When this book was issued in 1902, comparatively little 

 was known of the birds common to even considerable areas 

 in the large territory covered by its title. Since that 

 time, a fair knowledge of the birds common to such areas 

 has been obtained. 



In this new issue, separate lists and descriptions of the 

 more or less common birds of Puget Sound, of the territory 

 east of the Cascades, and of Southern and Southeastern 

 Oregon, are provided on pages 300 to 308. 



The author believes that the book will be much more 

 serviceable for these localities than it has hitherto been.
