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

I mean may be found in the Bulletin des Sciences Natu- 
relles, for January, 1829, page 126, and throughout the Zoo- 
logical Journal.
