The orders Grallatores and Natatores I must leave for another 

 opportunity. The foregoing list is far from being so exact as I 

 could have wished, and the specific names do not, in all cases, agree 

 with the excellent rule laid down by Wilson, namely, of expressing 

 some peculiarity common to no other of the genus. This, indeed, 

 in several cases would be almost impossible ; as in the case of the 



October, 1835. — vol. hi. no. xiii. D.
