Excerpt from Nests and Eggs of North American Birds The text of the present edition consists of the characteristic habits of North American birds, with particular reference to their nesting habits and eggs. Many of these will be found to be almost complete life histories of the species. The geographical limits of the North American avifauna at the present time includes all the territory north of the Southern United States boundary, including Greenland and the peninsula of Lower California, with the islands naturally belonging thereto. The second edition of the A. O. U. Check-List, 1895, is the classification which I have followed, including the new species and subspecies enumerated in the Eighth Supplement. All stragglers or accidental visitors have their respective numbers to the left in brackets. For an explanation of the authority of names, Canon L. (page 56)of the A. O. U. Code may be quoted: "The authority for a specific or subspecific name is the first describer of the species or subspecies. When the first describer of the species or subspecies is not also the authority, it is to be enclosed in parenthesis; e. g., Turdus migratorius L., or Merula migratoria (L)." The species and subspecies which have been interpolated in this edition are indicated by the double asterisk (**). No attempt has been made to describe the birds. For an analytical description of these the reader is referred to such works as "Key to North American Birds," by Dr. Elliott Coues, or "Manual of North American Blrds," by Robert Ridgway. While I am indebted to books and periodical literature for a considerable amount of information gleaned from them, my acknowledgments are especially due a large number of active field ornithologists and oologists who have kindly placed at my disposal their notes containing original observations in the field on the nesting and eggs of various birds, many of these being the latest discoveries. Others have furnished descriptions of nests and eggs from specimens in their private collections which, in many cases, were otherwise scarcely obtainable, thus bringing the work down to date as nearly as possible. The illustrations are introduced simply to give the beginner an idea of the characteristic forms, etc., of the birds, together, often, with their environments.
