xiv EDITOR'S PREFACE. 



tences have been transposed or changed in accordance with 

 some marginal notes and suggestions entered by Mr. Minot in 

 his personal copy of " Land-Birds and Game-Birds " and in- 

 tended by him for use in a new edition, but no other liberties 

 of this Mnd have been taken. 



It only remains for me to express my thanks to Mr. Henry 

 A. Purdie and Mr. Walter Faxon for much kind assistance 

 and advice, and to wish the book itself Godspeed.
