Detwiller, of Bethlehem-all gentlemen well versed in ornithological science-and others* spared no pains to assist in securing reliable information relating to our feathered fauna. To Mr. Benjamin M. Everhart, of West Chester, a gentleman who deservedly ranks as one of the foremost botanical authorities in this country, the writer is particularly indebted for much valuable assistance in the prepa- ration of the present work. Mr. Everhart, although specially interested in the study of cryptogamic botany, has for over forty years devoted much attention to the study of birds, and while he has become eminent in botanical circles his knowledge of the feathered tribes is such that he is one of the best ornithologists in the state. The copious field notes (manuscript) of Mr. Everhart, also his large and valuable scientific library, having been plac^ed at the disposal of the writer, a considerable amount of interesting and valuable matter has been given on the follow- ing pages that would not otherwise have been obtained.
