The great need of a new catalogue of North American birds, which prompted 

 the i)ublication of this list, is explained in the opening paragraph of the in- 

 troduction, as follows : 



Since the publication, in 1859, of the last Smithsonian catalogue of North 

 American birds, so many important changes have been made in the nomen- 

 clature of the species, and so numerous have been the additions to the fauna, 

 that the wants of ornithologists require a new list which shall bring the sub- 

 ject up to date, 



Swainson's Warbler {Reloncca sivainsoni) in Texas. 



(Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, Jan., 1881, vol. vi, p. 54.) 



The range of this species was previously confined to Northern Florida and 

 the adjacent portions of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina, with some- 

 what doubtful records in Cuba and Southwestern Indiana. Its occurrence in 

 Navarro County, Texas, was communicated to the author by Mr, J, Douglas 

 Ogilby, a correspondent of the National Museum, 



On a Duck new to the North American Fauna. 



(Proc, U, S. N, M., 1881, iv, pp. 22-24.) 



Based upon a specimen of FuUgula rufina (Pall.) (No. 61957) in the U. S. 

 National Museum, obtained in Fulton Market, New York, and presumably shot 

 on Long Island Sound.
