  in 
  American 
  oraithology 
  but 
  we 
  have 
  decided 
  to 
  employ 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  

   present 
  volume, 
  as 
  this 
  is 
  the 
  system 
  most 
  generally 
  familiar 
  here. 
  For 
  

   the 
  use 
  of 
  those 
  students 
  who 
  do 
  not 
  have 
  access 
  to 
  Sharpe's 
  Hand- 
  List 
  

   and 
  Ridgwa3''s 
  Catalogue, 
  w^hich 
  unfortunately 
  is 
  not 
  yet 
  completed, 
  wo 
  

   add 
  for 
  comparison 
  the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  the 
  orders 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  birds, 
  

   numbered 
  in 
  order 
  of 
  sequence, 
  as 
  they 
  appear 
  in 
  the
