INDEX. 
Nore. —(1) Scientific names of birds consisting of two terms are entered but once, under the genus; as, 
Turdus mustelinus, (2) But vernacular names of two terms are entered twice; as, Wood thrush, and Thrush, 
wood, (3) Anatomical and other technical terms are fully indexed as occurring in Part II., where they are 
defined and explained; but not as occurring in Parts III. and IV., where they are simply used in describing 
birds. (4) Names of birds, both scientific and vernacular, are fully indexed us occurring in Parts III. and IV. 
but usually not as incidentally occurring in Parts I. and II. in illustration of the zoological and anatomical 
characters there noted. (5) Names merely appearing in the text, not as headings, are usually not indexed 5} many 
such, however, will be found, especially such as are not elsewhere formally treated. (6) Synonyms, both scientific 
and vernacular, are indexed. (7) Matters of field-work and taxidermy treated in Part I. are fully indexed by 
one or more leading words; as, Insect pests, and Pests, insect. (8) Names of persons mentioned or of authors 
quoted are not indexed. (9) The whole work is so fully indexed that the Index will serve as a glossary of the 
terminology of ornithology. (10) All the figures refer to pages.
