544 Progress of Ornithology in the United States. [ September, 
of the Birds of Connecticut (American Journal of Science and 
Arts, first series, vol. xliv., 1848), and Wm. M. and S. E. 
Baird’s List of the Birds of Carlisle, Pennsylvania (ibid., vol. 
xlvi., 1844), are noteworthy, as being the first of a long series 
of papers of a strictly faunal character that have contributed so 
much to our knowledge of the distribution of our birds, their 
periods of migration, and their seasonal ranges throughout the 
eastern half of North America from Labrador to Florida. For

to Coues, Verrill, and Packard ; Drs. Brewer and Bryant have
