most interesting being Syrrhapi^s paradoxus.

We only know this work by a specimen plate. Its object is 
to furnish natural attitudes for bird-stuffers.

This magnificent work is now completed, the remaining por- 
tion of the treatise on the Gallinaces (Zool. Bee. vi. p. 29) 
being followed by accounts of Colombides,^^ Passereaux 
(in a very wide sense, including Picarics as well as normal 
Passeres), the Diurnal and Nocturnal Birds-of-prey and the 
Psittacides.^^ To these succeeds a Second Part, giving a 
general survey of the geological distribution of Birds’ remains 
in different formations. The execution of the whole is beyond 
praise. Such of the named fossil species as can be positively 
referred to existing families will be found noticed in the special 
part of this Record ; but there are several of *the author’s Pas- 
sereaux,” the relations of which cannot be determined ; and to 
prevent mistakes these are here mentioned. [[Each forms the type 
of anew genus; and they are ; — Cryptorms antiquuSj pi. 175 ; 
Laurillardia longirostris , pi. 161. fig. 1 ; Palcegithalus cuvierij 
pi. 161. figs. 2, 3; Homalopus picoides, pi. 178. figs. 15-31; 
Necrornis palustris^ pi. 178. figs. 6-14; Limnatornis paludicola, 
pi. 176. figs. 14-18, pi. 177. figs. 14-17.'^ Many other ornitho- 
lites arc also figured, which, from their fragmentary state, at 
present defy determinationr*) These must necessarily remain 
unnoticed here. The existence in France of fossils which can 
be referred to such forms as Serpe7itarius, Psittacus, Trogon and 
Collocaliaj to say nothing of S^rix nyctea, requires remark.
