BIBLIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX. 131 617 



1831. SWAINSON, W.,and RICHARDSON, J. Continued. 



laneons biographical items, and considerable synonymy, together with the fcr- 

 eiga disquisitions above commented upon, which are discontinued, however-, at 

 page 342. The nomenclature, as well as the classification, appears to bo Mr. 

 Swainson's for the land birds; for the rest, Temminck's Manual is followed. 

 The minute descriptions suffice for the identification of nearly every species of 

 the work, while Swainsou's plates have long been famous for their faithfulness 

 both in drawing and coloring , copies vary, however, in the latter respect 



The following appear to be new names (some of extralimital species), de- 

 scribed for the moat part by Mr. Swainson, some being, however, by Dr. Rich- 

 ardson, and two or three by the authors conjointly : Accipiter mexicanus, p. 45; 

 Buteo (Circus) cyaneusf var.f Americanus, p. 55; Lanius excubitorides, p. 115; 

 L. elegans, p. 122 ; Tyrannus borealis, p. 141 ; Tyrannula, pusilla, p. 144 ; T. richard- 

 aoni, p. 146 ; Oinclus Americanus, p. 173 [altered name from C. mexicanus of 1827] ;

The work closes with two appendices by Mr. Swainson, in which a number 

 of new genera and other groups are characterized. Appendix No. 1, "Charac- 

 ters of genera and sub-genera hitherto undefined," pp. 481-497. New generic 

 names, many of which were, however, used in earlier pages of the work, are 

 ostensibly as follows (but all of them are not actually new here) -.Telophorus, 

 Laniellus, p. 481 ; Platylophus, Teprodornis, Analcipus, p. 482; Erucivora, Oxynotus,

 eric forms ; no type named, C. cristatus mentioned first), Anthreptes, p. 495 ; Selas- 

 phorus, Ohordeiles, Centrocercus, p. 496 ; Lyrurus, Dendronessa, p. 497. Appendix 

 No. II, pp. 498-501, discusses aflinities.and presents Scolopax leucurus, sp. n., p. 501.
