Excerpt from Genera of Humming Birds: Being Also a Complete Monograph of These Birds
In preparing this volume I have done my best; but I do not presume that it is without fault or errors, and it is probable that in the next twenty years or so, many new forms will be discovered, and will enable other authors to make a better classification of these Birds: but nevertheless, I think that this work, Hke those of my predecessors, from Linne, Vieillot, Gmelin, Lesson, Jardine, c., to Gould, Mulsant, Bourcier, Elliot, Salvin, Berlepsch, Lawrence, Ridgway, Reichenbach, Heine, and others, will help greatly to attain that end. Each author must be satisfied in adding a stone to the edifice until its perfect completion.
I am more convinced than ever that these beautiful birds stand quite alone by themselves. They can be considered as the handsomest and most perfect, and are fully entitled to be classified separately under the name of Trochili, as I have proposed for them in my Catalogus Avium, London, 1876.
In this volume, I have distributed all the species known into eighteen families, believing that in doing so, it will facilitate their study.
