Tho first order, Raptores, of Savigny's System, appeared in 1809 in the first livxaison of the 

 general woi'k, and was intended to form part of a considerable treatise. It is here that we

 the 17 genera which the author adopts are characterized on pp. 8, 9. They are as follows:—

The text consis^ts cliiefly (besides brief characters of the species and genera) of a most 

 elaborate and erudite synonymy of the names applied to these bird.s by ancient .and modern 

 authors. 



The interesting copy handled is annotated in Savigny's handwriting, and was formerly 

 presented by bini to Latreille.
