Excerpt from Tableaux Parall???liques des Oiseaux Pr???coces ou Autophages: Gallinac???s, ???chassiers, Palmip???des Et Rudipennes De plus, il est ais??? de comprendre combien est difficile la d???termination des Oiseaux fossiles, et comment la simple inspection d'un fragment d'os endommag???, ou, moins encore, d'une simple impression du pied, a pu donner a certains naturalistes une occasion plus commode que rationnelle de cr???er des esp???ces et des genres nouveaux. On con???oit aussi comment l'uniformit??? assez grande qui r???gne dans la composition du squelette des Oiseaux, conformit??? qu'on s'est encore plu ??? exag???rer, a permis a des observateurs superficiels de ballotter d'une Famille, et m???me d'un Ordre l'autre, les esp???ces les plus distinctes et les mieux caract???ris???es. Tout en disant qu'on exag???re souvent la similitude des squelettes, dont on n'???tudie g???n???ralement bien que les pattes et le bec, nous sommes forc??? d'admettre que le type Oiseau varie, quant ??? la charpente osseuse, beaucoup moins que celui des autres Animaux vert???br???s. On en pourrait citer mille exemples pour un; et certes il y a bien peu de zoologistes qui puissent cl??? cider ??? coup s???r ??? quel Ordre appartient un squelette auquel on aurait ???t??? le bec et les ongles; et leur h???sitation, assez naturelle sur ce sujet, a ???t??? la: cause de ces ballottages d'esp???ce ??? esp???ce, de genre ??? genre, dont nous ve nons de parler.
