Before proceeding further, it may be observed that the 

 work is more or less based upon Cuvier, and that Jarocki did 

 not know of the very rare little Analyse published by Vieillot 

 on April 20th, 1816. As one consequence, Jarocki's names 

 are often anticipated by those of Vieillot, as both described 

 the same generic forms. Though Vieillot's work has been 

 justly highly esteemed, it must be conceded that Jarocki's 

 book is a finer effort in every way. Temminck accused 

 Vieillot of plagiarism upon his work and non-acceptance, 

 but re nomination, of Illiger's groups. In the present case 

 Jarocki undoubtedly was quite independent of Vieillot, and 

 closely followed Cuvier, but was no simple translator, as he 

 mentions the specimens he has examined in the Museum, so 

 that we conclude he drew up his descriptions from specimens. 

 In some cases he cites Cuvier's subdivisions as such, and in 

 every case gives full credit to other workers.
