S ummary . I have ventured, on the evidence chiefly of osteological and inyological characters, to associate many Families which have hitherto been separated, often widely. Furthermore I have endeavoured, in the course of this summary, to show that the ranks of these Families must be enlarged to receive forms which till now have been regarded a9 having no ailhities therewith. It will be remarked that I have included in this paper the Families Phytotomidæ, Pittidæ, arid Tyrannidæ. This I have done because there seems good reason to regard these three nearly related Families as close allies of the Diacroniyodean Passeres.
