A full and laborious essay upon the various elementary bones 



that enter into the composition of the bird's cranium, illustrated 



by six cleverly drawn "plates. The author seems not to have had 



a very extensive collection to work upon, and does not go very 



deeply into variations bearing upon classification. It does not 



appear that he is acquainted with Prof. Huxley's classification of 



birds by the bones of the palate (P. Z. S. 1867, p. 415 et seqq.).
