VII. Irregular Transient Visitants. — These birds occur irreg- 

 ularly during the migrations. With certain exceptions they are 

 birds of the interior and breed in the northern United States and 

 British Provinces. Their regular line of migration is down the 

 Mississippi Valley, and their occurrence on the Atlantic coast is 

 more or less infrequent. H'ere are also included species formerly 

 common near New York, bitt now practically extinct within our 

 limits, where, however, they are sometimes found.

VIII. Accidental Visitants. — The homes of the birds included 

 in this class are so far removed from our boundaries that their 

 presence here at any time can be considered only as purely acci- 

 dental. In most cases it is doubtless due to the agency of storms 

 or high winds which drive migrating birds from their course. 

 One-fourth the number given below are Old World birds, and 

 about one-half the total number have been found here but once.
