PEEFAOE. 



THIS volume treats exclusively of birds, and coutains 

 only what Las already been printed in the "Birds and 

 Seasons of New England," omitting those general essays 

 which are contained in the first volume of this series, 

 entitled " Halcyon Days." The reader will perceive that 

 the present classification makes each volume perfectly 

 unique, and not miscellaneous, as published by James R 

 Osgood & Co.
