A very learned and careful disquisition upon the form, posi- 

 tion, and development of the various bones which enter into the 

 formation of the skull in the class of birds. Dr. Magnus seems

 of some of these bones in classification is clearly pointed out, 

 more practical applications of the characters thus afforded are 

 not given.
