The present volume is intended to supply a want much felt by the author 

 during the course of his ornithological studies, and therefore presumably ex- 

 ppvienced by other workers in the same field; namely, a nomenclature of 

 colors and a compendious dictionary of technical terms used in descriptive 

 ornithology, together with a series of plates or diagrams, illustrating the ex- 

 ternal anatomy of a bird in relation to the terms employed, and such other 

 things as are more clearly expressed by a picture than by a mere definition. 



It has been the earnest endeavor of the author to give this much needed 

 information in the present work; and in order to do so he has spared no 

 pains, having for this purpose procured the finest prepared colors known to 

 modern art, including those of all the best manufacturers, as Winsor & New- 

 ton, George Eowney & Co., and Ackermann, of London, England; Dr. Fr. 

 Schoeufeld & Co., Diisseldorf ; Chenal, Burgeois, Binant, and Lefranc, of 

 Paris; Osborne of Philadelphia, and others. He has, besides, consulted all 

 the authorities accessible to him.
