PREFACE 
 
 HIS work is published for the pur|)08e of presenting at once a table of the higher groups and a checklist of the liinis that ««• 
 found within the boundaries of the Dominion, and to place these l)cfore the student in the simplest and clearest niethixl. 
 
 In Classification and Nomenclature this Table conforms strictly to The Code of Nomenclature and Check-Lu>l of North Americitn 
 Birdg adopted by the American Ornithologists' Union, with the exception of the few alterations made since the Cheek-Litt was issuwl 
 and which are noted in the writer's Ottalogue of Canadian Birds. 
 
 The species of the Table are identical with those of the Catalogue, exwpting a few additions and elimiiintions which will Ix' fnuiid 
 noted in the Appendices. 
 
 The writer takes this opportunity of assuring the friends who have so kindly assisted him in the work, that his promised Bibliography 
 
 of Canadian Ornithology is well under way, and will probably be published during the coming summer.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 'HOSE who have not miido a etudy cif the literature of American Oniitliolopy can liavc very litllf iilca ul' tin- inlvancc tlmt liiw Ufii 
 made during the present century, and og|iceially during the last thirty yearn; an advance tliat in n>in»rkHl)i<' — not only fur the im- 
 portant changes made, and the ropidity with which they have In-cn elU'clt'd, tiie value of the iinprovid rmthoijit iidopteil, the iiuinlHT nf 
 new facts ami forms discovered — hut also for tlie extent and excellence of the literature in which the pmu'rirK nf llir iicicncc hii.-* Iiii ii ncortlid. 
 The topic is a tempting (me ; but as it is not within the province of the present work to dincumt it at any Iciivth, tli'i.-c wlm iirr iiil<ni<liil in 
 the subject must Iks referred to the "Historical Preface" in the late editions of the Key to Xorlh Aiiurinui Jlinln, \>\ Vr. lll.l.lin-r Coura, 
 and to Professor Nkwton's article on Ornithology in the Eiicyclopicdia lirillannica, where tliey will lliid niueli to guidi' ami iiixlniet them. 
 A brief reference to a few jwintii must suffice here. 
 
 An almost complete revolution in Classification and Nomenclature was e(l'ect<?d by the late I'rofeswir Haiui>"s llrimrl, |nilili^lii,l In 
 1859. In that celebrated and ei)ocli-making work the siK-eics were grou|K'd in six Orders, fit\y-six Families, and two liuiiilrid ami iilmtysix 
 Genera; and this system prcvaile<l until 1872, when, in the first edition of the Key, Dr. Cofm ineri-iised the number of Ordrrs t^i nine, tlie 
 Families to fifly-cight, and tlie Genera to three hundred ami twenty-eight. Another |Kiint of differi'nee in the methods adoptid by these 
 authors was, that while Baird, following the older systematists, jilaeed the IJirds of Pn^y first, Coi;1':h |iut the (hriiirn at the luad of his 
 system., giving to the Thrushes the place of honor so long hehl by tlie Vultures and Falcons. The singing birds are slill consiilcrcd as the 
 highest or most specialized types, but their position has l>ecn change<l to llie lust named instead of the first, the seipiemr having Inrn 
 reversed. 
 
 Since 1872 numerous altcraticms have ap|)eared, notably in the HiKtory nj North Americnn lilrdi, hy nAiiin, Bkkwrii and liiiHiWAV; 
 in lilDOWAY's A'omcnc/u/Krc, issued by the Smithsonian Institution; and in the second edition of the Key; until, liimlly, in iMMii, ilir A. <). l'. 
 (JoMMlTTEK, whose determinations are almost universally accepted by American ornithohigists, elasfed the birds of Norlli Ameriia in seventrcn 
 Orders, sixty-six Families, and three hundred and twenty-seven Genera. Of these grouiw, the birds of Camuhi, it- shown by tlw aeeum- 
 panying Table, represent fifteen Orders, fifly-five Fannlics, and two hundred and thirty-six Genera. The Orders imt n preneiited in the liuina of 
 the Dominion are Odontoglossa and I'siUaei, of which there is but one species of each in America — the American Flamingo {I'luniicopterwi 
 rufter) representing the first named, and the Carolina Panxiuet (_Conunu carolinenm) the latter. 
 
 Some idea of the field work that has l)een accomplished, and the discoveries nmdo, may l)e gatliere<l from the following list, which 
 shews the total number of sjiccies and 6ubs])ccie8 given by the different authors at the dates nameil.

 This list requires some explamition, for the apparent increase has not been wholly due to the discovery of new s|H>ties, il-, iiiight 1m' 
 inferred. A portion of the increase is due to the extension of the territorial limits embrace<l under the tenn " North America," when useil 
 for ornithological puriwses. In Baird's Report the bird.s named were tliose that had l)een found north of the boundary between the United 
 States and Mexico, excluding Lower California and Greenland. In the first edition of the Key, Lower Calif()rnia was iiieliidcd, but (ircen- 
 land was excluded; and in the Smithsonian Catalogue, |)ublished in 1881, Mr. Ridgwav extended the limits* to endirace Greetdand, the 
 Peninsula of Lower California, and the Islands of Guadcloujie and Socorro. (Dr. Coues had included the Greenland fauna in the secoml 
 edition of his Check-List, which was in lyjie when Mr. Ridoway's Catalogue appeared.) The A. O. U. Committke have fixed tlie limits 
 thus: "The Continent of North America north of the present United States and Mexican boundary, and Greenland, and the Peninsula of 
 Lower California, with the islonds naturally belonging thereto." 
 
 Other additions to the list of American birds have been made by the admission of eztra-limital species, es|iccially of those occurring 
 in Northern Mexico ; hut by far the largest addition, apart from the discovery of new forms, has come through the recognition of gcographieul 
 races as varieties or 8ub3})ecies, and the giving to these races a distinctive nome — a trinomial. 
 
Introduction. 
 
 There is considemblc diflercnco nf opinion nmon^ thr Hy8U'niutiHti> an U> wliich <>f tlii- rnccy lutcly ilcM-rilHil iin- wnrtliy <if rt'i'dttiiitinii, 
 and which are invalid. This difll-rencc uf opinion partially explains the apparent di»erepnncy iHtwirn the ninnlM'm ^t'ven liy Dr, ('mix In 
 the third edition of the Key to North Ameriam Bird», und liy Mr. Uiihiway in the Manual of Snrth Amrrican Hiril>, Imth pnMl.thiHl (lur- 
 ing the autumn of 1887. There are other iMiinta of difference betwc<'n theno works, and also Ulwcen the A'rt/ and the .4. O. U. Cktfk-l.i»l. 
 which it ie not noceseiary to explain here. 
 
 There is little doubt but that the majority of Canadian omitholo(,'iHt« will ondorse the eoniHTVOliani of Dr. Coiiw; indeed, many 
 would go further in that direction, and restrict 'he nnnilKT of the snlmpceies to u very few, while wnne wniilil pi even xtill t'lirlher, ami 
 give no distinctive title to these races, and, with a strictly binomial iiomcnelalure, retain the former system of wMpience — placing; the Durinr* 
 first instead of lust. This will not lie wondered at when it is remcmliored tliat llieso innoviitinns are larcely clii" to the intliicnee of the 
 evolution theory of the origin of »|iecie8, which the major portion of the scientKie men of the I'liited Slates tweni to have accepted lu an 
 established fact, rather than a mere hypothesis, but which Camidiun students, iis a rule, eonsliler " not proven." 
 
 It has l)een suggested that nn association of Canadian oniithoUigista be organized, and that this suelety undertake the formulation of 
 a system of classification and nomenclature which shall more truly reflect the Ideas on the sulij.'et whiili are current in tl Hnminiun. 
 The formation of such an association would be a goinl move — nothing, |)erhups, would tend more surely to the advain'enieiit i .e seieiiee 
 within our borders; but would the framing of a new code be cither wise or practicable? In the fin't place, where in tlie (.':inadla>i, or 
 body of Canadians, who have the equipment of technical knowledge and ex|K.'rience necewary for cueli an undertaking — who e.iuld give an 
 intelligent vote on all the points involved? And supposing that they had the skill, where wnul ' they firnl a sullieiently large enjlc iticm i.f 
 the birds of the country to enable them to settle nuiny of the (lucstious in dispute? Most certainly no su<'h eolleclinn can Ik' I'lMind In 
 Canada at present. If all the bird skins in the Dominion were- combined, they would not make a ginid working collection. In not one 
 Museum in the country are the birds of even a small locality well repre,sented. There are a few creditable private eulleetions, but imne of 
 these contain a sufficient series of skins to show the variations in plumage of all the 8|x>cie8 — the variations of sex and age and seasons, 
 to say nothing of individual and geographical variations. I have heard a'vcral Curators of our public Museums IhuisI that their eases con- 
 tained almost a " full representation " of the birds of Canada, but these gentlemen will probably think diilerently of the matter when they 
 know more about birds. * 
 
 The State has done little, thug fur, to aid or encourage the formation of a collection of either the mumnuils or birds of the euuntry. 
 At the National Museum in Ottawa these branches have received but slight nttcntion. The s|)ccimen» of mauinuils there are too few to 1h' 
 worthy of mention, and while the coses of mounted birds make a fair display for general exhibition, the working nutuntlist fiinla little there 
 to assist him. 
 
 If a Cunudian systcmatist required iii.terinl to enable him to determine some puzzling question, he would be obliged to go to the 
 United States for it, and even there lie would not find a good series of all species of our birds, esiiecially those of our northwestern intj'rior 
 
 But apart from these considerations, — the lack of technical skill and material, — will it not Ihs wiser for Cana<lian ornithologists to 
 accept the determinations of the A. O. U. Committee, and avoid the confusion likely to result if two systems should \>v brought into 
 use? Those who are opposed to the new methods can wait at least until these shall have had u fair trial; and even if further innovations 
 ure attempted, or abuses arise, these will bring their own cure. Alreudy a wuming note bus Ixjen sounded. In the third edition of the Key. 
 Dr. CouES enters an earnest protest against the abuse of " variety making," which, as he points out, the pliability and ehutieity of the 
 trinomiul system renders liuble. He considers that some of the late rulings will not "survive the official etiiiuette of the present flutter in 
 Americon Ornithology," and states his fears that the " trinomial tool . . . will cut the threat of the whole syst<Mn of naming which 
 we have reared with such care." 
 
 We can ufibrd to wait. Whatever is strong in the |>resent system will outlive all opposition and any prejudice there may Ix; against 
 it ; and that which is too weak to bear the strain of adverse criticism and the logic of facts, must yield. The inexorable law of the 
 survival of the fittest applies as surely to the works of science as tu the works of nature.

 APPENDIX A. 
 
 SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE "TABLE" WHICH WERE NOT GIVEN IN THE "CATALOGUE.' 
 
 Ancient MuRKELET iSynlhliboramphiu anliquu*). Tlib ruplaccs S. wumiitunime, fur which see tho "Ily|M>rli(<ticiil Lwl," A|i|H'ii<lix I). 
 
 Blue Oooai: (_Chen aeruletceiu). Thin wiu) placed on the " IIy|Kithcticul LMt"()f tho A. O. U. CWe, but Mr. Hiimiway \\n» itinec n'iMKiiiwil 
 it as a valid specie* in liis Manual, and Dr. CouES has placed it in the thini iilitidii of the Key. It occurM lM-tw<H'ti iliidMnrii Itay 
 and the Rocky Mountains. 
 
 WniTE-PACED QiiOaaY Ibis {PUgadi* guarauna). It is doubtless this H|M!('ies to which the bird tai<en by Mr. Fannin olf Hritiiih 
 Columbia should have been referred, as aulitmnalu is an enstern gjiccies that has not lieen taken on the Pacific coast 
 
 Alpine Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides atnerieantu dormlU). I have not mot with any reconl of tiio occurn-iicc of this variety 
 within Canadian territory, but Mr. Ridmway writes me that "it occurs throughout the entire breiulth of Britiith Coluiiibia, in the 
 Rocky Mountains." 
 
 NioHTllAWK {Chordeilet virginianws imnetti). This is a new Hub8i)ecic8, dcscril)ed by Dr. Count in the Auk for Jnruiary, 1H«8. 
 
 The type was taken near Pembina, on tho Canadian border. Tiic habitat is given as: "Dakota to Texas, in any trrcii-iis country." 
 
 Black-headed Jay {GyanoeiUii stetleri anneeteiu). It is probably this form, iust43ad of maerolopha, which Mr. Fannin has found in British 
 Columbia. 
 
 APPENDIX B. 
 
 HYPOTHETICAL LIST. 
 
 Teuhinck'b Murrelet (Synthliboramphiu tvummumme). Mr. Fannin rc])orts taking this Murrclet along tho coast of British Columbia, but 
 08 it is doubtful if the species occurs on the American side of the Pacific, the binls captured by Mr. Fannin should probably have 
 been referred to antiquxu. 
 
 Pallas's Murre ( Uria lomvia arm). Occurs in the North Pacific, but there is no record of it having been taken within Canadian territory. 
 
 RuFOUa-CRESTED DucK (,NeUa nifina). I have examined a skin of an example of this species that was said to have been shot on the 
 shore of Nova Scotia, but it is possible the skin was imported. 
 
 Snipe {Oallinago gallinago). A European bird that has been taken in Greenland and Bermuda, but thcro is no record of its occurrence 
 in Canada. 
 
 Gilded Flicker {Colapla ehrytoidet). Mr. Fannin reports taking this species in British G>lumbia, but as there is not any other n^cord 
 of its occurrence north of the extreme southern ]x>rtion of California, it is possible that Mr. Fannin's birds should be refemxl t» 
 some other form. 
 
 L0NO-CRE8TED Jay {Cyanoeitta etelleri maerolopha). Mr. Fannin thinks this a resident of British Columbia, but Mr. Riikjway writcB ni<- 
 that "this roust be an error, as it is entirely a Rocky Mountain form, whose British Columbian representative is annectent." 
 
 Mexican Raven (Corvu» corax sintiatm). This is probably the variety of the American Raven that occurs in the west, but ita habitat has 
 not yet been worked out
