Systematic list of names, with a few references and iDdication of habitats, in 

 parallel colnmns. European, 503 spp. ; American, 471 sp. European, not North 

 American, 403 J American, not European, '371; 100 spp. thus peculiar to each 

 country. The list was much uaed and quoted, especially by American writers, 

 for several years. 



There are a number of new names, generic and specific, in the list; but as 

 there is no indication which are newly proposed, it is the business of the orni- 

 thologist, and not the duty of the bibliographer, to find them out. The familiar 

 Bonapartean "Nobs" are with lavish impartiality distj^-bnted through the 

 list, not necessarily, however, indicating a new name, but merely that method, 

 happily characterized by Temminck as "am^i la cargaison" , in which Bona- 

 parte was an expert beyond other men. The list has proven full of errors and 

 omissions, though it was perhaps up to the then times, at least as far as Amer- 

 ica was concerned. Of. Ann. Mag. Nat Hist., voL i, 1839, 318 ; Arch, fur Naturg.,

A descriptive, synonynaatic, and geographical list of 491 species systematically 

 arranged, with characters of the genera and higher groups, the main reference 

 being to the plates of the folio ed. of the Birds of Americ .-, to which the 

 present publication serves as a methodical index. The very notable changes 

 throughout in classification and nomenclature from those adopted in the work 

 just mentioned have obviously their source in "W. Macgillivray ; but as the 

 arrangement between him and Audubon was presumedly mutually satisfactory, 

 it is no part of the public's to enquire into their respective Bhare%pin the author- 

 ship of the present volume.
