LIST OF ADDITIONS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN 

 AVIFAUNA AND OF ELIMINATIONS AND 

 CHANGES IN NOMENCLATURE PRO- 

 POSED SINCE THE PUBLICA- 

 TION OF THE A. O. U. 

 CHECK-LIST. 



BY FRANK M. CHAPMAN. 



Since the publication of the ' Check-List' in March, iSS6, the 

 additions and corrections to our avifauna have been so numerous 

 it has been considered advisable to collate them, and the follov\'- 

 ing compilation is presented with a hope that it may be of some 

 service to the many workers in North American Ornithology. 



It may be well to add that the compiler has made it an object to 

 include all the additions and changes which have been made 

 without reference to their tenability.
