By FRANK M. CHAPMAN
Ciuator of Birds, American Museum of Natural History
With Plates in Colors and Black and White, by LOUIS
AGASSIZ FUERTES, and Text Illustrations by
TAPPAN ADNEY and ERNEST THOMPSON-SETON
The text of the preceding edition has been thoroughly
revised and much of it rewritten. The nomenclature and
ranges of the latest edition of the "Check-List" of the
American Ornithologists' Union have been adopted.
Migration records from Oberlin, Ohio, Glen Ellyn, 111.,
and Southeastern Minnesota, numerous nesting dates for
every species, and many biographical references have
been added; the descriptions of plumage emended to
represent the great increase in our knowledge of this
branch of ornithology; and, in short, the work has been
enlarged to the limit imposed by true handbook size and
brought fully up-to-date.
In addition to possessing all the features which made
the old "Handbook" at once popular and authoritative,
the new "Handbook" contains an Introduction of over
ICO pages on "How to Study the Birds in Nature,"
which will be of the utmost value to all students of living
birds.
The subjects of distribution, migration, song, nesting,
color, food, structure and habit, intelligence, and allied
problems are here treated in a manner designed to arouse
interest and stimulate and direct original observation.
A Biographical Appendix, giving the titles to all the
leading works and papers (including faunal lists) on the
Birds of Eastern North America, shows just what has
been published on the birds of a given region, a matter
of the first importance to the local student.
