SPECIAL DESIDERATA AMONG THE EGGS OF NORTH 

 AMERICAN BIRDS. 



N. B. — The asterisk (*) prefixed indicates that the egg of the species is either 

 entirely unknown to science, or scarcely to be found in any American collec- 

 tion. The numbers are those of the species in the catalogue of North American 

 Birds, published by the Smithsonian Institution, reprinted from the ninth 

 volume of the Pacific Railroad Reports. Many species, however, not entered 

 in this list are wanting in the Smithsonian collection.
