Osteology of the Steganopodes. By R. W. Shufeldt, M.D. (Ex- 

 tracted from the Memoirs of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg, Pa., 

 Vol. I. Plates XXI-XXX. Pages 109-223.) 



After a careful treatment of the genera and species comprising 

 this group. Dr. Shufeldt concludes that the six families should be 

 grouped under three superfamilies as follows: To the Pelecanoidea 

 should belong the families Pelecanidse, Phalacrocoracidse, An- 

 hingidsB and Sulidse. The superfamily Pbcethontoidea comprises 

 only the family Phaethontidse and the superfamily Fregatoidea 

 family Fregatidse thus strongly emphasizing the structural differ- 

 ences between these two small groups and the other four families. 

 It is a piece of work which commands the respect and attention of 

 all. L- J- 



Proceedings of the Nebraska Ornithologists' Union at its Third 

 Annual Meeting, Lincoln, Neb., February 1, 1902. 



This is a notable addition to Nebraska Ornithology. About thirty 

 pages are devoted to a profusely illustrated paper upon the Progen- 

 itors of Birds, by the President, Edwin H. Barbour. Shorter papers 

 follow treating of various subjects of a general nature, and these 

 are followed by several papers with illustrations treating the 

 reader to a glimpse of the bird life of Nebraska at all seasons, by 

 various members. The paper deserves a much more careful review 

 than it is possible to give it here. It affords a clear illustration of 

 the life, vigor and talent possessed by this body of working orni- 

 thologists. Every state should have such an organization. L. J.
