Introduction. 
In placing this revised and enlarged list of our birds before the pub- 
lic I have no excuse to offer except that my objectas stated in the in- 
troduction to my first edition 1. e. ‘‘to bring the subject before other 
ornithologists—that we might some day bring it to completion,” has 
been realized to a very satisfactory degree. While this list is still very 
incomplete, it embraces over twenty species omitted from the first one, 
I have seen fit to omit A. O. U. No. 4, Columbus nigricoltis californicus. 
as further evidence of its occurrence was not forthcoming and I could 
not find the skin that I understood had been taken on Lake Ontario in 
1892. I wish to tender my sincere thanks to Mr. Neil F. Posson of 
Medina, Orleans Co.; Mr. J. L. Davison, Lockport, Niagara Co.; Mr. 
Frank H. Lattin, Albion, Orleans Co.; Mr. Leslie V. Case, Naples, 
Ontario Co.; and others for notes and other help. 
I am especially indebted to Messrs., Davison and Posson for com- 
plete lists of the birds of their respective localities. 
Trusting that this may prove only another step toward a complete 
list, J am respectfully, THE AUTHOK. 
April 1, 1896.
