About this book
A systematic catalogue of every species described in his larger works, this Synopsis was prepared by John James Audubon in 1839 as an index to The Birds of America and Ornithological Biography. In it he corrects the names and arranges the birds into families and genera, covering the region from northern Mexico to the Polar Seas. Each entry gives characters, range and references to earlier authors. The plates cited were sold separately and are not part of the book. It was printed in Edinburgh, and Audubon thanks his friend William Macgillivray for his advice.
