Introduction, p. 358; Preliminary remarks, p. 358; Synopsis of the species, p. 369; Table 

 of geographical distribution, p. 409. — Anatidm divided into seven subfamilies. Anser (3), 

 Bernicla (7 or 8), Ghenalopex (1), Gygnus (2), Dendrocygna (5), Sarcidiomis (1), Cairina, (1), 

 Anas (5), Seteronetta (1), Querquedula (10), {Q. andium, pi. 34), Dafila (3), Mareca (2), Spatula 

 (2), Aix (1), Metopiana (1), Fuligula (5), Glangula (2), CEdemi'a (1), Tachyeres (Owen, IV. Z. S., 

 ix, 1875, 254} (1), Erismatura (3), Merganetta (3), Mergus (2). These spp. are worked out in a 

 masterly manner, with copious synonymy, diagnosis, habitat, and criticism ; forming by far 

 the most satisfactory presentation of Neotropical Anatidce extant.
