MERRILL Director No: oo: Vol... 7 April 1900 CHECK LIST OF NEW YORK BIRDS By MARCUS S. FARR D. Sc. ALBANY UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK Igoo PREFACE This list was originally prepared for use in collecting data fora bulletin on the birds of New York, but, inasmuch as no check list of the birds of the entire state is available for the student of our avi-fauna, it has been thought advisable to publish it in this form, hoping that it may be of some use to students in ornithology and serve as a convenient means of keeping notes on the various species. My purpose has been to include all the birds known to occur or to have occurred in our state, and only those forms have been admitted that have actually been taken in New York. Thus the list contains not only our regular summer and winter residents and migrants, but also those that occur as irregular visitants or stragglers. A number of the species recorded have been taken only once or twice in the state and this is in nearly every case indicated in a foot note with the proper reference. It is believed that nearly, if not quite all the birds of our state, that have been recorded, are included; but for any corrections or additions the author will be grateful. The list is divided into two parts, the first containing those birds that have actually been taken in New York, the second including those of which we have no satisfactory state records, but which, having been taken in adjoining states, may be looked for in New York. Strict adherence is given to the nomenclature of the American ornithologists union check list of 1895 and the supplements of January 1897 and 1899. The number of the species in this list is followed by the American ornithologists union number in parentheses or brackets, and as the pamphlet is designed for the use of students rather than ad- vanced workers, the common name is given first. My obligations are due to Dr F..J. H. Merrill, whose kind aid and criticism have been a source of inspiration in my work. Also to Dr J. A. Allen and Mr William Dutcher of New York, Dr William Brewster of Cambridge, and Dr A. W. Butler of Indianapolis, who have been so kind as to give me notes and suggestions on several species.

William Palmer, after an examination of 176 specimens, proposes to “relegate excubilorides to the plains region west of the immediate Mississippi wooded drainage area, ludovicianus to the south Atlantic and gulf coasts, and Florida, and to recognize a new form (L. l. migrans) as occupying much of the remaining region of the east.’ The acceptance of his views has been deferred by the American ornithologists union for lack for material, and so it seems best for the present to let the species stand as given in Auk, 15: 241-58; also 16; 133, - / - ’ f i Aa, 2a. ee ras he CHECK LIST OF NEW YORK BIRDS Family VIREONIDAE Vireos _ 306 (624) Red-eyed vireo Vireo olivaceus (Linn.)
