An important review of the subject. TMs is the first of numerous articles upon Cuban 

 birds, wholly or in part by Dr. Gundlacb ; it is chiefly to be regretti-d that in the begiiming 

 insufficient attention to precision of identification resulted in too many "additions and cor. 

 rections". The present series constitutes a systematic synopsis of Cuban birdB, the techni- 

 calities by Cabnnis, the field-notes by G-undlach. Hypoitwrphnxis gundlachii, p. Ixxx ; Phyl-
