The third volume, as just indicated, has a special title, by which it is sometimes cited apart 

 from the rest, giving the impression that it is a different work. 



Schomburgk's Guiana becomes a very important work in South American ornithology, from 

 the number of new genera and species described by Cabanis in his elaborate presentation of 

 the subject. Various touchings of birds, by Schomburgk him»elf, occur through the other 

 volumes ; but Cabanis's article is the formal presentation of the ornithological afl'air. It is a 

 systematic synopsis, with synonymy, description, and much critical comment by Cabanis, 

 and miscellaneous matter by Schomburgk. According to Schomburgk's opening paragrajjhs : 



" Meiae Vcigelsammlung enthalt 424 Arten, also noch 6 Arten mehr, als in der Eiuleitung 



zur Fauna angegeben sind: Osdnes 83, darunter 12 neue; Clamatores 93, darunter llneue; 



Strisores 36, darunter 3 neue ; Scansores 77, darunter 2 neue ; Saptatores 43, darunter 1 neue ; 



, Gyratores 6; Rasores 15, darunter 1 neue; Grallatores 55, darunter 1 neue; Natatores 16. 



Im Ganzen 31 neue Arten. 



"Bei der systematischen Anordnung ist das neuaufgestellte System des Hei'm Caeaxis zu 

 Gmnde gelegt worden, was hoffentlich um so wUlkommener geheissen werden wird, als dies 

 jedenfalls unter alien bisher aufgestellten, das erste ist, welches den Anforderungen, die man 

 an ein natiirliches System zu stellen berechtigt ist, wirklich entspricht."
