Comparative Notes on the Swifts and Humming-birds, 

 by R. W. Shufeldt. I am glad to see that Mr. Shufeldt is of 

 my opinion about the Humming-birds, and that he has 

 adopted my Order TrOCHILI for these birds, and that he is 

 also of my opinion about the Swifts, which have more 

 affinities with the Swallows . than with any other birds, 

 although he proposes to create the new Order of Cypseli for 

 them. I say Order, instead of Sub-Order, as he proposes, 

 because I do not recognise Sub anywhere. They are Orders 

 Families, Genera, or Species, or they are nothing at all.
