The same general plan has been followed, as explained in previous bulletins, and the same sources of information have been utilized. The nomenclature of the 1931 Check-list of the American Ornithologists Union has been followed. An attempt has been made to give as full a life history as possible of the best-known subspecies of each species and to avoid duplication by writing briefly of the other subspecies. In many cases certain habits, probably common to the species as a whole, have been recorded for only one subspecies; as such habits are mentioned only under the subspecies on which the observations were made, it would be well to read all the accounts in order to get the whole story for the species. The distribution deals with the species as a whole, with only rough outlines of the ranges of the subspecies, which in many cases cannot be accurately defined.
