The Trigloirfea and Daetylopteroidea are segregated as representative 

 :>f a peculiar suborder Oraniomi. 



| It is expected that descriptions of the several superfamilies and in- 

 uluded families will be soon published. 



! Meanwhile, the reproductions of previous classifications and the 

 ■foments on them will convey additional information respecting the 

 limits of the several families and the characters which are and are not 

 applicable to them. The following table will also indicate the families 

 ;hat have been admitted from time to time among the mail-cheeked 

 ashes, with references to the pages of the works in which they were 

 published at the dates given at the head of each column. The syn- 

 onyms are extended on a line from the families of which they are 

 homonyms, but the limits of course are various and can not be conven- 

 ient! v indicated in the table.
