Forty-first supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-list of North American birds

This seventh supplement after the publication of the 6 th edition (1983) of the AOU Check-list of North American Birds includes taxonomic and nomenclatural changes adopted by the Committee on Classification and Nomenclature between 15 March 1995 and 15 March 1997. Because this will be the last supplement before the publication of the 7 th edition of the Check-list , it also summarizes other decisions made by the Committee since 1983 that were not intended to affect the 6 th edition but rather were to lay the foundation for its successor. Most of those decisions relate to sequence or rank of certain taxonomic categories. The Committee believes that compendia such as the Check-list are not appropriate places for the first appearance of novel taxonomic treatments or rearrangements. Therefore, we take the opportunity of this supplement to inform you of the ways in which the 7 th edition will differ from the 6 th . The style of this supplement differs from that of the previous six because they were designed to provide detailed changes to the text in the 6 th edition; this one also is to provide information on how the 7 th edition will differ from the 6 th . Many details on reasons for the change will be discussed in the Preface or text of the new volume.

Thirty-eighth supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-list of North American birds

This fourth supplement after the 6th edition (1983) of the AOU "Check-list of North American Birds" consists of changes adopted by the Committee on Classification and Nomenclature between 1 March 1989 and 1 March 1991. The changes fall into eight categories: (1) five species ( Ixobrychus sinensis, Porphyrula flavirostris, Sterna bergii, Streptopelia orientalis , and Ficedula narcissina ) are added to the main list because of new distributional information; (2) six species ( Pterodroma cervicalis, Ortalis wagleri, Lophornis brachylopha, Corvus sinaloae, Cinclocerthia gutturalis , and Loxops caeruleirostris ) are added to the list because of the splitting of species previously in the list; (3) one extinct species ( Dysmorodrepanis munroi ) is added to the list because of re-identification of the unique type; (4) one scientific name ( Speotyto cunicularia ) is changed because of generic splitting; (5) one scientific name ( Phalacrocorax brasilianus ) is changed for nomenclature reasons, accompanied by a change in English name; (6) the spelling of one scientific name ( Neocrex colombianus ) is corrected; (7) to other English names are changed or corrected; and (8) one sequencing change is made. No new distributional information is included except as noted above (i.e. minor changes of distribution of distributional records within North America are not included). The twelve additions bring the number of species recognized as occurring within the Check-list area (main list) to 1957.

Thirty-seventh supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-list of North American birds

This third supplement subsequent to the 6th edition (1983) of the A.O.U. "Check-list of North American Birds" consists of changes adopted by the Committee on Classification and Nomenclature as of 1 March 1989. The changes fall into nine categories: (1) six species are added to the main list ( Pterodroma longirostris, Larus crassirostris, Streptopelia decaocto, Cocccyzus julieni, Chrysolampis mosquitus, Emberiza aureola ) because of new distributional information; (2) five species ( Ara cubensis, Chlorostilbon bracei, Empidonax occidentalis, Polioptila californica, Pipilo crissalis ) are added to the main list because of the splitting of species already on the list; (3) one name ( Anthus rubescens ) is changed because of the splitting of a species from outside the Checklist area; (4) two names ( Morus bassanus, Nyctanassa violacea ) is removed from the main list to Appendix B because of re-evaluation of Northern Hemisphere records; (6) three species ( Pterodrama rostrata, P. alba, P. solandri ) are moved from Appendix A to Appendix B, and one ( P. defilippiana ) is added to Appendix B because of questionable sight records; (7)A.O.U. numbers are added to three species ( Ciccaba virgata, Myiopagis viridicata, Molothrus bonariensis ) on the basis on new distributional records or supporting data; (8) several corrections in spelling or citations are made; and (9) English names are changed for twelve species to accommodate worldwide usage of these names. No new distributional information is included except as indicated above (i.e. minor changes of distribution are not noted). These actions bring the number of species recognized as occurring in North America (main list) to 1,945.
