EXPLANATION OF THE WORK 



The present work is intended to include all the species and sub- 

 species 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 fam- 

 ilies 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. Ridgway's 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 pos- 

 sible) 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 repre- 

 sented in the Museum's collection having been secured by expedi- 

 tions during the past few years. 



In the following pages the presence of an * preceding the name of 

 a species indicates that it is represented in the Field Museum collection 

 by one or more specimens and when duplicates are available for ex-

6 EXPLANATION OF THE WORK. 



change the fact is indicated by the presence of a f preceding the number 

 of specimens. 



Classification: In the present state of our knowledge of birds of 

 the world no system of classification yet evolved can be considered as 

 more than tentative. That proposed by Gadow (1892) has much to 

 recommend it, but in a work of this character, convenience of reference 

 is an important factor to be considered and I have, therefore, adopted 

 the sequential arrangement proposed by Sharpe in 1891 (and used in his 

 Hand List of Birds and later practically by Brabourne and Chubb in 

 their List of Birds of South America) for the Orders and Families, but 

 numerous changes in the nomenclature and arrangement of Genera and 

 species were unavoidable, being obviously desirable to conform with 

 their more modern usage. 



I am greatly indebted to the authorities of our leading Museums and 

 others for so generously granting requests for the loan of specimens 

 (including many types) and acknowledgments for such courtesies will 

 be made later, but I wish here to especially express my thanks to Dr. 

 Frank M. Chapman, Professor Robert Ridgway, Dr. C. W. Richmond, 

 Dr. Witmer Stone, and Mr. Outram Bangs for much valuable informa- 

 tion which has greatly aided me in my work.

 pulsatrix is larger and the upper parts, head, throat, and crest, are much lighter 

 brown (light chocolate instead of blackish brown) and quite uniform in shade, while 

 in P. perspicillata the head and upper parts of back are much blacker than the

 obsolete darker bands (instead of belly whitish with dark brown bands) ; upper parts 

 more chocolate brown (not so sooty brown) ; the pale patch on middle of chest and

 acadica (cf. Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 50, VI, 1914, p. 629, foot note). It would 

 seem likely, however, that the type of scotaea may prove to be a phase of plumage of 

 the Queen Charlotte Island-bird, in which case, brooksi would be antedated by 

 scotaea, and the name of the Island race would stand as Cryptoglaux acadica scotaea

 the British Museum and while it approaches nearest to T. subulatus, it can be dis- 

 tinguished at a glance from any specimen of that species seen by me.

a "Char. gen. Most nearly related to Siphonorhis; Scl. (monotypic; type 5. 

 americana) but nasal tubes shorter, 1.5 mm. in height (in skin) as compared with 3 

 mm. in Siphonorhis; bill disproportionally smaller, its outline from above more regu- 

 larly triangular, less shield-shaped, the upper mandible not convex in outline, the 

 ridge on its cutting edge less developed; rictal bristles apparently actually stronger; 

 tail squarer, less graduate; tarsus and toes disproportionately longer." (Chap- 

 man, 1. c.). 



b Microsiphonorhis brewsteri CHAPMAN: " In general coloration resembling Sipho- 

 norhis americana, but paler throughout, throat and pectoral band white sharply 

 denned from the black sub terminal area, which is much broader; abdominal region 

 buffy white instead of ochraceous buff, more narrowly and less regularly barred; 

 tertials narrwoly tipped with white." (Chapman, I.e.). Size smaller; female: 

 wing, 119.5; tail, 94.4; bill, 8.5 mm. Detailed description given. The type, an 

 adult female is the only known specimen.

a Thermochalcis cayennensis tobagensis (RIDGWAY): Differs from T. c. cayen- 

 nensis (GMEL.) in lighter coloration and more white on the lateral rectrices, and 

 wing and tail shorter. Differs from T. c. insularis (RICHMOND) in having inner webs 

 of all rectrices (except middle pair) mostly white; tail shorter. Very close to T. c. 

 cayennensis (see Ridgway, Bds. N. & M. Am., VI, 1914, p. 498, footnote). It is 

 probable that if the Tobago bird proves separable, it should stand as Thermochalcis c. 

 leopetes Jardine and Selby. 



b Thermochalcis cayennensis monticola (CHAPMAN): Differs from T. c. cayen- 

 nensis (GMEL.) in having longer wings and tail and bill larger; breast and flanks more 

 heavily barred and tail bands wider. The female is much darker (and other char- 

 acters). Differs from T. c. albicauda (LAWRENCE) in males having the black bar 

 crossing the white vane of the tail feathers (and other characters). The female is 

 darker above and much deeper buff below than in albicauda.

* Nyctipolus hirundinaceus hirundinaceus (Spix) : Outer webs of at least the two 

 outer primaries (sometimes three) without white mark. Somewhat resembles 

 Chordeiles acutipennis (Boon.), but aside from generic differences it may be dis- 

 tinguished at a glance by the much shorter wing (wing of C. acutipennis is more 

 than 150 mm.). Setopagis parvulus (GOULD) with which it has sometimes been 

 confounded, may be distinguished at a glance from any of the forms of N. hirundi- 

 naceus by its much darker plumage and the conspicuous black and white (sometimes 

 black and buff) scapulars (see Hellmayr, i.e., Tab. 2). The pattern of the white 

 markings on the primaries approaches nearest to that of N. h crissalis (CORY) but in 

 parvulus these areas are much larger and two specimens from Matto Grosso (cf and 9 ) 

 have two buff spots on the inner web of the outer primary instead of white ones. 

 In addition to other characters males of S. parvulus have a patch of white on the 

 ends of four outer tail feathers instead of on only the two outer feathers as in N. 

 hirundinaceus (see Hellmayr, I.e., p. 637, illustrations). 



b Nyctipolus hirundinaceus crissalis CORY. Differs from N. h. hirundinaceus 

 (Spix) in slightly different coloration and in having only the first outer primary 

 without white mark. Wing, 118; tail, 86 mm.

* Phaethornis yaruqui sancti-johannis HELLMAYR: According to Hellmayr it 

 differs from P. y. yaruqui (BoyRC.) in having shorter bill, broader and darker post- 

 ocular and malar streaks, median throat stripe wider and confluent with the smoke- 

 gray abdomen, which is only slightly spotted with metallic green; whereas in P. y. 

 yaruqui the under parts are largely metallic green and the throat with a median 

 stripe of sooty blackish. Chapman (I.e.) states that it differs chiefly in its grayer 

 under parts. 



b As stated by Hartert (Nov. Zool., IV, 1897, p. 29) Phaethornis superciliosus 

 (LiNN.) based upon Polytmus cayanensis longicaudus BRISSON clearly refers to the 

 smaller bird with tawny and buff colored throat and breast, having a distinctly 

 marked throat and bill about l> inches long (slightly less according to Brisson). 

 Audebert and Vieillot, 1802, figured a bird with larger and longer bill; dusky marked 

 throat, and more grayish under parts (which was later described by Nordmann as 

 malaris) evidently supposing it to superciliosus LINN, and he was followed by Lesson, 

 1831, and later by Gould. Gould evidently supposing that Nordmann had merely 

 redescribed superciliosus and having specimens from "Guiana," which were quite 

 different, again described the smaller and more buffy bird as fraterculus. 



1 strongly suspect that the type of P. superciliosus LINN, came from British 

 Guiana. 



d I have examined specimens identified as guianensis by Boucard. 



e Phaethornis superciliosus moorei (LAWR.) : Differs from P. s. superciliosus 

 (LiNN.) from Guiana, in smaller size; bill shorter and more slender; gular stripe more 

 distinct; under parts less rufescent.

8 Phaethornis fuliginosus SIMON: Somewhat resembles Phaethornis anthrophilus 

 (BouRC.), but differs in having the entire throat and chin blackish with the feathers 

 very delicately bordered by obscure gray, the breast becoming gradually paler and 

 the abdomen whiter, tinged with faun (without grayish); the head lacks the clear 

 bands above and below the eye, but with a mark of black on each side of the eye, 

 which is more intense than the black of the throat; two outer rectrices on each side 

 entirely black (not bordered with white). Wing, 58; middle rectrices, 50; bill, 34.5 

 mm. 



b Phaethornis fumosus (SCHLUTER) : Upper parts dark bronze green, clouded with 

 grayish borders to the feathers; upper tail coverts copper bronze green; top of head 

 gray, slightly metallic; under parts uniform "rufbraun-grau," slightly metallic; 

 under tail coverts more strongly metallic; a brownish black streak under and behind 

 the eye; middle pair (longest) tail feathers dark bronze green with extensive clear 

 gray tips; the next pair bronze green at bases, then blackish gray with grayish tips; 

 rest of tail feathers similar but without the extensive gray tips. Wing, 61; tail, 75; 

 bill, 31 mm. The characters given for the under parts distinguish it from all 

 known species of the genus. (See translation of original description).

 P. hispidus hispidus GOULD from Bolivia in "smaller size and somewhat paler under 

 parts." 



b Phaethornis hispidus villosus (LAWRENCE) : Described by Lawrence as differing 

 from P. h. hispidus GOULD chiefly in having the edges to the upper tail coverts and 

 feathers of the rump buff, not hoary or whitish as in adults of P. h. hispidus. 



Phaethornis syrmatophorus columbianus BOUCARD : Differs from P. s. syrma- 

 tophorus GOULD in having the malar streak and a stripe down middle of under parts 

 white (not with white stripe restricted to the throat, the malar streak buff, and the 

 rest of the under parts ochraceous buff as in typical P. s. syrmatophorus) ; the rump 

 and upper tail coverts also differ in being uniform ochraceous buff.

Phaethornis striigularis subrufescens CHAPMAN: "Similar to P. s. striigularis 

 GOULD, but smaller, with a shorter bill; under parts more rufescent, the throat more 

 uniform and less streaked." (Chapman, I.e.). 



b According to Chapman (Bull. Am. Mus. N. H., XXXVI, 1917, p. 283) this 

 bird is more nearly allied to longuemareus than to striigularis. From lack of speci- 

 mens I am unable to determine its proper status. 



Phaethornis striigularis ignobilis TODD: Similar to P. s. striigularis GOULD, but 

 throat more uniform, under parts paler, and rectrices with broader white edges and 

 tips, the edgings of the outer rectrices more buffy and the hind neck and rump paler 

 cinnamomeous.

I have examined the type of S. bracei LAWRENCE. The specimen is a mummy in 

 poor condition and apparently discolored (probably by the preservative) and in my 

 opinion is a discolored specimen of the bird which occurs commonly on Andros and 

 Abaco Islands. The fact that no specimens of Riccordia have since been recorded 

 from New Providence would suggest that no race exists there and that the occurrence 

 of the type specimen of bracei on that Island (if the locality given is correct) was 

 accidental.

 485) states that birds from eastern Ecuador (Baeza) are larger and easily distin- 

 guished by their conspicuously buffy under tail coverts and are probably sub- 

 specifically distinct. "In this case it is hardly possible that those from Peru and 

 Bolivia should represent true C. cyanotis."

 upper parts of breast, grayish buff; lower breast and abdomen dark gray washed 

 with bronzy green; lower breast and abdomen dark gray washed with bronzy-green; 

 sides of breast and flanks purple; under tail coverts buff y- white with greenish line

b The type of Aeronympha prosantis Oberholser (No. 11852, Field Museum of

 found among a lot of birds from Colombia collected by C. Balen (no date or defi- 

 nite locality). I have seen no females or immature males of H. rothschildi for 

 comparison and it may represent a distinct form of Heliangelus. Messrs. Simon and 

 Hellmayr (I.e.) believe it to be an immature H. rothschildi. 



Heliangelus claudia HARTERT: Back slightly glossed with purple; forehead with 

 purplish black spot; throat bluish hyacinth (somewhat like H. violicollis, but not so 

 deep and less violet); pectoral band whitish; under tail coverts white; abdomen 

 grayish black. Wing, 65; tail, 42; bill, 16 mm.

 differs from either. He suggests that more material from that locality will probably 

 show birds from that region to constitute a distinct race.

 shorter (about 12 mm.); tail decidedly shorter, the outer rectrices between 112 and 

 1 20 mm. long; grayish buff of outer edges of outer rectrix more extended (about 

 two thirds the length of the feather). 



c Psalidoprymna pallidiventris SIMON: General appearance of P. gouldi and P. z. 

 gracilis, but differs in having the abdomen decidedly more whitish in the middle and 

 speckled with green on the sides (instead of tawny rufous) ; under tail coverts with 

 disks of greenish bronze bordered with white with a tinge of pale buff (not brilliant 

 green broadly edged with buff as in gouldi or brilliant green more extensively edged 

 with rufous buff) ; lateral rectrices (upper surface) dull black, except at the tip, which 

 shows a small spot of green or bronze green (beneath) blackish blue (not with greenish 

 luster above and blackish green below as in the other species); rest of rectrices 

 brilliant green towards the ends and blackish green toward the bases. Bill about the 

 same as gouldi, longer than in gracilis.

* Popelairia langsdorffi melanosteron (GOULD) : Similar to P. /. langsdorffi, but 

 differs in having the crown grass green and the under parts darker and more golden 

 on lower breast. 



b Popelairia conversii aequatorialis BERLEPSCH and TACZANOWSKI: Authorities 

 differ as to the standing of this subspecies. It is recognized by Hartert (I.e.) and 

 Ridgway (I.e.), and Brabourne and Chubb, but questioned by Salvin, Boucard (I.e.) 

 and Berlepsch. It is supposed to differ in its more bluish pectoral spot; longer bill 

 and upper tail coverts more bronzy and less green. Chapman considers birds from 

 western Colombia to be typical P. conversii conversii. I therefore restrict the range 

 of P. c. aequatorialis to Ecuador, although this conflicts with Ridgway's statement 

 that he is unable to distinguish Costa Rican and Panaman specimens from those 

 from Ecuador (I.e., footnote, p. 680).
