The accompanying bulletin is the first of its kind issued by this
Experiment Station. It is not, however, the first publication of its
kind, as the author shows in his preface. It is believed, to be the
most complete list of the Birds of the State that has been published.

The list is the result of many hours of labor taken from his regu-
lar work or time of recreation, and is a donation by the author to
the Experiment Station. While the work seems to have been done
with care, yet it is possible that some species have been omitted.
The Experiment Station or the author will be grateful for the men-
tion of any omissions.

It is hoped that this bulletin will cause an additional interest
to be awakened in birds, about which far too little is known.

Publication approved : Acting Director.

PREFACE.

In contemplation of this list I have spared no pains in gathering
material from all available sources, which I have boiled down and
condensed, and aim glad to present it in as contplete form as is pos-
sible at this date.

HISTORICAL.—Catesby’s work, in 1670, was the first to appear on
the birds of this State, but this work included a great deal more
territory than North Carolina, and did not embrace one-half of the
birds now known to occur within our borders. Then followed the
publication of several minor papers, at irregular intervals, devoted
principally to the ornithology of the various sections, when, in 1887,
Prof. G. F. Atkinson, of the University of North Carolina, pub-
lished a list of all the birds then known to him to occur within the
bounds of the State. Incomplete though this list was, it has served
a good purpose—that of a stimulus; and since that time much
work has been done by a few zealous workers. Many new species
have been added, and new and more complete notes taken on nearly
all the species recorded by him; their general distribution and
nesting habits have been more fully studied and carefully observed ;
the result of which is given forth in this list. It is an entirely new
list, so far as the annotations are concerned, in nearly every respect.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
STATE.—North Carolina is peculiarly situated, geographically, and
divided, physically ; so that it presents a variety of climate, and
consequently a varied bird-life, which is exceedingly interesting.
Midway, as it were, between the North and South, and reaching
from the Atlantic ocean westward five hundred miles to the heights
of the Alleghanies, we are visited by nearly all the migrants of
eastern North America. Physically, it is divided into three dis-
tinct regions, viz., the eastern or tide-water, which can roughly be
said to include all the land east of a line which indicates an alti-
tude of one hundred feet above the sea-level ; the middle or pied-
mont, which is bounded by the above-described line on the east,
and a similar one on the west, indicating the altitude of five hun-
dred feet ; and the western or mountain section, which includes all
the territory west of the piedmont section, embracing all the moun-
tains of the State to the eastern boundary of Tennessee. From the
sea-level in the east the altitude gradually increases till a height of
more than six thousand feet is reached in the west. These varia-

tions in climate and physical characteristics give us, in a great de-
gree, our varied bird-life. In the higher mountains ours somewhat
resemble the Canadian avian /aunu, inasmuch as many birds are
found breeding there which usually make a more Northern place
their summer home. In the east the climate is mild and equable,
being tempered by the Gulf Stream, and many birds winter there,
and occasionally that section has stragglers which it would not
were it not for its peculiar situation and environment.

ScopE OF THE WorkK.—Three hundred and three species are
listed, which includes all that are known to occur within the bor-
ders of the State at‘ the present time. Two species are recorded
upon evidence that they once occurred and they may be found
again. An Appendix of twenty-two species is added, of species
which ought to occur, and we may expect to take them if we are
careful.

SouRCcE OF MATERIAL.—During the past ten years I have de-
voted much time to the study of the ornithology of our State, and
the result of all my study and observations is embodied in and con-
stitutes the foundation of this work. To the following gentlemen
I am aiso greatly indebted, for without their assistance this list
could never have been as complete as I am now able to make it:

Mr. H. H. Brimley, Curator State Museum, Raleigh, N. C., for
notes on the ducks and a few water-birds found on our sounds in
winter, and for notes on the specimens received at the Museum.

Mr. C. S. Brimley, Raleigh, N. C., for a list of the birds of the
vicinity of Raleigh, and all the notes he has collected through sev-
eral years collecting and corresponding in various portions of the
State.

Mr. John S. Cairns, a short time before his untimely death, sent
me a complete list of the birds of Buncombe County, which has
been of much service to me. In the death of this ardent lover of
nature we have lost one of our brightest stars, and, I fear, his place
will long remain vacant. His home was in Weaverville, among
the giants of nature.

Mr. Joe H. Armfield, Greensboro, N. C., sent me a list of all the
birds which had come under his observation through several years
collecting, which contained some interesting and valuable notes on
the nidification habits of some of the rarer species.

Mr. T. Gilbert Pearson, Curator Guilford College Museum, Guil-
ford College, N. C., has rendered assistance by sending a list of all
the birds he has identified during his residence in North Carolina.
His former home was in Florida.

Mr. R. P. Smithwick sent mea list of the birds of Bertie County,
with notes on each species, which’ has proven of service.

Mr. C. J. Maynard, Newtonville, Mass., furnished some valuable

notes on a few species of our coast birds, observed by himself in
1876.

PREFACE, 199

Mr. H. Gould Welborne, Lexington, N. C., sent some interesting
notes on the species he has observed in his immediate section.

I have had for reference the following works: “A Preliminary
Catalogue of the Birds of North Carolina, With Notes on Some of
the Species, ” by Prof. G. F. Atkinson, 1887 ; and ‘The Birds and
Reptiles of Fort Macon, N. C.,” by Dr. Elliott Coues, 1874.
