Manual of North American Birds. 



Eor the Naturalist and Sportsman. Containing Concise Description of every 

 Species of Bird known in North America, and Illusti-ated by 425 Outline Cuts of 

 the Generic Characters. By Robert Ridgeway, Curator Department of Birds, 

 U. S. National Museum. 



The object of the present volume is to furnish in a convenient manual of North 

 Amei'ica Ornithology, reduced to the smallest compass, by the omission of every- 

 thing that is not ibsolutely necessary for determining tlie character of any given 

 specimen, and including.besides the correct nomenclature of each species, a state- 

 ment of its natural habitat, and other concomitant data. 



Originally pi'ojected by Professor Spencer F. Baird, and based essentially upon 

 the grand national cabinet of American Birds which his energy, ability, and 

 enthusiasm have developed from an unpretentious nucleus into a collection un- 

 rivaled in extent and wholly unique in scientific value, this work may be consid- 

 ered as in a measure, the consumation of a plan conceived by that illustrious nat- 

 uralist, whoseworks represent the highest type of s^ystematic ornithology, and 

 have furnished the model from which the younger generation of ornithologists 

 have drawn their inspiration. 



This "Manual of North American Birds" will serve as a handy book for the 

 Spoi'tsman and traveller, as well as for the resident naturalist.
