Description:Excerpt from Catalogue of Birds of the Americas and the Adjacent Islands in Field Museum of Natural History, Vol. 2 The present work is intended to include all the species and subspecies of birds known to occur in North America (from the Arctic Islands, Greenland and Alaska, southward), Middle America (including Mexico and Central America), the West Indies and Islands of the Caribbean Sea, South America and adjacent islands of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans having fauna! relationship. In the synonymies of this work the references are largely confined to the original descriptions (with type localities), the Catalogue of Birds of the British Museum, Ridgway's Birds of North and Middle America (Bull. U.S. National Museum, No.50), monographs of families and genera, works containing colored plates of the various species, and important papers in relation to geographical distribution, but in many cases, where numerous nomenclature! changes have been made by authors, the more important combinations and variations are given. A slight departure from the orthodox method is that of always giving the reference to the accepted original description first, so that the type locality, which follows it in parenthesis, may be noted at a glance. Diagnostic descriptions will be given of all species and subspecies not included in the standard works, Ridgway's Birds of North and Middle America and the Catalogue of Birds of the British Museum, and for this reason Part II of this work is issued first, leaving Part I (containing the "Water Birds," Galliformes, etc.) to be completed and issued after the parts containing those Orders in Prof. Ridgways great work shall have been published, thereby reducing the size of this work by largely diminishing the number of forms which would otherwise require descriptions, and enable the writer to conform (so far as possible) to the nomenclature, conclusions regarding specific and subspecific evaluations, and the vernacular names of North and Middle American forms, adopted therein, and also to allow more time to devote to the critical study of a number of families of the so-called "Water Birds," especially from South America, many species not previously represented in the Museums collection having been secured by expeditions during the past few years.
