APPENDIX I

ADDITIONS, SUBTRACTIONS, AND EMENDATIONS.

Since the publication of the first edition of the 'Color Key' in 1903, the American Ornithologists' Union has issued the Third Edition (1910) of its 'Check-List of North American Birds.' This includes all approved additions to and changes in the preceding edition made since 1903 as well as rulings on a number of cases which were in abeyance at the time the first edition of the 'Color Key' appeared.

Mere changes in nomenclature not affecting the status of a species are given without comment in the preceding Systematic Table, which has been fully revised and brought up to date. To ascertain the correct, current name of any species or subspecies of North American bird the student, after determining its identity in the 'Color Key,' has only to refer to its number in the Systematic Table to learn whether any change has been made in nomenclature. In addition to actual changes in nomenclature due to the detection of errors in earlier names, it should be noted that a third name or trinomial is now employed for each race of a species, and also that an apostrophe is used in connection with the names of birds named for individuals. Throughout the 'Color Key,' therefore, alterations should be made when required by these two changes in method.

All other changes than these simple ones of names are included, with explanations, in this appendix, and the student is urged to make manuscript cross-references on the pages where such changes occur to avoid their being overlooked.

As far as possible the language of the original describer of the new subspecies of birds is here quoted, while the Ranges are mainly from the A.O.U. Check-List.

References to original sources of publication are given only with cases included in the first supplement to the Third Edition (1910) of the Check List. In all other instances reference to the original place of description, etc., is contained in the 'Check-List.'

Pages 29, 127. The North American Kites, Hawks, Falcons, Eagles, etc., are now placed in three families instead of one, as follows: BUTEONIDA†, containing the Kites, Hawks and Eagles (Nos. 327-352a); FALCONIDA† containing the Falcons and Caracaras (Nos. 353-363), and PANDIONIDA†, containing the Osprey (No. 364).

Pages 39, 162, 168. The subfamilies TroglodytinA| and MiminA| are now elevated to full family rank. The Mockingbirds and Thrashers (Nos. 702-712) are therefore the North American members of the Family MIMIDA†; and the Wrens (Nos. 713-725e) the North American members of the Family TROGLODYTIDA†.

Pages 39, 162, 169. The subfamilies SittinA| and ParinA| are now elevated to full family rank. The Nuthatches (Nos. 727 to 730a) are therefore the North American members of the Family SITTIDA†; and the Titmice (Nos. 732 to 746a, except Nos. 742 to 742c now placed in the Family CHAMA†IDA†, see beyond) the North American members of the Family PARIDA†.

Page 63. Cancel No. 94, _Puffinus fuliginosus_, which proves to be the same as No. 95, _Puffinus griseus_. The common name, however, is retained and the species stands =95, Sooty Shearwater= (_Puffinus griseus_). Characters as given.

Range--Oceans of Southern Hemisphere; occurs in summer on the Pacific coast from southern Alaska to Lower California, and on the Atlantic coast from Gulf of St. Lawrence to South Carolina.

Page 77. But one form of the Black Duck is recognized by the A.O.U. It stands as No. 133. Black Duck (_Anas rubripes_), which name, therefore, includes both Nos. 133 and 133a.

Page 92. After No. 197 add: =197a. Brewster's Egret= (_Egretta candidissima brewsteri_). Similar to No. 197 "but larger, bill longer, tarsus longer, and whole leg _very much_ heavier or thicker." [Male]. Tar. 4.36; B. 3.60. [Female]. Tar. 4.00; B. 3.42. (Thayer and Bangs).

Range--"Southern Lower California." (A.O.U.).

Page 97. After No. 210 add: =210.1. Light-footed rail.= (_Rallus levipes_) "Much smaller than either _R. obsoletus_ or _R. beldingi_, bill much more slender, tarsus and foot smaller than in either; superciliary white instead of rusty...." W. 5.70; T. 2.24; Tar. 1.81; B. 2.24. (Bangs).

Range--"Marshes of southern California, from Santa Barbara south to San Quintin Bay, Lower California; accidental in Arizona." (A.O.U.)

Page 98. After No. 216 add: =216.1. Farallon Rail= (_Creciscus coturniculus_). "Smaller [than No. 216] with much slenderer bill; the plumbeous of the under parts deeper, the chestnut-brown of the upper parts brighter and more extended, forming a broader patch on the nape and tinging more or less strongly and generally much of the top of the head where there is often no pure unmixed plumbeous or slaty save on the forehead." (Brewster).

Range--"Pacific coast of United States. Breeds in coast marshes of California; casual in Washington, Oregon and Lower California." (A.O.U.)

Page 103. After 266 add: =268. Bristle-thighed Curlew= (_Numenius tahitiensis_). Somewhat like _N. hudsonicus_, but thighs with long bristle-like feathers; tail pale rusty, barred with black; markings of back and wings pale rusty.

Range--"Alaska and Pacific Islands. Breeding range unknown; has been taken in summer in western Alaska from Kowak River to Kenai Peninsula; also on Laysan and Phoenix Islands; winters in islands of the South Pacific from Hawaii to New Caledonia" (A.O.U.). Classed with Accidental Visitants in first edition of 'Color Key.'

Page 112. Cancel No. 277a, Belted Piping Plover, which proves to be the same as No. 277, Piping Plover.

Page 117. After No. 297b add: =297c. Sierra Grouse= (_D. o. sierrA|_). Male resembles male of No. 297, but back less black and more heavily vermiculated with brown and gray; terminal tail-band narrower and more speckled with blackish; medium tail-feathers more heavily marked with gray or brownish; white neck-tufts practically absent; feathers of sides, flanks and under tail-coverts with less white. Much paler and more heavily vermiculated above than No. 297b.

Range--Ft. Klamath, Oregon south through the Sierras to Mount Pinos in South California.

Page 117. The ranges of the races of this bird (now known as Spruce Partridge, rather than Spruce Grouse) are given in the A.O.U. 'Check-List' as follows:

=298. Hudsonian Spruce Partridge= (_Canachites canadensis canadensis_).

Range--"Boreal forest region from the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains west of Edmonton, Alberta, east to Labrador Peninsula; also a disconnected area in Alaska from Bristol Bay to Cook Inlet and Prince William Sound."

Page 119. After No. 301b. add; =301c. Ungava Ptarmigan= (_L. l. ungavus_). Like No. 301 but with a heavier bill. Culmen, .82; depth of bill at base, .57 (Riley, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIV, 1911, p. 233).

Range--Ungava and probably the eastern shore of Hudson Bay.

Page 120. Remove the interrogation points from before Nos. 304 and 304a, the distinctions between which there presented having been accepted by the A.O.U., and amend Range of No. 304a. to read: "Alpine summits from central Alaska, northern Yukon, and northwestern Mackenzie south to Cook Inlet region, Kenai Peninsula and southern Yukon." (A.O.U.).

Page 120. After No. 302e. add: =302f. Dixon's Ptarmigan= (_L. r. dixoni_). Resembling _L. r. nelsoni_ in corresponding plumage, "but much darker; in extreme blackness of coloration nearly like _Lagopus evermanni_, but feathers of chest and back more or less finely vermiculated with hazel." (Grinnell).

Range--Islands near Sitka.

Page 120. After No. 302d. add: =302e. Adak Ptarmigan= (_L. r. chamberlaini_). Nearest _L. r. towsendi_ but with finer vermiculations above, and with black bars on neck and upper back reduced to very narrow bars or vermiculations. Grayest of the Aleutian Ptarmigan. (Clark).

Page 122. A change here in enumeration makes Merriam's Turkey No. 310, while the Wild Turkey (_M. g. silvestris_) becomes 310a.

Page 125. After No. 316 add: =316a. Western Mourning Dove= (_Z. m. marginella_). Similar to _Z. m. carolinensis_ but paler. (Mearns, Auk, 1911, p. 490).

Range--"Pacific Coast and San Clemente Island east to Mississippi Valley" (A.O.U.). The range of No. 316 should be correspondingly restricted.

Page 126. After No. 319 add: =319a. White-winged Dove= (_M. a. trudeaui_). Similar to _M. a. asiatica_ but "slightly larger, with a much longer bill and much paler coloration" (Mearns, Auk. 1911, p. 489).

Range--"Lower California, southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico and southern Texas, south to Costa Rica. Casual in southeastern California and Colorado; accidental in Washington" (A.O.U.).

Page 126. No. 319 becomes West Indian White-winged Dove (_Melopelia asiatica asiatica_). Its Range includes Cuba and Jamaica, and it is of casual occurrence in the Bahamas and Florida.

Page 132. After No. 337d. add =337e. Alaska Red-tail= (_B. b. alascensis_). Resembling _B. b. calurus_ "but smaller throughout, and, keeping in consideration the stage of plumage, dark areas blacker and more extended." [Male] W. 13.5; T. 7.67; [Female] W. 14.44; T. 8.69 (Grinnell).

Range--Southern half of Florida.

Page 140. No. 379 proves to be separable into southern and northern races. The former retains the name _Glaucidium gnoma gnoma_, while the race of northern Mexico and Western United States, heretofore known by that name, becomes _G. g. pinicola_, the Rocky Mountain Pygmy Owl. (Nelson, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., XXIII, 1910, p. 103).

Page 142. After No. 373h. add: =373i. Sahauro Screech Owl= (_O. a. gilmani_). Nearest No. 373f but smaller and paler and with black markings more restricted (Swarth, Univ. Cal. Pub. Zool., VII, 1910, p. 1).

Range--Northwestern America, south along the Pacific coast in winter. Status of California breeding birds still undetermined. (Grinnell, Univ. Cal. Pub. Zool., V, 1910, p. 289).

Page 150. After No. 393f. add: =393g. Newfoundland Woodpecker= (_D. v. terrA|norA|_). Similar to _D. V. villosus_, "but slightly larger, the black areas of the upperparts increased, the white areas reduced both in number and in size, especially in the remiges and wing-coverts," (Batchelder).

Range--Newfoundland.

Page 150. After No. 393e. add: =393h. White-breasted Woodpecker= (_D. v. leucothorectis_). "Much like No. 393e. but decidedly smaller; wing-coverts practically always without white spots." W. 4.83; T. 3.07; B. 1.10 (Oberholser, Proc. U. S. N. M. 40, 1908, p. 608).

Range--"Canadian and Transition Zones, from southern Utah, northwestern and central New Mexico and extreme southwestern Texas, south to the mountains of western Zacatecas, Mexico." (A.O.U.).

Page 151. After No. 396a. add: =396b. San Fernando Woodpecker= (_D. s. eremicus_). Similar to No. 396a, but larger; lower surface darker; upperparts darker, the white bars on back averaging narrower and less regular, the neck bars wider; black bars on posterior lower parts averaging somewhat wider." [Male] W. 4.16; T. 2.67; B. 1.02. (Oberholser, Proc. U. S. N. M. 41, 1911, P. 151).

Range--Lower California, north of Ukai and Plaia Maria Bay, except extreme northeastern portion" (A.O.U.). The Range of No. 396a is thus restricted to the southern half of Lower California.

Page 351. _Dryobates scalaris bairdi_ proves to be restricted to Mexico; No. 396, its representative in the southwestern United States, has been named Cactus Woodpecker (_D. s. cactophilus_). (Oberholser, Proc. U. S. N. M., 41, 1911, p. 152).

Range.--"Extreme southwestern California, northern Lower California, and southern Arizona south to southern Sonora" (A.O.U.). The Range of No. 414 is now restricted to "southern Lower California," that of No. 414 to "middle Lower California."

Page 160. After No. 439 add: =391.1 Salvin's Hummingbird= (_Uranomitra salvini_). Ad. [Male]. Head glittering blue; back dark shining green; tail dark glossy green, outer pair of feathers broadly tipped with drab; below soiled white; throat tinged with clayey white, sides of throat spotted with blue; sides of breast greenish blue; sides of body brilliant green.

Range.--"Huachuca Mountains, southern Arizona, and eastern Sonora (only two specimens known)" (A.O.U.).

Pages 162 and 166. The Waxwings alone now compose the Family BOMBYCILLIDA† (formerly AMPELIDA†) while the Phainopepla is placed in the Family PTILOGONATIDA†.

Pages 162 and 169. The subfamily ChamA|inA| is now elevated to full family rank and stands as Family CHAMA†IDA†, Wren-Tits. It contains solely the Wren-Tits, (Nos. 742 to 742c) the only family of birds restricted to North America.

Page 178. After No. 498f. add: =498g. Vera Cruz Red-wing= (_A. p. richmondi_). Similar to _A. p. floridanus_ but slightly smaller; adult female much lighter colored (resembling female of _A. p. sonoriensis_), about intermediate in color between females of _A. p. floridanus_ and _A. p. bryanti_.

Dorsal surface sooty black as in _stelleri_, but with blue on forehead nearly as extended as in _frontalis_. Tint of blue of posterior lower parts paler than in _=stelleri=_, and extending further forward into pectoral region as in _frontalis_" (Grinnell).

Range.--"Breeds in the humid Pacific coast strip from southern Oregon to the Santa Lucia mountains, California and east to the mountains on the west side of Napa Valley; in winter east to the Gabilan and Mt. Diablo ranges" (A. O. U).

Page 192. Cancel No. 530b, United States specimens of which prove to be merely adults of No. 530. Further west, however, black-backed birds are not found, and this western bird has been described as new. (Consequently after No. 530, add: =530a). Green-backed Goldfinch= (_A. p. hesperophilus_). Similar to _A. p. psaltria_ "but ear-coverts, sides of neck with back, nape, and rump, in fully adult plumage, olive-green instead of black" (Oberholser). Fig. 530 represents this area.

Range.--"Southwestern United States. Breeds from southern Oregon and Utah to southern Lower California, Sonora and extreme southwestern New Mexico; winters from central California to Cape San Lucas" (A.O.U.).

The Range of _A. g. psaltria_ is therefore restricted to "northern Colorado to central northern Texas and south throughout Mexico, except in northwestern and extreme southern portions; casual in Wyoming." (A.O.U.).

Page 194. Cancel No. 618d, Northern Yellow-throat, which proves to be the same as No. 681, Maryland Yellow-throat.

Page 196. After No. 652b. add: =652c. California Yellow Warbler= (_D. A|. brewsteri_). Differs from _D. A|. A|stiva_ in smaller size, paler (or less brightly yellow) coloration and, in the male, narrower streaking on under surface." Differs from _D. A|. rubiginosa_ "in much smaller size and yellower coloration," and "from _D. A|. sonorana_ in smaller size and darker coloration." [Male] W. 2.45; T. 1.96. [Female]. W. 2.33; T. 1.93 (Grinnell).

Range.--Pacific Coast, west of the Cascades, and the Sierra Nevada from Washington to southern California. (The range of _D. A|. A|stiva_ is correspondingly restricted).

Page 210. Cancel No. 464.2, Santa Barbara Flycatcher, which proves to be the same as No. 464, Western Flycatcher.

Page 211. Cancel No. 472a, Ridgway's Flycatcher, which proves to be the same as No. 472, Beardless Flycatcher.

Page 212. After No. 632c. add: =632a. Fraser's Vireo= (_V. h. cognatus_). Similar to _V. h. stephensi_, but wing averaging decidedly shorter, tarsus longer, and coloration paler. Wing, 2.48; Tar. .74 (Ridgway).

Range.--"Cape San Lucas district of Lower California (Sierra de la Laguna; Victoria Mountains); resident" (Ridgway).

Page 214. After No. 633a. add: =633b. Texas Vireo= (_V. b. medius_). "Similar to _V. b. belli_, but coloration paler and tail averaging longer; pileum and hindneck brownish gray instead of grayish brown; olive of back, etc. grayer; underparts whiter with olive-yellow of sides and flanks much paler; under tail-coverts and axillars white, yellowish white, or very pale sulphur yellow" (Ridgway).

Range.--"Southwestern Texas (Presidio, Brewster and Kinney Counties) south to Coahuila and Guanajuato, central Mexico" (A.O.U.).

Pages 215, 216. The Wren-Tits have been revised and their ranges more correctly defined, and to the two forms given two more have been added. The four races now recognized stand as follows: =742. Wren-Tit= (_ChamA|a fasciata fasciata_). Characters as described and figured.

Pages 240 and 241. The decisions of the A.O.U. Committee on numerous proposed changes in the standing of our Juncos were not published until after the first edition of the Color Key appeared. One new form (No. 567h) has been added to those therein given one (_J. o. shufeldti_) has been omitted and the following changes have been made in nomenclature:

No. 568. _Junco mearnsi_, becomes No. 567g, Junco hyemalis mearnsi, and the Range of this form is now given as "Rocky Mountain region. Breeds from southwestern Saskatchewan to southern Idaho and northern Wyoming and Colorado to southern Arizona, southern New Mexico, and northeastern Sonora" (A.O.U.).

No. 567.1 _Junco montanus_, becomes No. 567f. _Junco hyemalis montanus_.

No. 571.1 _Junco townsendi_, becomes No. 567i, _Junco hyemalis townsendi_.

No. 569 _Junco caniceps_, becomes No. 570b. _Junco phA|onotus caniceps_.

No. 570a. _Junco dorsalis_, becomes _Junco phA|onotus dorsalis_.

No. 567a. _Junco oreganus_, becomes _Junco hyemalis oreganus_.

No. 567c. _Junco oreganus thurberi_, becomes _Junco hyemalis thurberi_.

No. 567d. _Junco oreganus pinosus_, becomes _Junco hyemalis pinosus_.

The common names of all the preceding species remain unchanged.

No. 567b. Coues' Junco (_Junco oreganus connectens_) becomes Shufeldt's Junco (_Junco hyemalis connectens_), and this form also includes _J. o. shufeldti_ of the 'Color Key,' which is therefore cancelled. The Range of 567b, thus stands as follows:

Rocky Mountain region. Breeds from the coast of southern British Columbia east to west, central Alberta and south to northern Oregon; winters over entire Rocky Mountain tableland to eastern Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, Chihuahua, and Sonora; casual in northern Lower California" (A.O.U.).

The one new form added follows No. 568. after which insert =567h, Ridgway's Junco= (_J. h. annectens_). Back with a reddish brown patch as in _J. p. caniceps_, but sides washed with pinkish brown, as in _J. h. mearnsi_.

Range.--"Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico" (A.O.U.).

Page 242. Cancel No. 744.1, Santa Rita Bush-Tit, which proves to be the same as No. 745, Lloyd's Bush-Tit.

Range.--Alaska, north and west of Cook Inlet.

Page 248. After No. 622c add the northeastern form of the Loggerhead Shrike, which is intermediate between _L. l. ludovicianus_ and _L. l. excubitorides_ and has been separated as =622e. Migrant Shrike= (_L. l. migrans_). Similar to _L. l. ludovicianus_ but bill smaller and colors averaging paler. Not so pale as, and lacking the whitish upper tail-coverts of _L. l. excubitorides_.

Male much like the female of _P. subis_ but brighter, more uniformly steel-blue above. Female like female of _P. subis_ but brighter, more uniformly gray, the belly whiter, without black shaft streaks; the nape without sign of a collar in either sex. W. 5.2.

Range.--Breeds from Lower Rio Grande in Texas south to southern Brazil.

Range.--"San Antonio, Texas, south through eastern Mexico, Yucatan and central America to Panama" (A.O.U.).

The Range of No. 496 is hence restricted to the region from northwestern Mexico to southern Arizona.

APPENDIX II.

FAUNAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

When one is engaged in a study of the birds of a certain region or locality it is of the first importance to learn what has been published about them by previous workers. Such information may appear in general works on the bird-life of a large area, but more frequently it is found in 'local lists' of the birds of a limited district. These lists constitute one of the most characteristic and numerous types of ornithological publication. They are of value to the student of distribution and migration, in the broader phases of these subjects, and they are of especial interest and assistance to students living in the region to which they relate.

The appended titles of works of this nature have been selected from a card catalogue of faunal publications which the author began to prepare some twenty years ago, in part with regard to their historic importance, but mainly on the basis of their present working value.

Unfortunately many of these papers are now out of print or are hidden in scientific publications of but limited circulation and are therefore correspondingly inaccessible. When, however, other means to secure them fail, the Librarian of the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City, may be consulted with a view to securing, at cost, a type written copy of any list desired.
