E.--ANOMALOUS PASSERES.

  49. Menuridæ         Lyre-birds.
  50. Atrichidæ        Scrub-birds.

The preceding arrangement is a modification of that proposed by myself in
the _Ibis_ (1874, p. 406). The principal alterations are adding the
families Panuridæ and Sittidæ in series A, commencing series B with
Dicæidæ; bringing Vireonidæ next to the allied American family Mniotiltidæ;
and placing Motacillidæ in series C next to Alaudidæ. At the suggestion of
Professor Newton I place Menuridæ and Atrichidæ apart from the other
Passeres, as they both possess striking peculiarities of anatomical
structure.

The heterogeneous families constituting the order Picariæ may be
conveniently arranged as follows:

                   { 51. Picidæ          Woodpeckers.
                   { 52. Yungidæ         Wrynecks.
                   { 53. Indicatoridæ    Honey-guides.
  Sub-order--      { 54. Megalæmidæ      Barbets.
    Scansores.     { 55. Rhamphastidæ    Toucans.
                   { 56. Musophagidæ     Plantain-eaters.
                   { 57. Coliidæ         Colies.
                   { 58. Cuculidæ        Cuckoos.

  Intermediate       59. Leptosomidæ     The Leptosoma.
