pendix some species then about being published. It is issued in two forms; 

 one, as separate pamphlet, with title as above; the other, as forming the latter 

 half, separately paged, of the same author's Field Ornithology (1874). The spe- 

 cies are numbered consecutively from 1 to 635, the numerous "varieties" not 

 being numbered, excepting when a variety is the only North American repre- 

 sentative of a species. The fossil spp. are 29 in number. The List contains a 

 very few species discovered since the author's Key to North American Birds 

 was published; otherwise, the arrangement and nomenclature are identical with 

 those of that work. Various additions and corrections, however, are given in 

 the appendix. The names are printed only on one side of the page, to leave 

 room for MS. notes and in order that the List may be cut up for labelling pur- 

 poses if desired.

2 woodcc. > Appendix. Ornithology of the Prybilov Islands. 

 By Dr. Elliott Coues, U. S. A. 



The ornithological portion, based on Mr. Elliott's MSS. and collections, con- 

 sists of a formal treatise on the birds of the island, with considerable synonymy 

 and other technicality, but with special reference to the habits of the species. 

 Tringa ptilocnemis (nota, sub T. "crassirostris"), sp. n. The article is literally 

 reprinted in Elliott's "A Report upon the Condition of Affairs in the Territory 

 of Alaska" (8vo, Washington, 1875). A digest of the zoological matter, includ- 

 ing the ornithology, with some extraneous matter, was published by J. E. Hart- 

 ing (8vo, London, 1874, from letters to The Field newspaper). The original 

 edition is very scarce, fetching $50 to $75. The impression was of only 125 

 copies, "75 to the Secretary of the Treasury, 50 to the Library of Congress," 

 and the types wore distributed without stereotyping. The work was never in 

 the trade, the few copies purchasable mainly coming from a very particular 

 source. The 8vo leprint of the ornithology is the same as the original, e. & o. e.
