ADDITIONS AND CORKEC TI ON 



In November, 1899, a small edition of the first Appendix to this 

 catalogue was issued, but the catalogue itself was withheld. It is now 

 published with the first appendix printed as it then appeared. Through 

 an inadvertence I quite overlooked Mr. Cory's Review of the Birds of 

 the West Indies printed in the Auk for October, 1891, thus in two 

 cases I have used names in describing birds that he had used for differ- 

 ent species of the same genera (see Nos. 53 and 268). Corrections, 

 in the catalogue and additions, changes etc. in it, appear in the follow- 

 ing pages, approximately bringing the catalogue up to date. I have 

 not, however, for several reasons, always given all of the generic 

 changes that Mr. Ridgeway has given in hisBirds of North and Middle 

 America, or that have been recently published by other authors. 



Believing, as I do, that sub-specific names should be given only to 

 birds which intergrade with allied forms through intermingling at 

 points of actual contact, I cannot consider insular forms as sub-specific, 

 for they are barred by isolation from this intergradation. 



Types of the species described mentioned as being in my collection 

 are now in the Bangs Collection.
