The numbers, classification and nomenclature used are those of 

 the American Ornithologists' Union. For reference to the original 

 description of genera and species, as well as a detailed statement of 

 their distribution, the reader is directed to the A. O. U. check-list of 

 North American birds. 



Since this paper was presented before the Academy of Science, 

 several species have been added to the list, some have been dropped, 

 and many records of rare or uncommon birds have been inserted.
