does not specially treat, we should say that, while the antitypy of 
tibiale and ulnare and of fibulare and radiale appears unquestion- 
able, observations are wanted to show the relations of the remain- 
ing tarsal bones with those of the distal carpal series; for if 
Prof. Morse correctly identifies the latter as carpale iii and iv, these 
do not correspond with those of the tarsus determined as interme- 
dium and centrale. 
This remarkably able paper is illustrated with two colored plates 
containing forty-eight figures from the author’s accomplished pen- 
cil, representing exactly what he saw. We trust that Prof. Morse 
will continue his admirable embryological studies, and show us 
more new things. Ornithology has plentiful need of workers of 
his stamp. 
II. Although we only undertake to give a complete record of 
American papers relating to ornithology, we shall have frequent 
occasion to notice foreign publications of general interest or special 
importance. Prof. Reinhardt* makes an important announcement 
respecting ‘l’os crochu” (os uncinatum) observed by Magnus m 
Pheenicophzeus, and which, he states, is the same as the ossiculum 
_lacrymo-palatinum described by Brandt in Tachypetes and various 
Procellariide. He further states that this bone is highly charat 
teristic of the Musophagide, having found it in all the genera and 
nearly half the species of Turacous. He describes its peculiarities 
in detail. Among the Cuculide, besides Phenicopheus, hebat
