1866. Barro, 8. F. The Distribution and Migration of North American 
Birds. From Am. Journal of Science, vol. 41, 1866, pp. 78-90, 184-192, 337-347. 
A carefully written paper, quoted in this connection because of its bearing on 
the general subject of the geographical relations of our fauna. 
1871. Covers, Etitiorr, M.D. The Yellow-headed Blackbird. From Ameri- 
can Naturalist, vol. V, June 1871, p. 91. 
Extracts from the author’s diary for a part of May, 1864, during the journey 
through Kansas. Twenty-three species of birds, not mentioned in the article in 
The Ibis, 1865, already quoted, are here given. First record for Tringa maculata, 
Myiarchus crinitus, Contopus vireus, Piranga erythromelas, Vireo gilvus, Vireo 
noveboracensis, Seiurus aurocapillus. The slender-billed nuthatch is also named 
as occurring near Fort Riley, but this is evidently an error of identity. 
1872. Snow, F.H. A Catalogue of the Birds of Kansas. From Kansas Edu- 
cational Journal (newspaper) for April, 1872, vol. 8, pp. 376-383. 
A defective list of 239 species, some contributed by Dr. T. M. Brewer; breed- 
ers marked by an asterisk. This was the list criticized by Doctor Allen and de- 
fended by Mr. Brewer in the American Naturalist, vol. 6, pp. 359, 482. This 
discussion resulted in the addition of many species to the list and the issue of a 
new and corrected edition of the catalogue.

state of the following species: Colymbus auritus, Podilymbus podiceps, Urina-
