In the Catalogue of Canadian Birds, of which this is the first 

 part (pp. I -218) it is intended to enumerate all the birds of the 

 Dominion systematically and to bring together the principal 

 known facts in regard to their distribution, migrations and breed- 

 ing habits. It is intended to complete the Catalogue in a second 

 part, which will be prepared and published as soon as possible.
