Note. — The black-faced numbers indicate that the subject is illustrated upon the 

 page cited. In such cases the subject may be referred to only in the explanation of the 

 plate, or it may also be referred to in the text. Scientific names used in the text have 

 been segregated and appear as an INDEX to SCIENTIFIC NAMES. Vernacular names 

 in English are entered twice as Crow, Hawaiian, and Hawaiian Crow; Hawaiian names 

 are entered but once. The work is so fully indexed that it will serve as a synonomy of 

 the common names in current use. Frequently, where Hawaiian and English names are 

 given as Alae (Hawaiian galliuule), both names should be consulted for additional informa- 

 tion on the species. The important subjects treated are indexed very fully with the object 

 of rendering the volume useful to teachers and students as a collateral reference book. 

 Notes, explanation of terms, etc., appear iu small type, and are alphabetically arranged, 

 usuallv without reference to the text.
