Check List and Index to Species 86 



*A bird may be so near the dividing line in size 

 as to make it a question in which group to look. 

 Therefor it has been deemed advisable to arrange 

 the species comprising these groups in practically 

 the order of relative size, from largest to smallest, 

 regardless of real relationships. But where re- 

 lated species do not differ greatly in size such 

 species have not been separated, but occur in their 

 established order. 



The numbers given before names of species are 

 those of the American Ornithologists' Union Check- 

 list. In systematic works the species will be found 

 according to these numerals.
