     This is issued as the second edition of the "’ Key ” published in 1872, 
     
     but is really the first edition of the new “ Key." Several reprints, with 
     
     an appendix giving newly described birds, recent changes in nomencla- 
     
     ture. etc., have appeared. The influence of this work in promoting 
     
     ornithological research in America can not be overestimated. To one 
     
     intending to enter upon the scientific study of birds it is indispensable.
