Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New-York, 1828, Vol. 2 IT was the author's intention to have deferred the publica tion of the present Synopsis, as announced in the preface to the continuation of Wilson's Ornithology, until the appear ance of the concluding volume of that work; when it might, with the attention which time would enable him to bestow upon it, be made more worthy of meeting the public eye. It having been suggested, however, that even in its present state, its publication might facilitate the study of the branch of Natural History to which it relates; and moreover, thinking that it might contribute to the perfection of the future edition, he begs leave to submit it for the consideration of the Lyceum. No species has been admitted to a place in the following Synopsis, that is not described in the standard work of Wil son, and adopted in our observations on the Nomenclature of his Ornithology; or that has not been since discovered or ascertained by us to be actually an inhabitant of the United States. The latter will appear in our Natural History of the birds not given by that justly admired author. All other species stated to inhabit the United States, on whatever authority, we regard as apocryphal; and we have no hesita tion in declaring, that the discoverer of a bird not noticed here, will render an important service to science by publishing an account of it.
