Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eggs of North American Birds The present work on the Eggs of North American Birds embodies the results of my studies on this subject during the past thirty years. During this time, many thousand specimens have been examined and notes made on them. Besides this, I have, when necessary, supplemented my own observations with those of others, and have consulted all available works upon the subject for this purpose. But, unless so stated, I am responsible for the descriptions. I have deemed it quite unnecessary to repeat descriptions of the eggs of allied species where the differences in the average specimens are indistinguishable, but have simply stated this fact. All of the names of the species and sub-species of birds which occur within the prescribed limits are included in the work; and, CA-en if their eggs are unknown, the breeding ran re, when known, is given. No eggs are described unless the identification of the specimen is absolutely correct. In the matter of nomenclature, I have followed that of the American Ornithologists´ Union, hoping thereby to secure unchanging uniformity of names, while the boundary lines established by that body are also used as defining the limits of the North American avifauna. I have, however, made a few minor changes, where I have personally differed in opinion as to the specific or sub-specific rank of certain birds.
