In addition to these plates of species, there is one of generic details, 27 figures, and a map 

 of family relationships. 



The introduction includes elaborate essays on the classification of the family, with diag- 

 noses of all the genera and species recognized, and on the geographical distribution, as well 

 as an important r6sum6 of the literature of the subject. The family is divided into two sub- 

 families, Alcedinince, with 5 genera and 41 spp., and Dacelonince, with 14 genera and 84 app. 



The monograph is a model one ; it at once became and remains the leading authority on the 

 subject, and forms the corner-stone of the author's high reputation.
