A very elaborate article, descriptive, synonymatic and critical, iu wliicli the distinction of 

 these two species is maintained. The synonymy is very copious. 



1875. RiDGWAY, R. On the Buteonine Subgenus Craxirex, Gould. <^ Proc. Acad. Xat. 

 Sci. Phila., 1875, pp. 89-119. 



Very complete treatment, with copious synonymy, exh.austive description, and much crit- 

 ical comment, of 6 spp. : Buteo (Craxirex) galapagoensis, poliosoiniis, erythronotus, albicauda- 

 tits, swainsoni, and pennsylcanicus, which are all the species the author allows to stand in this 

 particular group, distinguished from typical Buteo (type vulgaris) by having only three 

 instead of four outei' primaries emiu-ginate ou their inner webs. Tachytriorchis and Poeei- 

 lopternis of Kaup are regarded as strictly .synonymous. The group is con.sidered peculiar to 

 America, four of the species being neotropical.

Compare same author, Pr. Phila. Acad., 1870, pp. 138-150. That former classification is 

 here very decidedly modified, upon broader consideration of the osteology of the familj-, with 

 special reference to characters aftbrded by the sternum and shoulder-girdle, many of the 

 features of which are illustrated on the plates.
