xi. 1859, pp. 104-108.) The anatomical characters in mention are figured in the woodcuts, pp. 

 124-126. Podargus and allied forms, such as Nyctibins, may require to be separated as a dis- 

 tinct family. The Gaprimulgidce are divided upon the foregoing considerations into 3 sub- 

 families : 1, Podargince {Podargns, JBatrachosiomus, JEgotheles, NycUbius); 2, Steatornithince 

 (single genus) ; 3, Gaprimulgince, (a) Glabrirostres (Podager, Lurocalis. Chordiles, Lyncornig, 

 Eurystopodus), and (b) Setirostres (Caprimulgus, Scotornis, Macrodiptcryx, Antrostomus, 

 Stenopsis, Hydropsalis, Haleothreptus, Nyctidromus, Siphonorhis) . The American forms are 

 treated in a synonymatic and diagnostic list of 42 spp., with critical and biographical remarks, 

 and a table of geographical distribution. — Stenopsis ruficervix, sp. n., p. 140, pi. xiv; Antrot-

The paper is an raterestiag one, with much on the literature of the subject, and very full 

 treatment of 28 spp., "According to the colour of the Eggs the birds may be ananged in /our 

 groups — those laying (1) glossy eggs with a white ground, blotched with brownish- or bluish- 

 gray, (2) very glossy eggs with a greenish-white ground, spotted and streaked with greenish- 

 brown and gray, (3) dull and delicate eggs with a pale reddish cream-coloured or lively-flesh- 

 coloured ground marked with yeUowish-red and violet-grej', and (4) uusiJotted eggs more or 

 less white. The first of these is the prevailing type, especially iu the northern hemisphere 

 and the temperate districts of the Old "World ; the second is the uoithern type of the New 

 "World; the third the southern type, especially in the Xew "World, and the fourth the Poly- 

 nesian type, which is special for the Podargince and Steatornithince. The accounts of the 

 different species are given in much detail and with great apparent accuracy." (Zool. Rec, 



1869, p. 57.)
