Note. — To this subfamily belongs Mr. Strickland's genus Pezophaps, which is founded on the Solitaire, or Didus 
solitarius of Gmelin ; but, as no recent portion of this bird is now known to exist, I have not inserted it in the general 
body of the work. Those readers who may require an account of this new genus had best refer to the elaborate work 
of Messrs. Strickland and Melville on the " Dodo and its Kindred," wherein they will find its history, as far as can be 
gathered from the old works, and also a lengthened description and figures of those bones that are at present known in 
collections. 
December, 1848.
