These essays began the investigation of osteological characters and, as was the custom 
at that time, an “ Open Sesame ” was thoroughly believed in. At present, more recent 
study has compelled the conclusion that the so-called “ deeper-seated ” features are 
not “ deeper-seated ” at all, but are scarcely of more real value than the “ superficial ” 
characters. 
Ibis. —The Official Publication of the British Ornithologists’ Union, published quarterly, 
Jan., April, July, October of each year, but appearance, which should be the first of 
the month, has varied until sometimes a couple of months late. Fortunately few items 
in this periodical concern us as to dates. Commonly quoted only with the year, the 
volumes are regularly numbered in series, six volumes to a series. The early years,

have each contributed a few items.
