SEVENTH SUPPLEMENT TO THE AMERICAN ORNI- 
THOLOGISTS’ UNION CHECK-LIST OF 
NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. 
Since the publication of the Sixth Supplement to the A. O. U. 
Check-List the Committee on Classification and Nomenclature of 
North American Birds has held two sessions, having in hand 
the preparation of a new edition of the Check-List, as well 
as current questions relating to species and subspecies, and to 
changes in nomenclature proposed since the preparation of its 
last report (¢ Auk, XI, 1894, pp. 46-51). The sessions of the 
Committee were held in Washington, Jan. 15-18, 1894, and Feb. 
12, 13, 1895, all the members of the Committee being present. 
In view of the proposed early publication of the second edition 
of the Check-List, all questions known to the Committee were 
considered, including nearly all of those originating in the present 
(April) number of ‘The Auk.’ Some of the latter still await final 
action.
