In this excellent monograph the author, after reviewing the previous arrangements of the 

 group, especially insisting upon the separation of the family from the Scansorial Barbets or 

 Oapitonidce, and noting their restriction to tropical America, divides the species into four 

 genera: 1) Bucco with Tamatia, Ghaunornis and Cyphos as subgenera, 2) Malacoptila with 

 Nonnula as a subgenus, 3) Monasa, 4) Chelidoptera. Bueco has 15 .spp., Malacoptila 12, 

 Monasa 4, Chelidoptera 2. These 33 species are carefully worked out, with all the synonomy 

 the author was able to discover (excepting that relating to Capita senilin Tschudi = Bucco 

 senilis Poeppig MS.), diagnosis, habitats, and critical comment. The species figured are 

 Bucco ruficollis, pi. 1 ; B. bicinctus, pi. 2 ; B. lanceolatus, pi. 3 ; Chelidoptera albipennis, pi. 4. 

 The name Nonnula Scl. is new or recently so. Several lately new species of Sclater'* were 

 described in the P. Z. S. for Dec. 13, 1853.
