 DIE VOGEL-HANDBUCH DER SYSTEMATISCHEN ORNITHOLOGIE VON A CRITIQUE
As the "Auk" is numbered among the journals used by Dr. Reichenow, we fail to under- stand why he overlooked these investigations of Mr.
Of course difference of opinion will continue, but Dr. Reichenow's is as good as any that has been advocated and has the advantage that it is more in conformity with the classification of other classes of animals.
To supply this obvious need Dr. Anton Reichenow has presented us with a splendidwork, that gives us in terse language as complete a Manual as seems necessary for placing a bird in a system of classification and in its proper relation to other forms.

 Representations of the Natural System in the Nineteenth Century
If the Natural System was symmetrical and numerical as the quinarians believed it was, then it could also be predictive: whenever we find taxa which appear to exhibit an incorrect number of subgroups, or inappropriate analogical relationships, we know that there must be other taxa in that group which have not yet been discovered.
Reichenow’s ‘Stammbaum’ of the class Aves (1882) as redrawn by Sharpe (1891).
Reichenow’s original uses German vernacular names and also numbers keyed to his text, and so acts as an evolutionary table of contents to his book.

 The birds of the Belgian Congo, part 1 : Electronic version
Save in general surveys of birds of the whole continent, such as Professor Anton Reichenow's `Die Vögel Afrikas,' no comprehensive attempt to list the birds of the Congo, either as a political or a geographical area, had previously been made.
Despite the merit of Professor Reichenow's admirable work, which continues a mainstay of African ornithologists even to-day, his treatment of the Congo was certainly less complete than of any similar area south of the Sahara.
We venture to affirm that the present area is of the highest importance in a general discussion of bird distribution throughout Africa.
