 figure of Plate XXXII of Naumann's Vogel Deutschlands.

ADDITIONS TO THE AVI-FAUNA OF ILLINOIS, WITH 

 NOTES ON OTHER SPECIES OF ILLINOIS BIRDS. 



BY E. W. NELSON. 



Since the publication of Mr. R. Ridgway's " Catalogue of the 

 Birds ascertained to occur in Illinois," * several species not named 

 therein have been taken in the State, and many interesting notes 

 respecting other little-known species have been gathered. Only the 

 most important of the latter will be noticed in the present paper.
