\hc text of the preceding edition has hccii thoroughly 

 revised and niuch ol it rewritten. I he notnenchiture and 

 ranges of the latest edition of the "Cheek-List" of the 

 American Ornitholopjists' Union have been adopted. 

 Migration records from Oherlin, ()hi(), (ilen TJlyn, 111., 

 and Southeastern Minnesota, numerous nesting dates for 

 every species, and many biogra[)hical references have 

 been added ; the descriptions of plumage emended to 

 represent the great increase in our knowledge of this 

 branch of ornithology; and, in short, the work has been 

 enlarged to the limit imposed by true handbook si/.e and 

 br(jught fully up-to-date. 



In addition to possessing all the features which made 

 the old "Handbook" at once popular and authoritative, 

 the new "Handbook" contains an Introduction of over 

 i(K) pages on "How to Study the liirds in Nature," 

 whicli will be of the utmost value to all students of liv- 

 ing birds. 



The subjects of distribution, migration, song, nesting, 

 color, food, structure and habit, intelligence, and allied 

 problems are here treated in a manner designed to arouse 

 interest and stimulate and direct original observation. 



A Biographical Appendix, giving the titles to all the 

 1ea(bng works and papers (including faunal lists) on the 

 Birds of Kastern North America, shows just what has 

 been published on the birds of a given region, a matter 

 of the first importance to the local student.
