Mississippi Valley. New York has a greater number of northern birds in winter, 
and Pennsylvania a greater number of southern birds in summer, than Ohio ; 
while in Illinois and Wisconsin the northern and southern and eastern and western 
birds are to be found within the same limits in their appropriate season. From 
this, it appears that Ohio has a larger proportion of resident birds than surrounding 
States, and its ornithological fauna may be taken as the type of this latitude east 
of the Mississippi river. 
It would also be interesting to notice the distribution of birds within the State 
during the breeding season, but our limited observations, confined almost entirely 
to the vicinity of Columbus, will not permit. 
For the names of many species inhabiting northern Ohio, and for other valuable 
information, I am indebted to Mr. M. C. Read, of Hudson, 0., Messrs. Jno. Kirk- 
patrick and R. K. Winslow, of Cleveland, and Prof. S. F. Baird, of the Smithsonian 
Institute, Washington, D. C.
