Abstract
THE object of the present work, of which the volume before us is only the first, is to provide, as we learn from the preface, a systematic list of all the genera and species of birds inhabiting Argentina, mainly from the point of view of their geographical distribution, for the use, chiefly, of students of ornithology in the Republic. Most of the species common to the neighbouring countries of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and of the frontiers of Chili and Uruguay are included, since it is highly probable that the birds of these regions will be discovered in the Argentine when it is more fully explored. In cluded also are all the species inhabiting the archipelagoes and islands lying off the shores, as well as the lands extending southward to the Antarctic circle.
