A LIST OF THE BIRDS OBSERVED ON THE 



ISLAND OF RHODE ISLAND AND THE 



ADJACENT WATERS. 



BY LOUIS DI ZEREGA MEARNS. 



Our observations embrace the period extending from February, 

 1899, to April, 1902, my father's notes being included with my 

 own in the present list. I have published several short papers on the 

 birds of this locality in ' Notes on Rhode Island Ornithology ' ; and 

 reports of migrations have been sent quite regularly to the Division 

 of the Biological Survey, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The 

 present paper is the summing up of the accumulated data respect- 

 ing the avifauna of the Island of Rhode Island, and adjacent 

 waters, exclusive of the published records of other observers.
