The species included in.this section number 474, of which 262 are paleospecies and 212 neospecies. Seven paleospecie? are added to those included in groups covered in Part 1. The two parts now published·thus cover 856 species, of which 542 ar6 extinct and 314 living, being about two-thirds of the known fossil birds. Modifications from the general plan adopted in the first instailment are few. Common names for the higher taxa of living birds are provided in the Table of C6ntents. The synonymies of order-group and family=group names have betn expanded to inalude all principal synonyms based on generic names, insofar as found. Subfamily headings have been included in the lists of neospecies. Several generally recognized families are reduced to the subfamily leval, namely: Paranyrocinae (to Anatidae), Teratornithinae (to Vulturidaa), Gallinuloidi- nae (to Cracidae), and Tetraonitiae and Meleagrinae (to Phasianidae). Two new subfamily terms' are pr6posed. Leptodontinae supplants Peminae, as Leptodon is the type genus of this section of the Accipitridae. The new sub- family Filholornithinae is erected in the Cracidae for Filholomis Milne-Edwards, formerly of Incertae S6dis. Genera described as new are Ludiortyx and Firortux in the Gallinuloidinae, and Schaubortyx and Proalector in the Phasianinae.

Florida State Mus., vol. 1„ no. 4, pp. 179-293) treated the orders Archaeoptery- giformes through Ardeiformes. The second installment now con- tinues with the waterfowl, the diurnal birds of prey, and the gallina- ceous birds. The fossil record of these three orders, the Anseriformes, Accipitriformes, and Calliformes, is quite extensive, more so than in any other group except the as yet untreated marsh birds.
