Thirty-Second Supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-List of North American Birds

American Ornithologists' Union, Eisenmann E, Amadon D, Banks RC, Howell TR, Johnson NK, Lowery GH, Parkes KC, Storer RW. 1973. Thirty-Second Supplement to the American Ornithologists' Union Check-List of North American Birds. The Auk. 90(2):411-419

The present supplement covers changes in names accepted by the Committee on Classification and Nomenclature since the publication of the A.O.U. 'Checklist of North American Birds' and is restricted to taxa mentioned in that edition. The cases treated fall into two groups: changes for purely nomenclature reasons, many of them required by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and changes involving taxonomic decisions. The changes are intended to conform to the treatment currently believed correct by the great majority of active systematists.
