We wish to express our thanks to Professor Austin Apgar, of 
the Hew Jersey State Formal School, and the publishers, the 
American Book Company, for permission to use matter from 
“Apgar’s Birds of the United States,” and more especially to 
Professor Apgar for reading the manuscript of this part of the 
report on “Birds of Few Jersey” and other valuable assistance 
he has rendered in connection with the State Museum. To all 
those wishing to study the birds of Few Jersey, we would recom¬ 
mend his work, “Apgar’s Birds of the United States.” 
The bird descriptions throughout were taken from this book. 
They are more concisely expressed, with fewer technical words, 
and thus more intelligible to a popular audience than are those 
of any other work.
