CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE PRELIM-

 COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. 



BY LOUIS S. KOHLER 



Since publishing my list of birds observed by me in the 

 above named county in the Wilson Bulletin, Nos. 72-73, Sep- 

 tember-December 1910, numerous species have been added 

 during the three years which have elapsed since that time 

 which bring the total up to January 1, 1914 to one hundred 

 and forty-six species. 



In addition to these several additions, there were several 

 omissions, viz.: (52) Vesper Spar-row, (64) Rose-breasted 

 Grosbeak, (65) Indigo Bird, and (96) Wilson Warbler, notes 

 on which species will be given in the appended list. 



Also numerous corrections, which more extensive observa-

 care of, together with additional notes on some of the species 

 vvhich have undergone changes as regards their former sta- 

 tus and present distribution.
