* The Artcnnidce have a Slirike-like ossification of the olfactory capsule, but they 

 have a curious modification of the palate, as has been discovered by Professor Stewart. 

 Tlie vomer is ajgithognathous, but the palate is desmoguathous. 



t For Pratincola and Cryptohpha, &c., cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. iv. pp. 178 and 303, and 

 for Copsychus and allied Turdiue forms, cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. pp. 1-92. The 

 Accentors are probably not deserving of separate family rank, and are now merged in 

 the Turdidte. For Accentor, cf. Sharpe, Cat. B. vii. pp. 648-670 ; and for Myiudectes, 

 see Sharpe, Cat. B. vi. p. 368. 



X The recent researches of Mr. Lucas into the osteology of the Thrushes and Wrens 

 (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xi. pp. 173-180) show tbat there is good foundation for keeping 

 the Mimidce as a distinct family. 



§ I am not prepared at the present moment to reconsider the Timeliidse, but I would 

 refer students to an excellent attempt to subdivide the family by Mr. Gates in the 

 ' Fauna of British India, Birds,' i. p. 71.
