An important review of tbe subject. TMs is the first of numerous articles upon Cuban 

 birds, wholly or in part by Dr. Gundlach ; it is chiefly to be regrettetl that in the beginning 

 insufficient attention to preci.sion of identification resulted in too many ''additions and cor- 

 rections". The present series constitutes a systematic sjTiop.sis of Cuban birds, the techni- 

 calities by Cabanis, the field-notes by Gundlach. Hypomorphmts giradlachii, p. Ixxx ; Phyl-
