23 BIRDS OF OHIO. 



Sim. Most of the work in Erie and Huron counties has 

 been without company. 



From the foregoing remarks it will be clear that a consid- 

 erable portion of the state remains to be explored ornitho- 

 logically, particularly in the south and west. Some per- 

 sons with considerable leisure ought to be posted along our 

 southern and western borders to watch for invasions of 

 species from Kentucky and Indiana. I earnestly hope that 

 the appearance of this catalogue will mark the beginning 

 of an era of unusual activity in the study of the birds of our 

 fair state.
