84 Third Supplement to the A. O. U. Check- List. [January 



of an annual Supplement to the Check-List, the Committee, in 

 behalf of its successors, begs to call the attention of describers 

 of species and subspecies to the fact that without their cooperation 

 its work will be in large part futile, since, without having the types, 

 or other authentic material representing the new forms before it, 

 the Committee cannot take the responsibility of giving an opinion 

 upon the claims of such forms to recognition. The Committee 

 therefore respectfully I'equests that describers of new forms of 

 North American birds will kindly transmit to the Committee, 

 for use at its annual session, such types or other material as will 

 facilitate its work. 



The present SupjDlement consists of I, Additions ; II, Elim- 

 inations', III, Changes of JVojiienclature ; IV, Forms consid- 

 ered as not entitled to Recognition ; V, Proposed changes of 

 Nomenclature rejected ; VI, Action deferred from lack of 

 material ; VII, Species entered in the Check- List as Acciden- 

 tal^ but now considered as of regular occurrence. 



The number at the left of the scientific name facilitates collation 

 with the Check-List. The interpolated species and subspecies 

 are numbered in accordance with the provisions made therefor 

 in the Code of Nomenclature. (See page 14, last paragraph.)
