Describes the skull and sternum of Momotus Icssoni, and in detail the 
skeleton of Paryphthengus ritficapillus and Eumomota super ciliaris. A com- 
parison is then made of the osteology of the Momotidee with that of the 
Todidcc., Coraciidoi^ Meropidec, Alcedinidccy and other families ; and after a 
consideration of various facts as to habits, structure, and geographical distri- 
bution, and of opinions as to their supposed affinities, arrives at the conclu- 
sion that the four families just named best accord with the Momotidee, and 
of them the Todides are most akin. If it is necessary to group them more 
nearly, Mr. Blyth’s term ^‘Serratirostres” (Mag. Nat. Hist. ‘New Ser. ii. p. 422) 
may be used. Only four genera of Momotidee {Momotus, Barypihthengus, 
Mylomanes, and Eumomotus) seem well established./
