INDEX. 
The following rules have been followed so far as possible in making this index: 
The bird names have been entered as many times, as a rule, as there are principal wordsin them. Ex- 
ceptions to this treatment are-all complete misnomers, as beach-flea, flying-co!t, and wild-mare; names 
referring to parts of the body, as baldpate, cubhead, and yellowlegs; and French terms with modifiers 
following the stem word, as alouette de mer, gibier gris, etc. All such names are inserted but once, and 
ee per the Biab worgo the Heres : 
n the case of closely similar entries eginning with nouns, those followed by modifiers, requiring sepa- 
ration byacomma (inverted order), are listed first, followed by those with tS oheris or obharedes pte 
pounded or joined by other words, in the normal sequence of the name. 
In the case of closely similar entries beginning with adjectival terms, those are listed first in which the 
adjective is a separate word, and are followed by double or hyphened words, including misnomers. 
Hyphens are omitted in the index except in grammatically compound words and in misnomers that 
fOr euphony or other reasons are not spelled as one word. 
ROMAN NUMBERS appearing after the names are those of the A. O. U. Check-List of North Ameri 
Birds (3d ed., 1910), and indicate the order in which the species are arranged in this work. Venice 
names including more than one species, and all family, subfamily, and other group names, are indexed to 
the page, page reference being in italics.
