Synopsis of the Birds of South Carolina. By Elliott 

 CouEs, M. D. 



The following list is believed to contain all the species occurring in 

 the State, whether as residents, migrants, summer or winter visitants, 

 or of casual appearance. Care has been taken to determine, as far 

 as possible, in every case, to which category the species belongs. 

 The ascertaining of the species that winter in the State is a matter 

 of especial interest in determining the range of migrants; and has 

 therefore been taken into particular consideration. An excellent idea 

 of the distribution of birds along the Atlantic States may be gained 

 by comparison of the present list and those mentioned in the accom- 

 panying foot note.' A good list of Floridan birds would be an accept- 

 able contribution.
