 Baird, Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, with 

 notes by the Naturalists of the Survey, pp. 32, 1 1., pll. coFd 25. 



The whole work is in 2 vols. 4to, but the 2d vol. is usually found bound in 2 

 '*parts", each of which is separately titled and paged; and the several articles 

 in each part are moreover separately titled and paged. Vol. I is the general 

 official report, with which we have here nothing to do. Vol. II, Part I, is the 

 Botany of the Boundary, to which no fewer than seven different title-pages are 

 prefixed in the copy examined. Vol. II, Part II, contains four independent, 

 separately paged and titled articles on the Zoology of the Boundary, the second 

 of which relates to the birds. This article is merely a list of the sptcimens col- 

 lected by the Commission, under the names given by Prof. Baird in the ix. vol. 

 of the Pacific Railroad Beports (where the species are all worked up), with field- 

 notes on some of them by various naturalists of the Survey. The lext is there- 

 fore comparatively unimportant ; but it is accompanied by 25 beautiful colored 

 plates, which confer great value. PI. i, Scopa McCalli; ii, Trogon " mcxicanus'' ;

 this article, it will be advisable to quote it simply aa " Baird, U. S. and Mex.
