families of " Scansores^^^ according to the arrangement 

 adopted in this work^ and of the two families of the suborder 

 "Coccyges/' The Picidse, which are regarded as the first 

 family of Scansores, were treated of by JNIr. Hargitt in the 

 eighteenth volume. The present volume commences with 

 the Indicatoridte and Capitonidse, which have been catalogued 

 by Capt. Shelley. Of the former family 12 species are 

 recognized^ represented in the collection by 86 specimens ; of 

 the latter 112 species, represented by 2183 specimens. Next 

 follow the Rhamphastidae (59 species, 673 specimens), Gal- 

 bulidse (21 species, 243 specimens), and Bucconidce (43 

 species and 419 specimens), catalogued by the Editor of this 

 Journal. The volume concludes with the Coccyges, cata- 

 logued by Capt. Shelley. Of this suborder the Cuculidae 

 contain 176 species, represented in the British Museum by 

 5423 specimens, and the Musophagidae 25 species, repre- 

 sented by 204 specimens. 



Out of the 448 species recorded in the present volume, 

 only 32 are not represented in the National Collection.

 new species are introduced by Capt. Shelley : — Xantholcema 

 intermedia, Capita granadensis, C. salvini, Coccyzus dominicce,
