(1) It is rather doubtful whether Crypticus be entitled to generic 
distinction. Is it not rather a subgenus of Priorities? 
(2) The numerous forms and species of the Caprimulgidfe that have 
been discovered within the last few years, render a natural arrange- 
ment impossible, without a strict analysis and examination of the 
whole. In the first part of Mr. Gould’s monograph of this family 
(the only one yet published), there are no less than five new genera or 
subgenera characterized, several of them, it is more than probable, will 
be found to be merely aberrant species of genera or subgenera, previ- 
ously recognized, but without examination it is difficult, indeed im- 
possible, to assign them their proper station. The following arrange- 
ment, therefore, is only to be considered as an imperfect attempt.
