Sketch of the subject ; characters and habitat of 62 spp. Larince, under 12 genn., and of 5 

 spp. Lestridince under 3 genn. The large folded plates, uncolored, illustrate the heads of 24 

 spp. Larince of natural size. The article has been spoken of with some reserve, and is gen- 

 erally considered to have been superseded by the author's subsequent paper on the same sub- 

 ject, op. cit, 1855, p. 273, seq. (See what is said at 1854, Bonaparte, C. L.)

La famUle enti^re des Larides (c'est k dire les subfam. Lestridince et Larince) ayant 6t6 

 pass6e en revue synoptique, I'auteur s'occupe d'une critique de M. Bruch (J". /. O., 1853, pp. 

 96-108). Lestridince, 4 genn., 4. spp. (avec (5) Cimoliornis diomedeits Ov^en, sp. fcss.) ; Larince, 

 18 genn., 73 spp. A- cause des rapports qui semblent d'avoir exist68 entre I'auteur et M. 

 Bruch, il devient difficile d'indiquer avec precision les noma qui sont v6ritablement nouve- 

 aux; surtout lorsqu'on reconnait le fait que ces auteurs tovis deux ont presque toujours 

 manqu6 de donner les renseignements n6cessaires. Les genres qui suivant semblent etre 

 nouvelleraent proposes: Procellarus sive Lpitelarus, p. 213; Greagrus, Atricilla, -p. 21i ; Mela- 

 gavia, p. 217 ; Cirrocephalus, p. 218. — Atricilla catesbaei, minor, macroptera, p. 212 ; Procellarus 

 neglectus, p. 213; Larus verreauxi, p. 215; Oavia katntschatchensis, p. 215; G. bruchii, p. 216; 

 Gelastes corallinus, p. 216 ; Rissa kotzebui, p. 217, spp. nn. 



It may be remarked, in fine, of this article, that it is worse than woi'thless, being pernici- 

 ous. It is ostensibly a review of Bruch's paper of 1853 ; this being itself a very incompetent 

 performance, confusion is here worse confounded by Bonaparte's criticisms and "rectifira- 

 tions." It seems to have had, among other undesirable results, the effect of setting Bruch 

 at* the business anew, as appears by the latter's paper of 1855. The two authors together 

 made as complete a muddle as can be found in ornithology ; woe to the confiding student who 

 trusts either of them — crede experto! Bruch and Bonaparte are Scylla and Chavybdis of G-ull 

 literature.
