The Catalogue of Canadian Birds was published in three parts, 
the first appearing in 1900 and the last in 1904. 
In it were enumerated systematically all the known birds of 
Canada together with the principal facts in regard to their distribu- 
tion, migrating and breeding habits. The interest taken in this sub- 
ject by the public was evinced by the reception accorded the cata- 
logue, the stock being exhausted almost immediately after publica- 
tion. Inthe present edition much of the matter has been re-written 
and many additional facts recorded and the whole combined into 
one volume.
