 besides soveial "varieties" of each of these genera excepting the first. There is much recti- 

 fication of synonymy according to tlie views of the writer, which are not in cntii e accord with 

 those of other authors. Cf. Coues, Am. Xat, 1.S74. 



Glaucidium, is treated on pp. 91-106. This is the first elaborate monograph of the genus, 

 and led to the subsequent revisions of the group by Mr. Sharpe (1875) and Mr. Eidgway (1876). 

 (See antea under Strigidce.) The species allowed in this monograph are G. passerinum var. 

 californicum, (r=Cr. gnoma). G. pumilum, G. lansbergii (;=rufous phase of G. jardinii), G. 

 jardinii, G. ferrugineum, G. infuscatunn (^=G.ferrugineuin), G. infuscatum var. gnoma {=G. 

 femigineum.), G. nanum, and G. sijii. G. lansbergii is described as new, (but has been deter- 

 mined to be the rufous phase of G. jardinii). — The rectifications here given in parentlie.sis are 

 derived from the author's later study.
