Goodchild, J. G. Observations on the Disposition of the Cubital 
Coverts in Birds. P. Z. S. 1886, pp. 184-203, 46 cuts. 
An exhaustive treatise on the above subject, with respect to the dif- 
ferent families. The author considers that up to a certain point there is 
a considerable parallelism between the style of imbrication of the coverts 
and the structure of the bird in other ways ; but he is not prepared at 
present to press it as a means of or aid to classification, though he con- 
siders draughtsmen should pay much more attention to it than they do.
