Most of these geuera are useless aud burdeusome synonyms, resulting from the authors' 

 purism in rejecting prior names not "classical" inform — a practice totally indefensible, nulesa 

 in exceptioual cases. 



The original scope of the Mus. Hein., as begun by Cabanis alone in 1850, was much enlarged 

 in later parts by Cabanis & Heine. Thus, Theil IV. (Scansores), of which this Heft 2 con- 

 sists of the Picidce, amounts to a monography of the several families treated. Elaborate 

 Latin descriptions of all the species in the collection are given, with a copious synonymy of 

 each ; and many other species are also as fully treated in German, in the foot-notes, which 

 latter form a ruuuiug commentary, especially full iu synonymy and in criticism of the lite- 

 rary infelicities of previous writers who misspelled or misformed their generic names. The 

 authors are careful to express their surprise at these ' ' barbarisms " with the note of exclama- 

 tion, and, what is more to the point, to give the etymology of the many new names they are 

 pleased to invent for themselves. Cf. Ibis, 1865, p. 101.
