PREFACKH.
Tue present Atlas has been prepared for the two-fold purpose of completing the series of illustrations of the Birds of North America, and to give accurate and easily recognized figures of the numerous hitherto unknown birds described in the first volume. It contains figures of all birds inhabiting the United States which have not been given by former American authors, in connexion with whose works it continues and concludes, as far as possible, to the present time the pictorial representation of all North American birds. In the accompanying volume of text will be found descriptions of all the known birds of the United States; their arrangement in the genera and families of modern zoologists; their geographical distribution; and, it is believed, everything necessary to a complete’ and thorough knowledge of this favorite department of the natural history of our country.
In 1843 the distinguished ornithologist, Mr. Audubon, brought to a completion the second and last edition of his great work on the Birds of North America, in which are given faithful and accurate representations of nearly five hundred species. This elaborate work included all the birds known to that celebrated author as inhabiting the continent of America north of Mexico.
In 1853 Mr. Cassin commenced the publication of a work entitled ‘‘ Illustrations of the Birds of California, Texas, Oregon, and British and Russian America: intended to contain descriptions and figures of all North American birds not given by former American authors, and a general synopsis of North American Ornithology.’’ Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. The first series, containing plates of fifty species not given by Audubon, was com- pleted in 1855, and has not been extended, having been superseded by the present work.
Many of the birds of the United States, not included in the works of the preceding or other American authors, having been collected by the several parties for the Survey of a Railroad Route to the Pacific Ocean, and of the Boundary between the United States and Mexico, as mentioned in the preface to volume I of this work, they were figured in the reports of these expeditions published by Congress under the direction of the War and Interior Departments. All of these birds appear in the present volume, but, in almost
every instance, redrawn from better and more characteristic specimens. Of the one hun- VOL. II 1
II PREFACE.
dred plates, however, of this volume, about one-half appear for the first time, having been prepared expressly for the present work. Many of the latter represent birds of Eastern North America.
As already stated, the work of Mr. Audubon contains figures of somewhat less than five hundred species of North American birds; that of Mr. Cassin contains fifty species. In the present volume will be found one hundred and forty-eight species, nearly all of which are now represented for the first time in any work on American ornithology. The three works together include illustrations of very nearly all the known birds of North America. A few species only are wanting, chiefly of Russian America and other remote localities, of which no specimens are preserved in American museums. All are carefully described, however, in the preceding volume.
The original specimens of a large majority of the species figured in the present volume are in the museum of the Smithsonian Institution, and have been described and figured by permission of the Secretary. The collections of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- delphia, and of the Boston Natural History Society, have also furnished valuable and inter-
esting types for the same purpose, kindly placed at our disposal.

facial disk is grayish, obscurely barred with brown; the posterior margin of the ear is uniform liver brown, then becoming banded with white. The longest quills and tail feathers show about 7 to 9 clouded transverse light bars, one of these at the end of the feather; the bars on the inner and outer margins are quite white, especially towards the base of the feather, elsewhere they are mottled yellowish brown or brownish yellow ; the legs are dirty yellowish, with obscure and rather trans- The bill is greenish yellow; the iris gamboge; the claws horn color; the toes are thickly

with a concealed patch of orange brown.
Rest of under parts brownish white with indications of yellow along the median
