=LIST OF BIRD SPECIES MENTIONED IN TEXT=
NOTE: For all North American species the authors have followed
nomenclature in the 1957 edition of the A.O.U. Check-list. Also, we
have incorporated the new names presented in the April 1973 issue of
The Auk (volume 90, number 2, pages 411-419), the quarterly journal
of the A.O.U. For other parts of the world we have used the most
authoritative sources available.

Created in 1849, the Department of the Interior--America's Department
of Natural Resources--is concerned with the management, conservation,
and development of the Nation's water, fish, wildlife, mineral,
forest, and park and recreational resources. It also has major
responsibilities for Indian and Territorial affairs.
As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department works
to assure that nonrenewable resources are developed and used wisely,
that park and recreational resources are conserved for the future,
and that renewable resources make their full contribution to the
progress, prosperity, and security of the United States--now and in
the future.
