CLASS II. BIRDS. 
This Class has received the most attention from our naturahsts, and 
is consequently better knovrn than others. About four hundred and 
ninety species have been observed in all North America ; and of these, 
it will be seen that more than three hundred have been observed al- 
ready within the limits of the State. In this department, I have taken 
as the basis of my labours the geographical and comparative list of the 
birds of Europe and North America by C. L. Bonaparte. I have been 
led to this, partly from the excellence of its arrangement, and more 
especially as it is to form the groundwork of a General History of Birds, 
which it is understood will shortly be published by that eminent orni- 
thologist. I have attempted some modifications, suggested by the ex- 
cellent Synopsis of Audubon.
