" "Le rhynehos des Grecs est d'ailleurs un terme impropre pour designer le bee des 

 oiseaux, auquel le mot ranu>li<>.-< est sp£cialement consacr6; et psalidoramphos, psali- 

 doramphe, exprimeroil plus exactemeni bee en rasoir. Si l'inegalit^tres-remarquable 

 des manflibules paroissoit devoir 6tre pr£f6r6e a leur jeu, pour fournir le type du 

 iiniii de l'oiseau, on pourroit aussi L'appeler anisoramphe, et ce terme seroit moins 

 dur a l'oreille."
