Review of Elliot, P. Z. S., 1877, p. 477, seqq., and Reichenow, J. f. O., 1877. pp. 113. seqq. 

 The reviewers criticize the classification and nomenclature of both authors very freely. As 

 regards the much be-named Glossy Ibis, they show that there is uo such genus as Falciiiellu* 

 Bechst., so often employed; and that Plegadis Kaup, 1829, seems available for Ibis falcineU 

 lus. other syuonsnns of which are Trimja .' auttimnalis of Ilassebi.. Scolopnx ! rufa of Scopoli, 

 and Numenius! igneus of Gm., 1771 and 1778.
