Excerpt from A Geographical and Comparative List of the Birds of Europe and North America Species indicated in this list that have not yet appeared in his work, together with such others as his unrivalled industry may add to the existing Fauna. It is easy to perceive the advantages likely to result from a careful comparison of the natural productions of a fully inhabited country with those of another, the climate of which is in many respects the same. Botanists have contributed much to further, so to speak, our acquaintance with the Planet on which we live I refer especially to those Botanists who continue daily to add to the edifice of Vegetable Geography - a temple of which the foundations were laid, and the framework erected, by the truly illustrious Humboldt. Zoologists, however, up to the present time have been most remiss in their attention to Ornithological Geography; and I am not on that account the more backward in contributing my share to this branch-of knowledge. As in the Specchio Comparativo, the reader will find in the same line the species which are common to both Continents, as well as those which, although different, are to be regarded as corresponding to each other, by a greater or less degree of affinity or analogy.
