Hirundo domestica is the name employed for the Chimney-Swallow (p. 19). It is doubtful if this

 speaks of the ' Catalogue ' as " newly printed " by his friend Dr. Leach.

 " Bibliography " (Bull. U. S. Geol. & Geogr. Survey of the Territories, vol. v. no. 4, pp. 522-528). It 

 appears to be remarkable chiefly for the " synonyms " given by the author, who, in his Preface, says : —
