xi, 1859, pp. 104-108.) The anatomical cliaracters in mention are figured in the woodcuts, pp. 

 124-126. Podargus and allied forms, such as Nyctibius, may require to be separated as a dis- 

 tinct family. The Gaprimulgidce are divided upon the foregoing considerations into 3 sub- 

 families : 1, Podargince (Podargus, Batracliostomus, JSgotlieles, Nyctibius); 2, Steatornithince 

 (siagle genus) ; 3, Caprimulgince, (a) Glabrirostres (Podager, LurocaUs. Chordiles, Lyncornis, 

 Eurystopodus), and (&) Setirostres (Caprimulgus, Scotornis, Macrodipteryx, Antrostomus, 

 Stenopsis, Hydropsalis, JEoleothreptus, Nyctidromus, Siphonorhis). The American forms are 

 treated in a synonymatic and diagnostic list of 42 spp., with critical and biographical remarks, 

 and a table of geographical distribution.— ,Sfenoj9su- ruficervix, sp. n., p. 140, pi. xiv; Antros-

The paper is an interesting one, with much on the literature of the subject, and very full 

 treatment of 28 spp., "According to the colour of the Eggs the birds may be arranged iiifour 

 groups— those laying (1) glossy eggs with a white ground, blotched with brownish- or bliiish- 

 gray, (2) very glossy eggs with a greenish-white ground, spotted and streaked with greenish- 

 brown and gray, (3) duU and delicate eggs with a pale reddish cream-coloured or lively flesh- 

 coloured ground marked with yellowish-red and violet-grey, and (4) unspotted eggs rnore or 

 less white. The first of these is the prevailing type, especially in the northern hemisphere 

 and the temperate districts of the Old 'World; the second is the northern type of the New- 

 World; the third the southern type, especially in the K^ew World, and the fourth the Poly- 

 nesian type, which is special for the Podargince and Steatornithince. The accoiuits of the 

 different species are given in much detail and with great apparent accuracy." (Zool. Bee. 

 1869, p. 57.)
