In pursuance of tiiis resolution the following Committee was appointed : Messrs. Coues, Allen, Ridgway, Brewster, and Henshaw. The Committee, having held numerous sessions in Wash- ington and New York, presented its Report at the second Con- gress of the Union, held in New York, Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, 1884, when the following resolution was adopted : — " Resoh'ed^ That the Report of the Committee on the Revision of the Nomenclature and Classification of North American Birds be ac- cepted and adopted, and that it be recommitted to the Committee, with instructions to complete and submit it to the (,'ouncil as soon as practicable; and that the Council be empowered and instructed to accept and adopt the Report as finally rendered, with such modifica- tions as they may deem necessary, and to publish the same, copy- righted, in part or in whole, and in one or more forms, in the name and under the auspices of the American Ornithologists' Union." The Committee, having continued its sessions, presented its final report to the Council at a meeting held in Washington I. OF CANADA i Iv I'REFACE. on the 2ist of April, 1S85. when the Report of the Committee was accepted and adopted, and was referred again to the Com- mittee for publication, the Committee to exercise such edi- torial revison as might seem necessary. Pursuant to the foregoing resolutions of the Union and Council, the Committee now offers to the public, in the name ,ind on behalf of the Union, the result of its labors, consist- ing of a List of North American Birds, preceded by the Code of Rules adopted by the Committee for its guidance in the preparation of the List. The Committee ventures to hope that the new Code will find favor, not only with ornithologists, but among zoolo- gists generally. KLLIorr COIJES. J. A. ALLEN. ROBERT RIDGWAY. WILLIAM BREWSTER. H. W.

The Committee held sessions in Washington, D. C, January 15-19, 1894, and February 12, 13, 1895. to outline the work and to rule on the questions involved in the publication of liie revised List. The revision ol' the matter relating to the geographic distribution of the species and subspecies was undertaken by the Committee as a whole, each member in turn taking it in hand, while the incorporation of typographic and other rectifications made during the sessions of the Com- mittee,- and the final preparation of the manuscript for the printer, was referred to a subcommittee consisting of the Editor of ' The Auk,' to whom was also assigned the general editorial supervision of the work. The toilov.infj extracts from the Introduction to the Code of Nomenclature (pp. 14, 15) will serve to explain the scope and plan of the Check-List, including the method of incor- ]')orating additions. '• I. That the term ' \orth American,' as applied to the proposeil List of Birds, be held to include the continent of North America nortli of the present United States and Mexican boundary, and Greenland ; and the peninsula of Lower California, with the islands naturally belonging thereto. " 2. That species he numbered consecutively, and that subspecies be enumerated by affixing the letters a, b, c. etc., to the number borne by their respective species ; provided, that any subspecies of a species not included in the North American Fauna shall be separately num- bered as if a species. "3. That stragglers or accidental visitors, not regarded as com- ponents of the North American Fauna, be distinguished by having their respective numbers in brackets. ' With the L'xieption of Mr. 11. W. Ilenshaw, who was unable to serve, and Dr. C Hart Merriam was appointed in his stead. -The Committee desires to here acknowledge valuable assistance received, especially in the preparation of the geographic portions of the list, from Major Charles Hendire, Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Dr. Walter Faxon, Dr. A. K. Fisher, Mr. Cierrit S. 'Miller, Jr., and I.V. T. .S. I'almer. 'i'he Committee is further indebted to Dr. J'almer for numerous corrections in the citations of original references. PREFACE. Vll " \. That anv Milisi'quenl additions to tiie list he interpolated in systematic order, and bear the number of tile s|)eeies imn.^diately precedinji, with tlie addition of a tip;iire (i, 2, etc., as the case may recpiire), separated from the original number by a period or decimal |X)int, thus givinj; the interpolated number a decimal form (<•. a'-. 243.1, etc.\ in order that the original numbers may be permanent. "6. That fiiraud's at present unconfirmed species of Te.xan birds lie included in the List on Giraud's authority. "7. That species and subspecies the zo«)logical status of which cannot be satisfactorily determined, like. f. ^'.. Kei^iilus cuvuri and Spiza townsendi of Audubon, be referred to a hypothetical list, in each case with a brief statement of the reasons for such allocation. "8. That a list of the fossil species of North American birds be added as an Appendix to the List proper. "g. That the names of subgeneric and siipergeneric groups of North American birds be included in the List in systematic order, to the end that the List may represent a classification as well as a nomenclature of the birds. "10. That references be given to the original description of the species, and to the publication where the name as adopted in the List was first used; that the number borne by each species and sub- species in the J,ists of Baird, 1858, of Coues, 1873, of Ridgway, 1880, and of Coues, 1882, be bracketed in chronological order after the synonymatic references. "II. That a summary statement of the habitat of each species and subspecies, with special reference to its North American range, be included in the List. • "12. That the name of each bird shall consist of its generic without its subgeneric name, and of its specific with its subspecific name, if it have one, without the intervention of any other term. ****♦♦♦ " 14. That every technical name be followed by a vernacular name, selected with due regard to its desirribility. "15. That the name of each species and subspecies be followed by the name of the original describer of the same, to be enclosed in parentheses when it is not also the authority for the name adopted. vHI PR F. FACE. "i6. 'I'hat all specific and subspecific names shall begin with a lower-case letter. " 17. That the sequence in classiticaticni followed in previous Lists be reversed, the List to begin with the lowest or most general- ized type, and end with the highest or most specialized."
