GALLINiE. 
Gray, G. R. List of the Specimens of Birds in the Collection 
of the British Museum. Part V. Gallince, London : 1867. 
12mo, pp. 120. 
How necessary this publication was may be judged from the 
fact that the same author's ^List' of 1844 shows that the 
Museum then contained 172 species, while the present includes 
342, or almost exactly double ! The various lists published by 
Mr. Gray are so well known that, though we have not before 
had occasion to notice one of them in the ' Record,' it would be 
useless to occupy space by dwelling on their many meritorious 
features. The present work has several advantages over its pre- 
decessors. Species introduced for the first time to notice are 
described to the number of 24 ; and the names of those of which 
the Museum does not contain specimens are also added, though 
in these cases references to the places where they may be found 
described are omitted — a fact much to be regretted. The new 
species belong to Cracidee (7), PhasianidcB (3), Tetraonida (2), 
and Tinamidce (12). The genera Thinocorus, AttagiSj and 
Chionis are classed by Mr. Gray among the Gallhm ; but there 
is nothing new respecting them. [Cf. Ibis, 1868, p. 99.] 
Cracidas. 
Cliamcepetes unicolor is a new species from Veragua allied to C. goudoiiy but 
much sfliaMer, the body of one colour and that deeper in hue. The primaries 
in this genus are greatly excised, and on this structure depends the curious 
noise made by the birds. 0. Salvin, P. Z. S. 1867, pp. 169, ICO.
