here and elsewhere, and for the last three years to Prof. W. W. 

 Cooke, who has revised my names frequently and given me every 

 assistance in his power in preparing my list. Lastly to Mr. John 

 A. Loomis, of Silvercliff Ranche, I am indebted for much assis- 

 tance in my later work in Concho County, and who has been 

 able to extend my list considerably, especially among the Game 

 Birds and Raptores, as will be noted in connection with various
