The followiDg list contaias names which appear to be first introduced into 

 binomial aomeuclatnre at the place given, and I am recording them for the sake of 

 criticism. 



Briinnich in the Zool. Fund., ITT'2, gave diagnoses of some ninety-two genera, 

 and lience many " Brissonian genera" can be utilized as of this place, as Briinnich 

 mainly followed Brisson. Scopoli, in the Intro. Hi.it. Nat. 1T77, also noted some 

 ninety-two names, but he used side by side the different names given by Brisson 

 and Linne to similar groups, so that a disturbing factor is here mat with. Scbaeffcir, 

 in the Elem. Ornith. Icon. 1TT4, and 2nd Ed. 1TT9, reproduced the Brissonian 

 classification, but in these works he was not binomial ; in the Mm. Oniithol. 1T89 

 he still followed the Brissonian scheme but adopted biuoraiality; he applied the 

 sy.stem most consistently, as out of two hundred and twenty-nin' species recorded, 

 in only seven instances are other than binomials nscd. This work must therefore be 

 accepted, and through it other Brissonian names gain a valid introduction. A few 

 other Brissonian generic names were binominally used by such writers as Pallas, 

 S. G. Gmelin, Boddaert, etc., and as a conscjuence few of the " Brissonian genera " 

 need alteration save as to the authority.
