clatitro of each species, a statement of its natural habitat, and other concomitant data. The 

 classification, numeration, and nomenclatuie conform strictly with the "Check List of North 

 American Birds " recently published by the American Ornithologists' Union. The geographical 

 liulits of the worli also conform to those adopted by tlie American Ornithologists' Union ; but 

 it has been deemed advisable, for tlie special benefit of observers or investigators along our 

 southern border, to include iu the synopsis all Mexican, Cuban, and Baharaan species of each 

 Korth American genus, and also, in the keys to the geuera, additional Mexican genera. Spe- 

 cial exception to geograjihical limitation has been made in the case of the Petrels and Alba^ 

 trosses, pelagic birds whose fortuitous wanderings render it possible for almost any species 

 to occur in our waters as an accidental visitor. The frontisxjiece is an excellent engraving 

 of the late Prof. Spencer F. Baird.
