BIBLIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX. 1§31 617 



1831. SwAiNsoN, W., a«d Richardson, J. — Continued. 



laneous biographical items, and considerable synonymy, together with the for- 

 eign disquisitions above commented upon, which are discontinued, however, at 

 page 342. The nomenclature, as well as the classification, appears to bo Mr. 

 Swainson's for the land birds; for the rest, Temminck's Manual is followed. 

 The minute descriptions suflice for the identification of nearly every species of 

 the work, while Swainson's plates have long been famous for their faithfulness 

 both in drawing and coloring , copies vary, however, in the latter respect. 



The following appear to be new names (some of estralimital species), de- 

 scribed for the most part by Mr. Swainson, some being, however, by Dr. Eich- 

 ardson, and two or three by the authors conjointlj: — Accipltcr mexicanus, p. 45; 

 Buteo {Circus) cyaneust xixtA Atnericanus, p. 55; Lanius exeubitorides, p. 115;

The work closes with two appendices by Mr. Swainson, in which a number 

 of new genera and other groups are characterized. Appendix Ko. 1, "Char.ac- 

 ters of genera and sub-genera hitherto undefined," pp. 481-497. New generic 

 names, many of which were, however, used in earlier pages of the work, are 

 ostensibly as follows (but all of them are not actually new here) -.—Telophorv^,

 phorus, Ohordeiles, Centrocercus, p. 496 ; Lyrurus, Dendronessa, p. 497. Appendix 

 No. II, pp. 498-501, discusses aflinities,and presents Scolopax leucunu; sp. u., p. 501.
