An important review of the subject. TMs is the first of numerous articles upon Cuban 

 birds, wholly or in part by Dr. Gundlach ; it is chiefly to be regretted that in the beginning 

 insulBcient attention to precision of identification resulted in too m:;ny "additions and cor- 

 rections". The present series constitutes a systematic synopsis of Cuban birds, the techni- 

 calities by Cabanis, the field-notes by Gundlach. Sypomorx^hnus gundlachii, p. Ixxx ; Phyl- 

 lomanes barbatulus, p. 467 ; Mimus gundlachii, p. 470 ; Teretistris, p. 475 ; Melittarchus, p. 478 ;

 Gundl., p. 97; Geotrygon caniceps Gwaill., p. 110; Perissura, p. Ill; Ocniscus, p. 343; Tryn- 

 gites, p. 418 ; Notherhodius holostictus, p. 426 ; Limnopar dolus, p. 428 ; Credscus, p. 428, are 

 new genu, or spp., all but 2 by Cabanis ; 251 spp. in all are treated. See especially J.f O., ix,
