THE BIRDS OF ONEIDA COUNTY. 103 



We submit the list to our bird-loving friends, for what it is 

 worth, only adding in conclusion, that every item of which we 

 have not personal knowledge, is so given, with our authority; and 

 that our principal effort has been, not to make the list as large as 

 possible, but to make it positively accurate.
