< Proo. Acad. Nat. Sd. Phila., 1875, pp. 78-88. 



A very elaborate article, descriptive, synonymatic and critical, in which the distinction of 

 these two species is maintained. The synonymy is very copious. 



1875. EiDGWAY, E. On the Buteonine Subgenus Crasirex, Gould. < Proc. Acad. Nat. 

 Sci. Phila., 1875, pp. 89-119. 



Very complete treatment, with copious synonymy, exhaustive description, and much crit- 

 ical comment, of 6 spp. : Buteo (Craxirex) galapagoensis, poliosomus, erythronotus, alUcauda- 

 tus, swainsoni, and pennsylvanicus, which are aU the species the author allows to stand in this 

 particular group, distinguished from typical Buteo (type vulgaris) by having only three 

 instead of four outer primaries emarginate on their inner webs. Taohytriorchis and Poeci- 

 lopternis of Kaup are regarded as strictly synonymous. The group is considered peculiar to 

 America, four of tlie species being neotropical.

Compare same author, Pr. Phila. Acad., 1870, pp. 13S-150. That former classification is 

 here very decidedly modified, upon broader consideration of the osteology of the family, with 

 special reference to characters aflbrded by the sternum and shoulder-girdle, many of the 

 features of which are illustrated on the plates.
