This work, which was discontinued before the completion of the lat part, con- 

 slats of critical notices, syoonymatic, descriptive, geographical, of the North 

 and !MaddIe (and acme South) Amencan species, contained in the Smithsonian 

 Mosenm (and some others), of the families Turdidce, OivSidcB, Saxicolidcet 

 Syhmdce, OhamaeidcB, Pcmdce (incl. Sitta), CerthiidcB, TroglodyUdce, Motacillidce, 

 Sylvicolidce, Sirundinidce (1864-65), Vireonidce, AmpeUd/s, and La7iiidce (1866, the 

 last three not being included in the table of contents, p. iv). It may be regarded 

 as complementary to the same anther's well known work of 1856 (with J. Caasin 

 and G. N. Lawrence), and as having been suspended in anticipation of his later 

 work (1874, with T. M. Brewer and E. Kidgway), which latter o,mpUfiea its plan 

 and scope. Many new apecies or varieties and aome new genera are deacribed, 

 as follows :— IVrdus audtiboni, p. 16 ; T. confinis, p. 99 ; Platyciehla (n. g.) brevipes 

 pp. 32, 436 ; Mimodchla sckuitacea, p. 37 ; FolioptUa nigriceps, p. 69 ; Auri-

 p. 261 ; Progne elegans, p. 275 ; P. cryptoleuca, p. 277 ; P. furcata, p. 278 ; P. leuco-

 p. 326 (gwndlachi, etc.); Vireogylvia propvnqua, p. 348; Vireo carmioli, p. 356; 

 Yireo latiTneri, p. 364 ; Vireolaniits cximius, p. 398 ; Myiadestes solitarius, p. 421. 

 Most of the new generic names are proposed as merely subgenera; mnny of the 

 new apecies are not, in point of fact, new, but are new names required through 

 rectifications of synonymy, or are proposed as varietal designations. The 

 analysis of linked forms ia carried to an extreme. The last fascicle (1866) is illus- 

 trated with numerona woodcut outlines of head, feet, wings, and tail ; theae 

 fignrea are not numbered seriaHm, but bear the Smithsonian numbers of the 

 specimens whence they are taken. C/. Am. Journ. Bd , xxxviii, 303, 431 ; xxxix,
