Relating almost entirely to the pterylosis (flgured) and the anatomy of the soft parts, espe- 

 cially the digestive organs, trachea, carotid arteries and certain muscles, the skull being also 

 described and iigured so far as to make it comparable with those in Huxley's paper on the 

 classification of birds (P. Z. S., 1867). The article is an important one. The pterylosis more 

 closely resembles that of the Strigidce than that of the Gaprimulgidoe, and the genus should 

 be made the type of a distinct family.
