LOCAL NAMES. 



For some time I have been jotting down the local names of our birds 

 whenever opportunity afforded the means. I append a few examples 

 from my own neighborhood. Some are in common use, others are sel- 

 dom heard, but are nevertheless as deep rooted as the oldest scientific 

 names used bv our ornithologists, and perhaps much more so.
