PUBLISHER’S NOTE. 
In order to meet the unprecedented demand which has arisen from all sections of 
the country for the report on the Birds of Pennsylvania—popularly known as the 
‘‘Bird-book” (nineteen thousand copies of which were published by authority of 
the legislature of 1889), it has been determined to print the work as a private enter¬ 
prise and place it on sale, thus rendering it possible for all who are interested in the 
subject of Ornithology, and especially in studying the relations of birds to agricul¬ 
ture, to procure the book at an outlay of about one-fifth the price usually charged for 
similar publications, containing such a large number of handsomely colored and 
life-like illustrations. In addition to the matter contained in the “ Birds of Penn¬ 
sylvania ” (revised edition 1890) considerable new letter press and numerous uncol¬ 
ored illustrations have been added, thereby materially adding to the worth of the 
volume as a hand-book to the ornithological or oological student and tourist, as well 
as sportsmen, either hunters or anglers. 
The colored lithographic plates illustrate one hundred and sixty (160) different 
species, and nearly three hundred (300) birds, adults and young, are figured, with, 
in many instances, very accurate delineations of the nests of some of the best known 
species of our native birds. With the exception of a few ducks, some warblers and a 
small number of other species, all the birds which are commonly met with in the 
Keystone State, either throughout the year or during any particular season, are 
shown in colors with remarkable fidelity to nature. This work can be obtained at
