NOTES ON THE ABOVE REPRINT. 



Several errors, especially of authority for generic names, are 

 noticeable in this work. Thus, Huhus (p. 65), Empharis (p. 70), 

 Parulus, Pavianus, and Himantellus (p. 219) should be credited to 

 "R." instead of "L." In other cases, names previously used by 

 Brisson, Lacepede, Cuvier, and others, are here credited to "R." 

 These are enumerated in the list of Rafinesque's new genera given 

 below, since they are so designated by him. Examples of this class 

 are Passer "R.", Muscivora "R.", Tyxannus "R.", Caliclris "R.", 

 and Cinclus "R.", the last name being used for no less than three 

 genera. Ixosorus (p. 67) has no authority cited for it, but is ob- 

 viously new. There are a few other evident slips, not corrected 

 by the author, such as Loxia, page 68, numbered "28." On the 

 same page, " Psoridus R." is ostensibly a substitute name for 

 "Sylvia Lath.," but in this case the figure "5" has been clearly 

 omitted before the word Sylvia. This correction would give 

 Psoridus the rank of a nomen nudum. Another slip on page 68
