Book Description
Excerpt from Nomenclature of North American Birds: Chiefly Contained in the United States National Museum The following enumeration contains 226 valid species and recognized races which have either been first described or added to the North American fauna since 1859, while, on the other hand, no less than 42 names of the old catalogue have been relegated to the ranks of syn onymy, and 20 more removed as extralimital. Furthermore, of the re maining 698 names over 300 have been more or less emended, so that only 395 of the 7 60 names as given in the old catalogue are retained in the current nomenclature!
