THE AMERICAN NATURALIST [Vol. XLI 



tribution entitled "An Arrangement of the Families and the 

 Higher Groups of Birds (Vol. XXXVIII, Nos. 455-456 Nov-Dec. 

 1904, pp. 833-857), and, in so far as the taxonomy of the Tubi- 

 nares is concerned, it sustains what is set forth above; in other 

 words my opinion in the matter remains the same as it was six 

 years ago.
