The Ornithological Dictionary in con- 
nection with the list consists of a treatise 
on the etymology, orthography, and or- 
thoepy of all the scientific and many of 
vernacular words employed in the nomen- 
clature of North American birds. This 
will be invaluable to students, as many, 
however familiar they may be with the 
names of their feathered friends on paper, 
have little idea of the derivation, signifi- 
cation and application of the words. 
The book is neatly printed, nicely in- 
dexed (as are all of the Dr.'s works), and 
'istefuUy bound, and will add another 
^1 to the gifted author who has done 
h for American ornithology during 
'venty years. O.&O. Vll. Sept. 1882. p. /6a
