The conclusion of a well planned and admirably executed work. For 
plates (including some extra) of species figured, see Phasianidce, Turdidoi, 
■Pycnonotidce, Timeliidoi, Dicceidce, Hirundinidce, Ploceidce, Sturnidce, Co- 
lumhce. The location of Turnix amongst the Tinamidce (p. 761), a family 
hitherto supposed to be confined to Neotropical America, is an idea at 
present in advance of general acceptance. The removal 'of Strepsilas 
from the Charadriidce to the Scolopacidce will be less opposed to current 
views, but modern systematists will be surprised at finding Tantalus with 
the Spoonbills and Ibises, and also at some remarks on the position of 
Phcenicopterus. A useful coloured physical map and some illustrations 
of eggs are also given.
