Check List of North American Birds.

Note. — The species are numbered consecutively from 1 to 635.
Stragglers have the number in brackets. Varieties bear the number
of the species to which they belong, with a, &, c, etc., unless a variety
is our only representative of the species, when it is separately enu-
merated. Obscure or doubtful species are marked with a note of
interrogation after the number. Each species is followed by the
original describer's name ; when this is not also the authority for
the nomenclature adopted the name of such authority is added, the
former being retained in parenthesis. A similar practice is observed
in the cases of varieties ; when, as in most instances, they were origi-
nally described vas species they are followed by the authority for their
reduction to varieties, as well as by the name of the describer; the
latter in parenthesis.

The List contains a very few species discovered since the "Key"
was printed; otherwise, it is an exact reflection of that work, the
arrangement and nomenclature being identical. The numbers of the
genera as used in the Key are given in the head lines of the List in
order to facilitate reference.

Authors are at variance in the formation of the genitive of Latinized
proper names ; in the absence of any universally observed rule, euphony
may perhaps be advantageously consulted. In the Key, the i was
doubled in all cases of words ending in a consonant, the nominative
being considered to end in -ius ; this practice is preferably applicable
to monosyllables, as Bairdii, and polysyllables, as Audubonii. But it
is necessary to use single i in words ending in r, as Cooperi, and best
to do so in most cases of dissyllables, as Wilsoni, Cassini, Swainsoni.
The same is the case with all words ending in a vowel.

The following are the abbreviations used for authors' names occur-
ring most frequently ; others are for the most part written in fall : —
AIL, Allen; Aud., Audubon; Bd., Baird; Bodd., Boddaert; Bp., Bona-
parte; Ca&. , Cabanis ; Cass., Cassin; Cs., Cones; (ramfe., Gambel; Gm.,

APPENDIX

CONTAINING

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS
TO THE CHECK LIST.

Prepared under circumstances of remote isolation which deprived
the author of the advantage of certain works of reference he desired
to consult, the CHECK LIST contains some names for which no
authority is cited, and in a few instances a change of the authority
given may be required.

One new species has been added to the North American fauna during
the printing of the List ; five additiorial known species have since been
ascertained to occur in this country, and meanwhile several new varie-
ties have been published after the impression had passed the page
where they should respectively appear; these are brought into the
present connection. Most of them appear entitled to varietal recog-
nition; but in printing the names formally, for the convenience of
those who may desire to use such names in labelling, the author must
not necessarily be held to endorse them in every instance.

The body of the List was printed, and some early copies distributed,
in Dec, 1873; but the publication of the volume was held over until
1874, to insert in the Appendix names then about being published.

No. 41? The query indicates a probability that this is a variety of
No. 40, as held by Mr. Allen.

No. 46. The United States form constitutes a variety of true mexi-
canus. See Ridgway, Am. Nat., vii, 1873, 603.

Smithsonian Institution from St. Michael's, Alaska, and should take
place in the list.

[55bis.] ANTHUS PRATENSIS Bechst.

No. 68. The Pacific form is varietally distinguishable. See Ridg-
way, Am. Nat., vii, 1873, 606. The Floridan form, later distinguished
by Mr. Ridgway as var. obscurus, seems hardly worthy of recognition
by name.

No. 135a. The C. elegans of Baird (not of Swainson) has b6en re-
named C. ludoviciamis var. rohustus, a name which, however, it may
not be necessary to adopt. (Am. Nat., vii, 1873, 609.)

[No. 138] ? The query indicates that the determination of specific
validity, cited and adopted in the Key, may have been made by Dr.
Tristram on grounds held in the Key to constitute only geographical
varieties ; so that we may revert to the view of its original describer
as F. coccinea var. cassini Bd.

[138.] PYRRHULA COCCINEA,

Casisin's BuUfincli.

No. 144. The Leucosticte tephrocotis var. australis Allen, lately de-
scribed by Mr. Ridgway (Ess. Inst. Bull., v, 197), I believe to be
merely the midsummer plumage of the ordinary bird, as my uEgiothus
var. fuscescens probably is of A. linaria.

No. 155. For chestnut-colored read chestnut-collared.
" 157. Omit the query, which should have been aflSxed to the next
species.

No. 157bis. To be cancelled. See Scott, Am. Nat., vii, 1873, 664 ;

that Feuccea cassini is a distinct species ; the bird which I called "var.
cassini" is a variety of cesiivaZt's which he proposes to call var. arizonce.
Am. Nat., vii, 1873, 616. So the species and varieties will stand : —

been determined (Bull. Ess. Inst., v, 199) as follows: "A sordida"
of the Key is a new variety, arizonce of ultramarina, the true sordida
being a Mexican variety of the same species. Accordingly, No. 237
should stand as

237. APHELOCOMA ULTRAMARINA (Bp.) Cab.,

302b. SPHYRAPICUS VARIUS (L.) Bd.,
var. RUBER (Gm.) Ridg.
Red-breasted Ifl^oodpecker.

Nos. 304, 305. Observations lately made by Mr. H. W. Henshaw
(Am. Nat., viii, 1874, in press) are to the effect that Sphyrapicus thy-
roideus is the female of S. loilliamsoni. The opposite sexes of each
of these species have not been satisfactorily recognized, and upon
examination of Mr. Henshaw's material, I find almost conclusive evi-
dences in favor of his views, substantiating his observations. Such
sexual diflferences are unique in the family. As the older name, S.
thyroideus will stand for the species, S. williamsoni becoming a syno-
nyme. No. 305 is therefore to be cancelled.

No. 307. The authority is (Wagl.) Gray.

No. 318. A dark Floridan form of Scops has been characterized

No. 402*. As intimated in the text, the North American mountain
plover is perfectly distinct from the Asiatic. I have only lately seen it

black coronal belt and black loral stripe.

402. EUDROMIAS MONTANUS (Towns.) Harting.
Mountain Plover.

No. 415a. It is not necessary to recognize this even by varietal
name; "ilf. scolopaceus" being merely longer-billed specimens of M.
griseus, such as may be shot out of almost any flock of the latter.
The range of variation in length of bill is no greater than that occur-
ring in Ereunetes piisillus, as noted in the Key, p. 254.

No. 442bis. A well known Pacific curlew, before overlooked in the
Smithsonian collection, was taken at Fort Renai, Alaska, May 18, 1869,

[442bis.] NUMENIUS FEMOBALIS Peale.
Briiitle-ltellied Curle^v.

No. 445. According to Mr. Ridgway (Am. Nat., viii, 1874, 110), the
ordinary North American glossy ibis is absolutely identical with that
of the Old World. He, however, finds two other species in western
United States, /. guarauna and /. thalassinus. According to this
determination our species would stand as follows : —

445. IBIS FALCINELLTJS Auct.
Olossy Ibis.

445bis. IBIS GUARAUNA (Linn.) Ridg.
TFliite-faced IMs.

445ter. IBIS THALASSINUS Ridg.
