Count Salvadori is iin(loul)tc(lly correct in this matter, and 

 if the present writer ever pubHshes another classification of 

 Birds his subfamily Chciioticttincc will most assuredly be 

 recog:nized. The opportunity has never been mine to ex- 

 amine more than the -kull in C lilo'cphaga, and had the fact 

 been known to me that the males in that species possessed 

 a bony laljyrinth at the pulmonic extremity of the trachea, a 

 subfamily would surely have been created to include them. 

 It is evidentl}- a clear case of lapsus mcuwricr on my part that 

 this had already been done in the Catalogue of Birds by Count 

 Salvadori in his ^^chcme of classification of Birds.
