Note. — As authority for names of species in this work, the original 

 describer of the species is alone given. The name is written in full 

 except in case of Linnaeus, abbreviated as " L." 



In case the original combination of general and specific name is 

 still retained, the name of the author is printed without parentheses. 

 In case, however, the original describer placed the species in question 

 in a genus different from the one here adopted, the author's name is 

 enclosed in parentheses. 



Thus (page 277), " Corvus corax L." means that Linnaeus placed his 

 species corax in Corvus, where it still remains. 



" Melanerpes erythrocephalus (L.)," indicates that the species (Picus 

 erythrocephalus of Linnaeus) is now placed in a genus different from 

 the one in which it originally stood. Melanerpes is a modern subdi- 

 vision of Pints, which formerly included all Woodpeckers. 



" Eu." indicates that the species in question is also found in Europe. 



Additional Note on Upsilonphorus (page 156). — Two species 

 of this genus are found on our coast : 443. TJ. y-graecum, described 

 in the text, and 443 (b). U. guttatus (Abbott), with the white spots 

 less distinct, and the Y on top of head short and broad, its basal part 

 about as broad as long. In U. y-groecum the Y is slender, its basal part 

 long. U. guttatus is the more common northward.
