No. 6.] THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD 143 



Families and Genera in a perfectly legitimate manner, and 

 his generic names call for the following account. 



He gives diagnostic tables for the Orders, Families and Genera 

 which recall the style of Dumeril. It is possible that he based 

 these onDumeril's plan as, though he does not mention Dumeril 

 in this volume, we note Dumeril' s division of the Owls in the 

 text. We note there are fifty-one of these tables, and that 

 the genera admitted are exactly two hundred in number. 

 After these tables the genera are completely described, an 

 example named, and then details of the bird as to its history, 

 etc., given. The first genus for example reads thus : 



" Rodzay I. Ziewacz. Chseneirhynchus. 

 Oiseau-a-trompe, albo Ara-a-trompe. Tran. Gahnschnabel. 



Mem." 

 Description follows. Example : " Psittacus aterrimus GL." 



Then further matter referring to Le Vaillant, etc. For this 

 new genus a large and excellent figure of the head is given. 

 Ten new genera are claimed, and a few other names are intro- 

 duced ex Brisson, Cuvier, etc., with acknowledgment, but here 

 used systematically and legitimately for the first time. 



The new names are —
