APPENDIX. 



I HERE append the following list of additional species, which occur 

 or have occurred within the limits of New England. As will be 

 perceived, the greater number can be regarded only as occasional 

 or accidental visitors ; and, indeed, some of the species are deemed 

 by ornithologists as of doubtful existence, — as, for instance, Small- 

 headed Flycatcher, Wood Wren, &c. 



I am under special obligations to Mr. Henry A. Purdie for 

 many valuable suggestions and facts in relation to the times of 

 arrival, distribution, breeding habits, &c., of many of the species 

 described in the body of the work, and mentioned in the Appendix.
