" This useful publication consists of a masterly digest of M. ^lallierbe's great 'Monogra- 

 phic des Picidee.s,' published at Metz between 18.59 and 1862. Each .species is fully described, 

 references being made to the works in which it is flgitred (when such is the case), and its 

 habitat stated. Excellent indices are also added. The Pieidce are divided into three genera 

 only . . . — a very ditfeient treatment of the family frtmi that of most modem authors. "We 

 think it needless to indicate the precise limits of the smaller groups of species, or their rela- 

 tion to the too numerous so-called genera which have been lately instituted ; for the work 

 is one which must be consulted by any one working up tlie famil\-. and its last pages contain 

 a concise synopsis of their contents . . . The whole of this careful work is in Latin." (Zool. 

 Pec. iii, p. 77). Cf. also Ibis, 1866, pp. 415, 416.
