This work, which was discontinued before the completion of the Ist part, con- 

 sists of critical notices, synonymatic, descriptive, geographical, of the North 

 and Middle (and some South) American species, contained in the Smithsonian 

 Museum (and some others), of the families Turdidce, Cinclidce, SaxicolidcB, 

 Syloiidce, Chamaoidce, Paridce (incl. Sitta], Gerthiidce, Troglodytidce, MotacillidcB, 

 SylvicoHdce, Hirundiiiidce (18(34-65), Vireonidce, A-inpelidce, and Laniidce (1866, the 

 last three not being included iu the table of contents, p. iv). It may be regarded 

 as complementary to the same author's well known work of 1856 (with J. Cassin 

 and G. N. Lawrence), and as having been suspended iu anticipation of his later 

 work (1874, with T. M. Brewer and 11. Ridgway), which latter amplifies its plan 

 and scope. Many new species or varieties and some new genera are described, 

 as follows: — Tardus auduboni, p. 16 ; T. confinis, p. 29 ; Platycichla (n. g.) brevipes 

 pp. 32, 436 ; Mimocichla schistacea, p. 37 ; Polioptila niyriceps, p. 69 ; Auri- 

 parus, n. g., p. 85 (type Aegithalus fiaviceps Sund.) ; Thryophilus rufalbus var.

 corys et Pedioeorys, nn. gg., p. 151 (Anthus riifus and A . bogotensis respectively) ; 

 Parula inornata, p. 171 (brasiliana S. & S., nee Licht.) ; Perinsoylossa, n. g. (type 

 Mot. tigrina Gm.), p. 180; Dendroiea gundlachi, p. 197 (cestiva auct., ex Cuba) ; D. 

 rufigula, p. 204; D. graeice (Coues MSS.), p. 210; D. adelaidce, p. 212; Geothlypis 

 melanops, p. 222 ; G. poUoctphala, p. 225 ; Granatcllus francescce, p. 232 ; Idiotes, n. g., 

 p. 237 (type Setophaga rxtfifrons Sw.) ; Myiobonts, n. g., p. 237 (type Set. verlicali-s 

 Sw.) ; Basileuterus tnelanogenys, p. 248 ; Setophaga aurantiuca and S. torguata, 

 p. 261; Prague elegans, p. 275; P. cryptoleuea. p. 277; P.furcata, p. 278; P. leueo- 

 gaster; Phceoprogne, n. g. (Uirundo fusea V.), p. 283; CalLehelidon, Bryant 

 MSS., n. g. (C. cyaneoviridis), p. 303; Notiochelidon, n. g. (type Atticora pilea.la 

 Gould), p. 306 ; Pygochelidon, u. g. (type Rirundo cyanoleuca V.), \i. 308 ; Aftieora 

 cyanoleuca var. montana, p. 310; Slclgidopteryxf ulvigida, d.^IS; Vireonella, v. ^., 

 p. 326 (gundlachi, etc.); Vireosylvia propinqua, p. 348; Yireo carmioli, p. 356; 

 Vireo latimeri, p. 364; Vireolanius cximius, p. 398; Myiadeates solitarius, p. 421. 

 Most of the now generic names are proposed as merely subgenera; many of the 

 new species are not, in point of fact, new, but are new names required through 

 rectifications of synonymy, or are proposed as v.irietal designations. The 

 analysis of linked forms is carried to an extreme. The last fascicle (1866) is illus- 

 trated with numerous woodcut outlines of head, feet, wings, and tail ; these 

 figures are not numbered seriatim, but bear the Smithsonian numbers of the 

 specimens whence they are taken. C/. Am. Journ. Sci , sxxviii, 303, 431 ; xxxix,
