[A.l CHECK LIST OF OHIO BIRDS, WITH DATES OF THEIR 



OCCURRENCE. 



As stated in the introduction, the nomenclature of Dr. Coues's Check 

 List is that adopted in the preceding pages. Since the publication of 

 that list, many changes have been made by Dr. Coues and others, affect- 

 ing the nomenclature of our birds.- Such changes as were generally 

 accepted prior to 1880 have been adopted. 



In the following pages I have adopted the nomenclature and order of 

 Mr. Ridgway's Check List.* 



In this list not only the nomenclature but the order will be found 

 changed from that of the foregoing pages, but in no case is this believed 

 to be so complete as to prevent a ready recognition. 



The number following the common name is the number in Mr. Ridg- 

 way's list. No systematic attempt to record the arrival and departure 

 of birds has been made, the dates being simply the records of ordinary 

 observation and collections. Unless otherwise noted these dates apply 

 to birds observed in the vicinity of Columbus, so that, excluding the 

 birds unnoted, we have a list of the birds of Franklin county. 



Two birds in the list being introduced species, and not indigenous to 

 the United States, are not numbered. Species whose occurrence must be 

 considered purely accidental are numbered in brackets. 



The list gives 292 species, 4 of which are represented by additional 

 varieties, and 2 introduced species, making a total of 298 species and 

 varieties. Of these 6 are considered accidental.
