The list of birds is a nominal one of 222 (223 by error in numbering) 
species, and is supplemented by notes on 124 species. This work is the 
first systematic treatise on Ohio Ornithology, and, considering the time 
and circumstances of its appearance, is remarkable for its fullness and 
comparative freedom from errors. The work contains numerous refer- 
ences to birds observed in the vicinity of Cincinnati, and our only 
authentic records of the occurrence here of the avocet, and Hudsonian 
godwit.
