INTRODUCTION.
may be regarded as exhibiting some degree of affinity.to the previous order, while at the same
time they distinctly lead through a succession of forms, such as the Spoonbills, Storks, Herons,
and Gallinules, to the true water birds, to which in their aquatic habits the Gallinules very
beautifully approximate.
Our fifth volume contains the birds of the Natatorial Order, or swimming birds, which are
represented by the Ducks, Grebes, Divers, Auks, Pelicans and Gulls; the aerial representative
of one of these latter groups, viz. the Tachypetes, or Frigate Bird, among the Pelicans, exhibits
several traits of resemblance to the Raptores, or birds of prey.
