622 Recently published Ornithological Works. 



Mr. Ridgway's revised list shows us that 105 species are 

 now known to be inchided in the Galapagan avifauna. These 

 he refers to 46 genera, of which five {Nesomiinus, Certhidea, 

 Geospiza, Camarhynchus, and Nesopelia) are peculiar to the 

 group. The first four of these, besides some others, are 

 represented in many of the islands by peculiar species. 

 Mr. Ridgway treats of all the Galapagan species one after 

 another in a most elaborate manner, stating their specific 

 characters, synonyms, and distribution, and adding a list of 

 the specimens contained in the rich ^collection of the National 

 Museum at Washington. Moreover, the ranges of the 

 species are clearly shown in a series of outline maps, and a 

 bibliography is added of previous authorities on the subject. 

 A more carefully prepared and more complete memoir on 

 one of the most interesting subjects in ornithology it has 

 seldom been our pleasant task to notice.
