Most of tliese genera are useless and burdensome synonyms, resulting from the authors' 

 purism in rejecting prior names not 'classical" in form — a practice totally' indefensible, unless 

 in exceptional cases. 



The original scope of the Mui<. Hein., as begun by Cabanis alone in 18.50, was much enlarged 

 in later parts by Cabanis & Heine. Thus, Theil IV. (Scansores), of which this Heft 2 con- 

 sists of the Picidm, amounts *to a monography oi' the several families treated. Elaborate 

 Latin descriptions of all the species in the collection are given, with a copious synou^'my of 

 each ; and many other species are a^o as fully treated in German, in the foot-notes, which 

 latter form a running commentary, especially full in synonymy and in criticism of the lite- 

 rary infelicities of previous writers who misspelled or misformed their generic names. The 

 authors are careful to express their sili-prise at these ' ' barbarisms " with the note of exclama- 

 tion, and, what is more to the point, to give the etymology of the many new names they are 

 pleased to invent for themselves. Cf. Ibig, 1865, p. 101,
