INDEX. 



INDEX TO SCIENTIFIC NAMES. 



(When several species belong to one genus, they have been here given in the same 

 order in which they are lettered. The Arabic figures refer to pages, unless preceded by a 

 section-mark, when they refer to the families, as numbered in this volume. The letters in 

 parenthesis stand for authorities, or originators of the scientific names ; A for Audubon, 

 BD for Baird, B for Boie, BP for Bonaparte, C for Cabanis, CU for Cuvier, G for Gray, L 

 for Linnceus, S for Swainson, V for Vieillot, and W for Wilson. Names occurring less often 

 are given in full. When one name is authority for both genus and species, it is given but 

 once. When there are two authorities, the latter is usually given in ordinary mention of 

 the bird ; i. e. Ampelis cedrorum, BAIRD. It may be observed that most of the scientific 

 names in the index will not be found in other than modern works, and often not in all of 

 those. (The sign ' marks the accent.)
