Kansas, in September, 1866. * 



I. — Family Podicipid.e. Grebes. 



1. ^chmophorus occidentalis Lawr. Western Grebe. Accidental. 



2. Colymbus auritus Linn. Horned Grebe. Migratory; rare. 



3. Colymbus nigricoUis californicue Heerm. American Eared Grebe. Migra- 



tory. 



4. Podilymbus podiceps Linn. Pied-billed Grebe. A rare summer resident; 



an abundant migrant. 



♦Fourteen species have thus been omitted, these species having been inserted in my first 

 and second editions, 1872, on the authority of Dr. T. M. Brewer and Prof. Spencer F. Baird, 

 communicated to me in personal letters. Although no manuscript authority could be more 

 decisive than was thus secured for the insertion of these species, inasmuch as thirty years 

 have now elapsed during which no specimens of them have been taken in Kansas, I prefer 

 to exclude them from this Revised Catalogue. The omitted species are the following: Mer- 

 ganser serrator (the Red-breasted Merganser), Numonius hudsonicus (the Hudsonian Cur- 

 lew), Charadrius squatarola (the Black-bellied Plover), iEgialitis meloda circumcincta (the 

 Belted Piping Plover), Empidonax flaviventris (the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher), Pinicola 

 canadensis (the Pine Grosbeak), Poospiza bilineata (the Black-throated Finch), Loxia 

 curvirostra minor (the American Crossbill), Loxia leucoptera (the White-winged Crossbill), 

 Helminthophila chrysoptera (the Golden-winged Warbler), Dendroica dominica albilora 

 (the Sycamore Warbler), Dendroica virens, (the Black-throated Green Warbler), Thryo- 

 manes bewickii (Bewick's Wren), and Hylocichla fuscescens (Wilson's Thrush).
