LISTS OF BIEDS 



OBSERVED AT WASHINGTON, D. C. ; PHILADELPHIA, PA. ; 

 PORTLAND, CONN. ; CAMBRIDGE, MASS. ; ST. LOUIS, MO. ; 

 OBERLIN, O., AND MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



THE dates given in the preceding review of the 

 bird-life of the year will not, of course, hold good for 

 localities far removed from the vicinity of New York 

 city. Notes from various localities on the birds in- 

 cluded in ' ' Bird-Life ' ' are, therefore, appended as a 

 guide to students living in other parts of the eastern 

 United States. These notes have been generously 

 contributed by ornithologists whose long-continued 

 observations make them the authorities on the birds 

 of the sections from which they write.*
