* This part of Cuvier's arrangement appears to be any thing but natural. The 

 Bustards ought certainly to be among the gallinaceous birds, instead of being separated 

 from them by the Pigeons ; or, rather, the Pigeons ought not to have been placed between 

 the gallinaceous birds and the Bustards.
