SIXTH REPOUT — 1836. 



AVES. 



The birds, having always been objects of interest to collect- 

 ors and artists, are better known than the other animal pro- 

 ductions of North America. Edwards at an early period figured 

 thirty-eight species from Hudson's Bay ; the natural history 

 appendices to the recent arctic voyages contain full lists of 

 those which frequent the sea-coasts in the higher latitudes, and 

 the second volume of the Faioia Boreali-AmericcDia has made 

 known some new species, which, migrating through the great 

 central valleys of the Mississippi and Mackenzie, or crossing 

 the Rocky Mountains from California, had escaped the notice 

 of the ornithologists of the eastern states *. Good lists are still 

 wanted of the Labrador and Canadian birds, and also local cata- 



Note. — An (*) is prefxcd to the doultful species.
