Sketch of the subject ; characters aud habitat of 62 spp. Larinoe, under 12 genn., and of 5 

 spp. Lestridince under 3 genn. The large folded plates, uncolored, illustrate the heads of 24 

 spp. Larince of natural size. The article has been spoken of with some reserve, and is gen- 

 erally considered to have been superscMled by the author's siibseijuent paper on the same sub- 

 ject, op. cit, 1855, p. 273, seq. (See what is said at 1854, Boxap.vkte, C. L.)

La famille entidro des Larides (c'est k dire les subfam. Lestridince et Larince) ayant 6t6 

 pass6e en revue synoptique, Tautour s'occupe d'une critique de M. Bruch {J. f. O., 1853, pp. 

 96-108). Lestridince, 4 genn., 4. spp. (avec (5) Gimoliornis diomedeiisOvren, sp. foss.) : Larince, 

 18 genu., 73 spp. A cause des rapports qui scmblent d'avoir exist^s entre I'auteur et M. 

 Bruch, il devient difficile d'indiqiier avec pr6cision les noms (pii sent v6ritablement nouve- 

 aux ; surtout lorsqu'on rcconuait le fait que ces auteurs tous deux out prestiue toujours 

 manqu<i de donner lea rensi'ignements n6cessaircs. Les genres qui suivant semblent 6tre 

 nouvellement proposes: Procellarus t^ive Epitelarits, p. 213: Greagrus, Atricilla, p. 214; Mela- 

 gatna, p. 217 ; Cirrocephalus, p. 218. — Atricilla catesbaei, minor, macroptera, p. 212 ; Procellarus 

 neglectus, p. 213; Larus verreauxi, p. 215; Gavia kamlschatchensis, p. 215; G. bmchii, p. 216;

It may be remarked, in fine, of this article, that it is worse thiin woithless, being pernici- 

 ous. It is ostensibly a review of Brueh's paper of 1853 ; this being itself a very incompetent 

 performance, coufusiim is here worse confounded by Bonaparte's criticisms and "rectifica- 

 tions.'' It seems to have had, among other undesirable results, the effect of setting Bruch 

 at the business anew, as appears by the latter's paper of 18.'55. The two authors together 

 made as complete a muddle as ran V)e found in ornithology : woe to the confiding student who 

 trusts either of them — crede experio! Bruch and Bonaparte are Scylla and Cliarylxlis of Gull 

 literature.
