LOCAL MISNOMERS AND NAMES. 
In view of the fact that many birds are locally called by 
names which are misleading, or which are generally or else- 
where given to other birds, it will be useful here to give a 
list of these misnomers. The wrong identification of a 
species is responsible for many such, and one name in some 
cases serves for two different birds. Thus, for example, 
the name " Goldeneye " is given to the Tufted Duck and 
the Goldeneye ; and " Felty " to both the Mistle-Thrush 
and the Fieldfare. The following list will show to what 
birds these misleading names are most frequently appHed 
locally, and throughout the book they will be included in 
every case among the " Local Names " of the individual 
species.
