This work is designed to furnish an analytical arrangement of the familv, and to charac 

 terize the several groups composing it. The TrocMlidce are primarily divided into two tribes, 

 the Trochiliens and the Ornisiniens, distinguished by characters drawn from the upper man'- 

 dible. The Trochiliens form two sections, each of them with several branches, and the branch 

 "Leucoliares" being further subdivided ; and the Ornismiens similarly contain two divisions, 

 each subdivided. The whole are arranged in 70 genera, including 29 subgenera, so great a, 

 reduction of the 123 genera recognized by Gould, in 1861, that " we should be inclined to look 

 upon Prof. Mulsaut's arrangement as an improvement, but for the belief that his reduction 

 in their number seems to be obtained in some cases by totally ignoring certain of his prede- 

 cessor's divisions, while, on the other hand, the use of so many groups larger than genera 

 deprives the present work of a very desirable simplicity ; but the fact, which is highly cred- 

 itable to him, remains to be mentioned that characters which are more or less definite are 

 assigned to each group of species, whether larger than a genus or less, named or-unnamed." 

 11 new genera and 13 new subgenera are proposed ; others are used in a sense very different 

 from that attributed to them by Gould. There is great liberty taken with the spelling. 370 

 spp. are enumer.ated, among them 4 new ones without description— a most reprehensible prac- 

 tice. The work is announced as merely the precursor of a larger one on the same subject.
