Although not a National Museum publication, and only partially prepared by officers of 

 the Museum, this comprehensive volume was based upon work of the committee charged with 

 its preparation during sessions held in tli o office and laboratories of the department of birds, 

 upon researches in the Museum library, examination of specimens in tho Museum collection, 

 apd critical investigations connected with the regular work of the Department. 



The manuscript of the check-list was prepared chiefly by the curator and assistant curator ; 

 Mr. J. A. Allen, president of the Union and member of the committee, adding only tho habi- 

 tats and concordance of numbers. The preparation of this MSS. involved an immense amount 

 of research, rendered necessary in order to determine beyond reasonable question tho earliest 

 available namo of each species. They also revised carefully galley and paged proofs, not only 

 of the check -list proper, but of tho Code of Nomenclature, and conducted an extended corre- 

 spondence with other members of the committee, whose work upon the book was chiefly of an 

 advisory nature. The committee was composed of the following members : J. A. Allen, "Will- 

 iam Brewster, Elliot Coues, H. W. Henshaw, and Robert Ridgway. Pr. Leonhard Stejneger 

 took part in the deliberations of tho committee and prepared part of tho check-list by special 

 invitation.
