Garrod, a. H. Notes on the Anatomy of the Colies (^Colins). Tom. 
cit. pp. 416-419. 
After alluding to previous work on the genus Colius, especially to Dr. 
Murie’s article on the subject (Ibis, 1872, p. 262), Prof. Garrod describes 
the development of the maxillo -palatine processes which show a des- 
mognathous form of skull. The vomer, he found unossified. An exa- 
mination of the muscles shows that Colius belongs to the author’s group 
Anomalogonatoi, and, from the absence of coeca and the presence of a 
tufted oil gland, to the section Piciformes. The relationships of Colius 
to MusopTiaga and the Parrots is also referred to. 
. On some Anatomical Characters which bear upon the major 
divisions of Passerine Birds. Part i. Tom. cit. pp. 506. 
The chief points investigated in this paper are:— The method of 
insertion of the tensor patagii hrevis in Passeres and many other 
birds ; the muscles of the syrinx ; the scutellation of the tarsi ; the 
development of the sciatic and femoral arteries, and other minor 
features. Several new terms are introduced into the classification of the 
Passeres, such as Acromyodi, in which the muscles of the syrinx are 
attached to the extremities of the semi-bronchial rings ; Mesomyodi, in 
which the muscles of the syrinx join the semi-rings in. their middles ; 
Homcbomeri, in which the sciatic is the artery of the thigh ; and Hetero- 
MERi, in which the femoral is the artery of the thigh. The Homoeomeii 
are again divided into Tracheophonse of Muller, and a group containing 
the Tyrannidm^ Rupicola, and Pitta, which is here termed Haploophonoe. 
A classification of the major groups of Passeres is finally thus sketched.

Five plates (xlviii.-lii.) accompany this paper, in which are shown the 
muscles of the wing in various groups of birds ; the syrinx of Menura, 
Atrichia, and Pitta-, the sternum of Atrichia, showing the rudiments 
of the furcula ; and the sternum and back view of the skull of Pitta.
