APPENDIX. 
Tae whole number of birds belonging to the fauna of 
eastern Massachusetts is two hundred and ninety-nine,* 
as will be seen by the Catalogue. Of these twelve have 
been recently added, viz.: the Varied Thrush (7urdus 
mevius), the Tennessee Warbler (/elminthophaga pere- 
grina), the Baird’s Sparrow (Centronye Bairdii), the Gray 
King-Bird (Zyrannus Dominicensis), the Yellow-headed 
Blackbird (Xanthocephalus icterocephalus), the Barn Owl 
(Stric pratincola), the Hawk Owl (Surnia udula), the Stilt 
Sandpiper (Aficropalama himantopus), the Yellow-crowned 
Night Heron (Vyctherodius violaceus), the Sandwich Tern 
(Sterna cantiaca), the White Pelican (Pelecanus erythro- 
rhynchus), and the Brown Pelican (Pelecanus fuscus). 
In the following tables may be found a classification of 
* The whole number of species given by Mr. J. A. Allen, in the ‘ Pro- 
ceedings of the Essex Institute,” Vol. 1V. No. 2, August, 1864, as occurring 
in the State, was two hundred and ninety-six. Of these, three have not 
been found in eastern Massachusetts, viz. : Helminthophaga celata, Em- 
pidonnz Acadicus, and Centurus Carolinus. Those given upon doubtful or 
insufficient evidence as birds of eastern Massachusetts, which are not in- 
eluded in the present list, are nine, viz.: Parus Hudsonicus, Cardinclis 
Virginianus, gialitis Wilsonius, Anser hyperboreus, Anser Gambelii, Ber- 
nicla Hutchinsii, Bernicla leucopsis, Procellaria glacialis, and Sterna ara- 
nea. Sixteen species are added in Mr. Allen’s supplement (‘ American 
Naturalist,” Vol. III., pp. 505-619, 568-585, 631-648, 1869), after ex- 
punging four species from the previous list, — increasing his catalogue to 
three hundred and eight. Out of these, three are birds of western Massa- 
chusetts, viz.: Nauclerus furcatus, Seiurus Ludovicianus, and Serinus meri- 
dionalis. Two of those given in his supplement as birds of eastern Massa- 
chusetts are not included in the present Catalogue, viz.: Buteo Cooper (not 
included, for reasons given on page 135) and Curduelis eleguns, which, 
as Mr. Allen justly remarks, was probably an escaped cage-bird.
