MIGRATION LISTS. When beginning to keep migration 

 records, it will be a help to consult a local list of the same 

 general region. For this purpose three are given here, one 

 of the latitude of Washington, D. C., made by Mr. William 

 Palmer ; one for the latitude of Portland, Connecticut, by 

 Mr. John H. Sage ; and one for St. Louis, compiled from 

 migration lists of Mr. Otto Widmann, in the files of the 

 Biological Survey. 1
