The Humming Bird 



s 



sumatrana, and CALOPERDIX sumatrana, both from 

 Sumatra ; borneensis, from Sarawak, are all fully re- 

 described ; GENNAEUS davisoni, from Yunnan ; oatesi, from 

 Arrakan Hills ; Ortyx atriceps, from Putla, Mexico ; CRAX, 

 panamensis , from Central America, and grayi, from South 

 America, are described as new species, or have new names 

 assigned to them. 



I cannot see why the generic name of Rheinardius 

 ocellatus has been written Rheinhardtius, which is wrong, 

 the correct spelling of the gentleman to whom it has been 

 dedicated being Reinhard, not Reinhardt. 



I don't quite agree with Mr. Ogilvie Grant about the 

 position assigned to the sub-order Peristeropodes, and the 

 order Hemipodi. I consider this order as useless, because 

 the family of TuRNICIDAE is more naturally placed after the 

 genus RHYNCHORTYX, family PHASIANIDAE. I am of opinion 

 also that the family Cracidse is not placed at its proper 

 place. Otherwise this volume, as the preceding ones, will be 

 of much use to the Scientists, and the Trustees of the British 

 Museum can be justly proud that this most important publica- 

 cation will soon be concluded. In my opinion it is the most 

 valuable Ornithological work published for many years, and 

 it has given a new impetus for work, to all Ornithologists.
