Review of EUiot, P. Z. 8., 1877, p. 477, seqq., and Reichenow, J. f. O., 1877, pp. 113. seqq. 

 The reviewers criticize the classification and nomenclature of both authors very freely. As 

 regards the much be-named Glossy Ibis, they show that there is no such genus as Falcinellus 

 Bechst., so often employed; and that P%adis Kaup, 1829, seems available for I5is /aicinei- 

 lus, other synonyms of which arc Trinr/a! auttimnalis of Tl&tiSQlq., Seolopnx ! »'M/a of Scopnli,
