RUDIMENTAL NATURALISTS. 



abused title of Monograph. Such works, particularly the mono- 

 graphs, often deal in critical disquisitions about names, divisions, 

 and the particular place a species, genus, or group ought to occupy 

 in the system adopted ; exhibiting, in many instances, passages 

 of worthless trifling, undeserving of perusal. Examples of what 

 I mean may be found in the Bulletin des Sciences Natu- 

 relles, for January, 1829, page 126, and throughout the Zoo- 

 logical Journal.
