(half -tit. and tit.), pp. 1-112. Paris. A general essay on the (then) recent progress in natural science. On. pp. 74-89 and 92-112 are a "Tableau des Sous-Classes, Divisions, Sous-Divisions, Ordres et Genres des Oiseaux" and a "Table M6thodique de la Classe des Mammi- feres." These appear to be the "Tableaux M6thodiques des Mammiferes et des Oiseaux" first published in 1799 in the author's "Discours d'Ouverture et de Cl&ture du Cours d'Histoire Naturelle," etc. (Cf. Richmond, Auk, 16, pp. 325-329, 1899 and I.e. 17, pp. 166-167, 1900.). On pp. 72-73 and 90-91 are supplements to the "Tableau" and "Table," containing references to various authors whose recent works may be consulted for additions to the lists of genera and subgenera here published. The arrangement of the new genera of birds in these lists is the same as copied by Richmond (I.e., 17, p. 167) from Lacepede' s original Tableaux and it appears probable, therefore, that the tables have not been altered here, but I am unable to state this definitely in the 365 366 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. absence of the original work. Although the title-page bears the date, 1818, the general text (p. 71) is dated December 12, 1818, and Engelmann quotes the work under date of the following year, which is probably correct. The present copy is bound with Vol. XII of Lace"pede's "Oeuvres Completes de Buffon, Nouvelle (Rapet) Ed.," 1817-19 (Cf. Buffon, 1818.). It forms a sort of appendix or supplement to this work and was originally intended to be issued with Vol. XII; a note by the publishers on p. 566 of that volume announces that it will form a separate volume which will be issued separately a month later and supplied free to subscribers. It therefore may be considered to form a distinct publication under its own title. Lacroix, Adrien. 1873-75.

I can find no infor- mation relative to its manner of publication except that much the same subject matter was covered by the author in articles published in the Bulletin de la Societ6 d'Histoire Naturelle de Toulouse, 1872-75. The present work may be a compilation of these, published in 1875. The preface, dated April 9, 1873, begins on a page whose heading is the title of one of the articles, not of the complete work.-reading, "Catalogue raiscrine" des Oiseaux Observes sur le versant Francais des Pyre'ne'es," etc. The copy has the name of Lacroix in manuscript on the title-page and con- tains the bookplate of F.'D.

There are also appended two supplements which appear. to have been published in the "Correspondenzblatt des landwirtschaftlichen Vereins" where the present work made its first appearance; I am unable to fix any dates for them. A reference in each of the supplements indicates that the general work appeared in the "Corr. Bl. des landw. Vereins, Jahrgang 1835, Bd.

The report on the zoology of the voyage of La Favorite. This forms the fifth volume of text of the complete report of 1833-39, which embraces 5 vols. text and 2 vols. plates (not including the plates in the present volume). It consists of a reprint of various papers which appeared in the "Magasin de Zoologie" during the years 1836-39. The ornithological portion, which occupies pp. 29-64 quater. of Pt. II and pll. 10-25, appeared in the "Magasin" as follows. Pp. 29-64 and pll. 10-24 appeared in 1836 as pp. 3-37 (pagination separate) and pll. 62-76, one leaf (pp. 1-2) being occupied by a title-page, not reprinted; pp. 64 bis-64 quater. and pi. 25 appeared in 1838 as pp. 1-3 (pagination separate) and pi. 86. The text of the reprint is practically identical with its original, although there are minor alterations; pi. 18 (70 in the original) is labeled Passerina montana instead of P. guttata, an error which is corrected on p. 49, footn. There are some differences, also, in the coloration of the plates. The ornithologi- cal text is the work of Eydoux and Gervais; the plates are by E. Travi^s, G. PrStre and A. Prevost.

(note), pp. 1-398, vignette (on engr. tit.), text-figs. 114- 338. London. A little work of considerable scope in which the author reviews the entire class, Aves. Pt. I relates to the "structure and natural history of birds in general"; Pt. II, to the "bibliography, nomenclature and preservation" (=taxidermy) "of birds"; Pt. Ill, to the "natural history and relations of the different orders, tribes, and families of birds"; Pt. IV contains a "synopsis of a natural arrange- ment of birds" in which families and genera are described (some of the genera being new) and characteristic species are listed. Pt. V, intended for this work and containing descriptions of numerous species, was issued in 1837 as Pt. Ill of "Animals in Menageries" (q.v.), another volume of the present series of "The Cabinet Cyclopaedia." Some new species are named in the present work in various parts of the text. Vol. I contains Pts. I, II and a portion of III; Vol. II completes the work. The numerous text-figures are mostly illustrative of morphological details and are of excellent quality, being drawn by the author. The text is not entirely reliable since many of the author's statements are strained to accord with the "Quinary System" of classification, adopted throughout. Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. i, p. CXXI, 1922) cites Vol. I under date of Oct. 1836 and II, under date of June 1837 ; Richmond (Auk, *7 P- !79 1900) quotes Vol. II under date of July, 1837. In the present copy, the original title-pages bearing the words, "The Cabinet Cyclopaedia," have been replaced by the substitute title-pages reading, "The Cabinet of Natural History." These substitute title-pages appear to have been issued with certain volumes to permit all the works relating to natural history to be segregated, if desired, under their own special heading.

Accounts of the habits and peculiarities of mammals and birds found in menageries and aviaries or suitable for preservation therein; compiled from various sources. This was the original content of the work (Pts. I and II), but a third part was added to include matter which had been omitted, through necessity, from a former work, "On the Natural History and Classification of Birds," 1836-37 (q.v.), in the same series as the present volume. This added matter was origin- ally intended to form Pt. V. (Vol. II) of that treatise and is cited as such in the text of the volume, itself, as well as in the author's "Birds of Western Africa," 1837 (q.v.). A note on the unpaged leaf in Vol. II of the "Nat. Hist, and Classif. of Birds" and a footnote on p. 244 of Vol. II of the "Birds of Western Africa" ex- plain the necessity for omitting the paper from its indicated position (owing to the bulk of the volume) and state the plan to publish it in connection with a later volume of the series, as was done herewith. The note in the "Birds of Western Africa" further states that "proof sheets have been forwarded to our most dis- tinguished ornithologists," a circumstance which may constitute a prior publica- tion of the subject matter, dating between June and September, 1837. The pa- per is important since it consists of descriptions and notes on the habitat of 229 species, i genus and i subgenus of birds, most of which are new. The present volume bears the date 1838 but Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. i, p. CXXI, 1922) gives the date of publication as December 1837.

A series of descriptions and colored plates of birds of the world, arranged under vernacular names but with a list of synonyms under each, including Linnaean binomials. At the completion of the work, the author prepared an "Index Ornithologicus," 1790 (q.v.), in which a scientific nomenclature is adopted for the species. He also issued a "Supplement," 1787, and a "Supplement II," 1801 (q.v.), to the present work, and after the completion of the second supple- ment issued a "Supplementum Indicis Ornithologici," 1801 (q.v.), to establish the nomenclature of the forms therein. Considerably later, a new edition of the work was issued under the title of "A General History of Birds," 1821-28 (q.v.). An edition in German, revised and supplemented by Bechstein, appeared in 1793-1812 (Cf. Latham, Johann Lathams Allgemeine Uebersicht der Vogel.). Of the present series of works, the edition was 500 copies except of "Supple- ment II" which Latham states (Gen. Hist. Bds. i, p. VI) was published by his booksellers and not by himself and limited to 250 copies. The preface to Vol. I Pt. i is dated Jan. i, 1781 ; of II Pt. I, Dec. i, 1783; of HI Pt. I, May 2, 1785.

A systematic catalogue of the birds of the world, based on the author's "General Synopsis of Birds," 1781-85 (q.v.), and the first "Supplement" thereto, 1787 (q.v.). It contains Latin diagnoses of the species, genera and higher groups and assigns binomial names to the species which, in the earlier works, were dis- cussed under vernacular names. Synonymy, habitat and diagnostic notes, aside from the descriptions, are given for each species. Mathews (Birds of Australia, Suppl. 4, p. 75, 1925) states that it was acknowledged by the Philos. Soc., London, on Dec. 9.

(comprising Vol. IV). Much additional matter is added by the translator and editor, Bechstein. A large part of the addenda to Vol. I is added at the close of the volume (pp. 651-738 and pll. "Zus." i and 2) under the separate title-page, "Anhang zum ersten Bande," etc.; the additions to the other volumes are scattered through the text. The plates, for the most part, are reproductions of those in Latham's original work. Pts. I and II of Vol. IV contain additional title-pages lettered, "Kurze Ueber- sicht aller bekannten Vogel," etc., which, for convenience, are transcribed under that title (q.v., 1811-12).

A systematic list of oriental or near-oriental animals with their Latin binomial names, mostly copied from the second edition of Pennant's "Indian Zoology," 1791 (q.v.), and published here as an extract (with additional title-page) from Forster's "Indische Zoologie . . . Zweite Auflage," 1795. The history of the publication is as follows. In 1769 Pennant published (in English and French) his "Indian Zoology," which was left more or less incomplete. His materials were turned over to Forster who, in 1781, published his "Zoologia Indica" or 1926. CATALOGUE OF AYER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 375 "Indische Zoologie" (in Latin and German), -a translation of Pennant's work with the addition of three more plates (supplied by Pennant), the descriptions of the three birds and two fishes figured thereon, and other matter left unfin- ished or not supplied by Pennant, including a brief 'faunula' or list of Indian animals. In 1791, Pennant issued a second edition of his own work, consisting of a reprint of his first edition and an English translation (not strictly literal as regards descriptions of species) of the additions made by Forster, and with the further addition of "The Indian Faunula" entirely rewritten and enlarged by Latham and Davies (Davies being the author of the ornithology in it). In 1795, Forster published a reprint of his first translation, to which he added "The Indian Faunula" of Latham and Davies with certain additions of his own, and, the same year, issued this portion separately, with added title-page, as collated above. The original list published in Pennant's work (1791), con- tained English names for the mammals and birds but Latin names for the rest of the animals. The revised list in Forster (1795) contains Latin names through- out but is credited by Forster to Latham and Davies except for the additional species which he credits to himself. Presumably the ornithological portion remains the work of Davies in so far as it retains the species of the old list. The ornithological additions by Forster are not always easily discernible, but in most cases Davies's names may be recognized as the Latin forms of the English terms used in Pennant, and, by elimination, the new names may be recognized.

Consecutive numbering of species and plates follows that of the earlier volumes. The "Supplementum Indicis Ornithologici," 1801 (q.v.), including the species in this volume only, is bound with the present volume and may have been issued with it. The date of the present volume is somewhat in doubt. The present copy is dated "MDCCCI" as quoted above, but Engel- mann cites "1802," while Mullens & Swann note "MDCCCII," adding that the last numeral appears to have been added after the work was printed. All the plates in the "Supplement II" bear the legend, "Published as the Act directs May 30, 1801, by Leigh, Sotheby & Son, York Street, Covent Garden." This volume was issued directly by the publishers to whom Latham disposed of his manuscript, whereas in the earlier volumes the author retained owner- ship until just prior to the publication of the present work (Cf. Latham, General History of Birds" i, p. VI.). The impression of the present volume was reduced to 250 copies. 376 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. Latham, John. 1801?.

A new edition of the author's "General Synopsis of Birds/' 1781-85 (q.v.), rewrit- ten and enlarged to include the species treated in the two supplements to that work as well as forms discovered since their publication. The nomenclature is vernacular except for the scientific names mentioned in the synonymy, and the new species described in the work were left for later authors to name. Most of the plates present the same figures of birds as are given in the earlier work; some of them are new. The "Index," in the present copy is bound in, intact, at the close of Vol. X, but it was issued in such form as to be divided into sections, if so desired, with the index to each volume attached to its own letterpress.

A series of descriptions of new or noteworthy species and genera of animals, accompanied by hand-colored plates. The work is a continuation of Shaw and Nodder's "Naturalist's Miscellany." Vols. I and II were issued in parts, according to a statement in an advertisement at the close of Vol. Ill; Vol. Ill appears to have been issued entire. An examination of the signatures in Vols. I and II shows various places where there are less than four leaves to a signature, and, as these occur at more or less regular intervals, it seems probable that they mark the ends of the various parts. According to these marks, the following arrangement of parts is suggested. Vol. I; pp. 1-18, 19-28, 29-38, 39-48, 49-58, 59-7O, 71-80, 81-92, 93-102, 103-114, 115-126, 127-138, 139-144 (indices and advt.).

In Vol. II, pi. 80 was issued with the part containing p. 59 where there is a state- ment that the explanation of this plate will appear with the following number; it occurs on p. 61. It seems that five plates, in serial order, accompanied the first 12 parts of each volume. Pll. 1-4 (of Vol. I) are dated "Jany. 1814," 6-8, "Feby. 1814," 14, "March 1814." The final part of these first two volumes 380 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. probably came out the years after the dates on the respective subtitle-pages; in Vol. I, p. 144 is an advertisement of a work said to have been published on Jan. i, 1815, and on the last page of Vol. II is a similar advertisement for a work which "was published" Jan. i, 1815. Vol. Ill was planned to appear Jan. i r 1817, according to a statement at the close of Vol. II. There is only one full title-page for all three volumes. Leach, William Elford. 1819.

The matter is arranged as if on specimen labels, which fact, coupled with the exceeding rarity of the original book, has led to the belief that the work was printed for the express purpose of being cut into actual labels but that it was never published. For a long time, only one copy (that in the British Museum) was known, but another copy has come to light in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. This, together with the fact that the preface contains a statement to the effect that species not enumerated in the list are desiderata and will be acceptable (followed by a list of species not represented in the collection), seems to prove that the paper was actually published and dis- tributed. There are no descriptions and the new specific names, used in the paper, are nomina nuda, but the generic names are tenable although some of them are antedated by Koch's "System der Baierischen Zoologie," published before July the same year (Cf. Richmond, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 35, No. 1656, Dec. 16, 1908, p. 621, footn. a.). Leach's preface is dated August 30, 1816. The present copy is a reprint published by The Willughby Society (q.v.).

A series of hand-colored lithographs (numbered 1-136 by hand), without text other than the legends which contain the common and scientific names of the species quoted from Temminck, Gould, Naumann and Bonaparte. One plate is devoted to each species and several varieties of coloration are often figured. Some of the plates are moderately good but others are very poorly executed. Seventeen parts, of eight plates each, are present and appear to comprise all published. There is no title except that on the original wrappers as transcribed above. The cover of Pt. i is placed in the front of the volume in lieu of a title- page; the remaining covers are bound together at the close. These wrappers are identical except for the hand-written number and are dated 1844. One wrapper is numbered "4-6" and one, "8-10"; the remainder each bear a single number. The third page of each contains a statement to the effect that the work was supposed to appear monthly. The Zool.

Mathews (Birds of Austr., 7, p. 456) states that the work was acknowledged by the "B.F." ( = Bibliographic de la France) as received June 28, 1828. A review of the genotypes in this work was given by Laubmann in the Archiv fur Naturgeschichte, 85 Jahrg., 1919, Abt. A., 4, pp. 137-168, Aug. 1920. Lesson, Rene Primevere. 1829-30.

The first of a series of three volumes dealing with the hummingbirds. The present volume was succeeded by the "Histoire Naturelles des Colibris," 1830-32 (q.v.), and "Les Trochilide'es," 1832-33 (q.v.). The date of publication of the present volume is somewhat in doubt. Coues asserts that the work began in January 1829 and ended in September 1829, but Giebel, Engelmann, Agassiz, the Zoological Society of London, the Library of the British Museum (Natural History), and others, cite 1829-30. Cuvier in the second edition of "Le Regne Animal," Vol. Ill, p. 385, 1830 (preface to volume dated March 1830), remarks that the work in question was then in course of publication. The Catalogue of the Library of the British Museum (Natural Histury), quoting the "Biblio- graphic de la France" assigns livrs. i-io to the year 1829 and the remainder of the volume to 1830. Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. i, p. LXXX, 1922) says, "pp. 1-144, pis. I-XL, 1829; 145-224, XLI-XLVI, 1830." 1926. CATALOGUE OF AYER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 387 The work was issued in 17 livraisons and the signatures are as follows. Pre- liminary matter, 4 11. (without sign.), the preface dated Jan. 10, 1829; signs, "b" and "c", table of species, dated May 1829; sign, "d," completion of table and a supplement thereto which is dated September 1829; signs. 1-12, general text; 2 11. (without sign.), index. In the present copy, this volume and the one on "Des Colibris" are divided and bound with the text to both in one volume and the plates in a second volume. A third volume in uniform binding consists of the author's "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Paradis et des Epimaques," 1834-35, (q.v.), text and plates. The volume of plates in the present copy is prefaced by the front wrapper of Livraison 1 7 of the present title, which bears the following inscription surrounded by a broad, figured border. "Histoire naturelle | des | Oiseaux-Mouches, | par R. P. Lesson, | auteur | de la zoologie du voyage autour du monde, etc.; | de'die'e | A S.A.R.

The figures and words "176" and "et Derniere" are written by hand, which suggests that the same wrappers were used throughout the publication, with numbers added as required, in which case the date printed below would not present conclusive evidence as to date of publication.

A descriptive catalogue of birds, with a synoptic list of genera and higher groups and with diagnoses and synonymies following in the main text; illustrated by hand-colored plates. The work was published in 8 livraisons, regarding whose dates of publication there is considerable doubt. Mathews (Novit. Zool. 18, p. 14, 1911) quotes, from the "Bibliotheque Francaise," ( = Bibliographic de la France) the dates of receipt of the various livraisons as follows. Livr. i, Feb. 13, 1830; 2, May 8, 1830; 3, July 10, 1830; 4, Sept. 25, 1830; 5, ?; 6, about March i, 1831 ; 7, April 9, 1831 ; 8, June 1 1, 1831. Livrs. 1-4 and 7-8 are accred- ited with 5 sheets of text each, livr. i with no plates, 2 with 30 pll., 3-4 and 7-8 with 15 pll. each, but this arrangement does not account for all the letterpress and allows one plate over the number published (assuming that livrs. 5 and 6 were similar to the adjacent numbers). In the "Revue Zoologique," 1848, PP- 39-48, Lafresnaye refers a number of times to the "Trait6 d'Ornithologie" which he says was published in 8 livraisons from November 1828 to November 388 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. 1830, but this statement is not supported by any other reference I can find. Mathews (I.e.) assigns certain pages to the various parts, but he does not ac- count for the prefatory matter (pp. I-XXXIJ) which includes the title dated 1831 and the preface dated November 1830. Furthermore, since the Bibliog- raphic de la France apparently omits all mention of Livr. 5, the contents of this and the succeeding parts are uncertain. Lesson, Rene Primevere. 1830-32.

Nat. des Oiseaux-Mouches," 1829-30 (q.v.), with a supplement to the earlier volume. The pagination is continuous in this volume but the plates are numbered separately for the Colibris and for the Suppl. Ois.-Mouch. There is a question as to the dates of publication. Most authors and bibliographers quote 1830-31, both dates appearing in the text, and a notice by the editor on p. II of "Les Trochilide'es," 1832-33 (q.v.), states that the present work completed its publication in December 1831. The Catalogue of the Library of the British Museum (Natural History), quoting the "Bibliographic de la France," assigns Livrs. 1-3 to 1830; 4-12, 1831; and 13, 1832; with plates issued in the first 12 parts only. The signatures are as fol- lows. Titles and ded., 3 11. (no sign.); 2 11. preface (no sign.); signs. 1-12, text; 2 11. (no sign.), index 1 . This title was followed by the work entitled "Les Trochilide'es," 1832-33 (q.v.), and was reissued in 1847. A second copy in the Ayer Ornithological Library is bound in one volume.

CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 389 The concluding volume of the series relating to the hummingbirds (Cf. "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseux-Mouches," 1829-30, and "Hist. Nat. des Colibris," 1830- 32.). The general text is of the same nature as that of the preceding volumes. Following it, on pp. J-XLIIJ, is given a general synoptic index to all the hummingbirds, with short diagnoses and some synonymy of the species and higher groups. This is separately titled, as follows. "Index | general et synop- tique | des oiseaux | du | genre Trochilus, | Par R. P. Lesson. [ Paris. | Arthus Bertrand, Libraire, | 6diteur du voyage autour du monde par le Capitaine Duperrey, | Rue Hautefeuille, No. 23. | M DCCC XXXII." There is a difference of authorities as to dates of publication. The work was issued in 14 livraisons. Engelmann gives 1832-33 as dates of issue; Coues cites only 1832; the Library of the British Museum (Natural History), quoting from the "Bibliographic de la France," assigns Livrs. 1-7 to 1832 and the rest of the book to 1833; the title-page of the "Index" in the work in question bears the date 1832 (probably in the nth or i2th livr.), while the author's preface is dated December 1831. The signatures are as follows. Half-tit, and tit. (2 11.), no sign.; sign, "a" (2 11.), ed. notice and pref.; signs, i-n (4), text; 2 11., no sign., table; signs. "a"-"f" (2) (4 11. to each sign, except in "f"), "Index." Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. i, p. LXXX, 1922) says "Pp. 1-112, 1832; 113-172, & pis. I-XLIII, 1833."

The work was issued in 20 livraisons of 3 pll. each. Many of the con- tributions are dated, but the dates are those of preparation, not of publication. Mathews (Novit. Zool., 18, p. 12, 1911) quotes the following dates from the "Bibliotheque Francaise" ( = Bibliographic de la France). Livr. I, July 14, 1832; 2, Sept. i, 1832; 3, Oct. 13, 1832; 4, Nov. 3, 1832; 5, Dec. i, 1832; 6, Febr. 23, 1833; 7, April 13, 1833; 8, Aug. 10, 1833; 9, Aug. 24, 1833; 10, Oct. 19, 1833; ii, Dec. 21, 1833; 12, March 22, 1834; 13, May 17, 1834; 14, Aug. 2, 1834; 15, Jan. 17, 1835. Livrs. 17 and 20, according to Mathews (1. c.), are cited in the Comptes Rendus for Dec. 1835, P- 5 1 ?! therefore, Livrs. 16-20 will date 1835. Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. i, p. LXXX, 1922) says, "pis. 1-15, 1832; 16-33, 1833; 34-42, 1834; 43-60, 1835." 390 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. Lesson, Rene Primevere. J 834-35.

The plates are engravings, printed in colors and afterwards retouched by hand. The first edition, in 4to, was issued in 51 livraisons from 1796 to 1812 and the present edition is ascribed to the same period by the "Catalogue of the Library of the British Museum (Natural History)," although the title-pages present only the dates 1805 to 1808 as in the above transcription. Aside from the change from 4to to folio, I do not know what differences exist in the two editions. A continuation of the work was contemplated by Levaillant [Cf. Cat. Libr. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.).] but was not produced. Ostensibly based on the author's personal observations and collections in southern Africa, the book is a monument of deception. An infinity of detail is given of the habits of the various species and of the circumstances under which the specimens de- scribed or figured were secured by the author in Africa, but many of these species do not inhabit any part of that continent. Some of the specimens thus claimed to have been taken personally, have proved to be artifacts. Errors of previous authors have been perpetuated, with an added element of personality given by Levaillant who cites exact data for his supposed specimens. A careful review of the work is given by Sundeevall in the second part of his "Kritisk 392 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI.

One vol- ume, only, was published which consists of monographs of the Bucerotidae and the Cotingidae, with 49 of the proposed 240 plates. The work was continued under a separate title (Cf. Levaillant, Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de Para- dis, etc.). The present volume was issued in 8 parts of which 1-4 appeared in 1801 and 5-8 in 1802 (Cat. Libr. Brit. Mus. [Nat. Hist.)], but I am uncertain as to the division of parts. The Bucerotidae are treated on pp. 1-51 and pll. 1-24, and the Cotingidae on pp. 53-110 and pll. 25-49, an arrangement which divides the volume into two nearly equal parts. The plates are duplicated, one of each being colored and one plain. The former are printed in colors and re- touched by hand. No scientific nomenclature is used in the text.

London. 1882. 398 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. The nature of the work is identical with that of the same title, edited by W. B. Tegetmeier, published the same year also by the Willughby Society (q.v.). The details of the two reprints are not identical, as will be shown hereunder. The prefaces of the two editions vary in the details given of the life of Lich- tenstein and differ noticeably in their summaries of the new species contained in the succeeding pages. Tegetmeier lists but 36 new species; Godman gives the number as 38, including, properly, No. 362 (Columba assimilis) and No. 500 (Turdus macrourus) which are not mentioned by Tegetmeier. Tegetmeier calls his edition "a literal reprint (the orthographical and typo- graphical errors being intentionally reproduced)" "line for line and letter for letter" from the copy in the Banksian Library, British Museum; Godman says his edition is "reproduced literatim et verbatim" from the copy in the Library of the British Museum. In spite of this fact, differences occur throughout, beginning with the reprinted title-page, lines 4, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 29, 30 and 31. A common source of difference in the later pages is in the diphthongs 'ae' and 'ce' which are interpreted in one form by Tegetmeier and exactly the opposite by Godman. The other differences are too numerous to mention. However, it is obviously impossible that both editions can be exact reprints of the same copy. There is no published evidence which I can find to explain the reason for the two editions. Godman's issue was printed by Taylor and Francis, and Teget- meier 's by Horace Cox, but since both firms were employed in the printing of other of the Willughby reprints, no light is thrown on the possible unauthen- ticity of either edition. The Catalogue of the Library of the British Museum (Natural History), The Zoological Record for 1882, and the Catalogue of the Library of the Zoological Society of London mention only Godman's reprint. There is no current review in the Ibis. The advertising pages at the close of each copy list that particular edition among the regular publications of the Society but say nothing of another edition. A possible solution of the puzzle is suggested by the advertising pages of the reprint of "Wagler's six ornitho- logical memoirs from the Isis," 1884 (q.v.). In these there appears a statement, signed by Godman as Secretary of the Society, that there had been consider- able delay in the publication of some of the numbers, on account of which the Committee had made a change in regard to editorial supervision which it was hoped would obviate further difficulties of this nature. The present paper was among those which had been delayed since it was due in 1880, and Tegetmeier was Director of the Society! Liechtenstein, Martin Heinrich Karl. 1854.

CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 399 A hand-list of the specimens of birds in the Berlin Museum, giving the distribu- tion of each species, the number of specimens at hand and, in some cases, the price at which duplicates will be sold. The list seems to have been published by Lichtenstein whose name is signed to the preface although acknowledg- ments are made (p. VI) for a certain amount of assistance rendered by Cabanis. Some confusion exists in the fact that Lichtenstein quotes his own genera as "Licht." and those of Cabanis as "Nob." but the arrangement of species is not entirely that followed by Cabanis, and the latter author, in his "Museum Heineanum," 1850-63 (q.v.), cites the present work as of Lichtenstein, so Cabanis, probably, is not to be quoted under the present title. Many of the names used elsewhere by Cabanis, and first published by him, were taken from specimens in the Berlin Museum labelled in the first place by Lichtenstein, so the names characterized as "Nob" in the "Nomenclator" may have been orig- inated by Lichtenstein, although published first by Cabanis. The "Nomen- clator" is useful, principally, for the definite localities given for the species, many of which were described elsewhere, without such exact information, from the specimens listed herein.

The second edi- tion, also in parts, commenced in April 1891 (at the time Pt. XVIII, first ed., appeared) and overtook the first edition in Sept. 1894 with the issue of Pt. XXVIII, after which the same parts of both editions appeared simultaneously until the completion of the work. The editions are said to be identical except 4oo FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. in Pts. VII-XVII in which various improvements were made in the second issue. The work was incomplete at the time of Lord Lilford's death and was then taken in hand by Osbert Salvin (as explained in a note on pp. XXIII- XXIV of Vol. I) who produced Pts. XXXIV-XXXVI. The original wrappers of the second edition bear the following dates. Pts. I-IV, April 1891; V-VI, June 1891; VII, July 1891; VIII, Aug. 1891; IX, Oct. 1891; X, Dec. 1891; XI, Febr. 1892; XII, May 1892; XIII, June 1892; XIV, July 1892; XV, Aug. 1892; XVI-XVn, Nov. 1892; XVin, Dec. 1892; XIX, Feb. 1893; XX, March 1893; XXI, May 1893; XXII, June 1893; XXIH, July 1893; XXIV, Oct. 1893; XXV, Nov. 1893; XXVI, Dec. 1893; XXVII, Aug. 1894; XXVffl, Sept. 1894; XXIX, Nov. 1894; XXX, Febr. 1895; XXXI, June 1895; XXXII, April 1896; XXXIII, Nov. 1896; XXXIV, April 1897; XXXV, Nov. 1897; XXXVI, [N.d.,; Jan. 1898 (Mullens & Swann).] The concluding part appears to have contained the full text for the complete work, the frontispiece, the title-pages and all prefatory matter for each volume, and the general index. Collations of both editions, showing the various species and the number and date of the part in which the plate of each appeared, are given in Vol I, pp. XXV-XXVI, Vol. II, pp. V-VI and Vol. Ill, pp. V-VI.

A list of the species figured in the "Natural History of Uncommon Birds" and "Gleanings of Natural History" (q.v.) by Edwards, with Latin binomials ap- plied by Linne". This work was prepared by Linne' after Edwards's death and appears to have been published by Robson for inclusion in copies of Edwards's work since a notice on p. 15 gives directions for its insertion in copies of the latter. The paper on "Some Memoirs of the Life and Works of George Ed- wards" (probably by Robson, q.v.) was issued the same year as the present brochure, and in the copy at hand is included in the same wrapper.

(1800?-) 1802. Turton's translation of the i3th edition of Linnets "Systema Naturae" which was published by Gmelin in 1788-93. The ornithology occupies pp. 131-637 of Vol. I, and one plate. Vol. I was printed in 1800 and III in 1801, according to a statement in the colophon of each, but actual publication, judging by the date on the title-pages, appears to have been reserved until completion of the four volumes. These four volumes are complete for zoology but embrace only that subject. Three additional volumes on the remaining subjects of natural history were published subsequently with a reissue of the present four which were then supplied with new title-pages, making the complete set of seven volumes. The present set, however, is to be quoted separately. Engelmann confuses the two editions and cites colored plates. 1926. CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 403 Linne, Karl von. 1907.

It contains alterations and additions to the general text as made necessary by researches since the publication of the parts of the work concerned (except for portions of Pt. 3 which antedate the yet unpublished conclusion of Vol. XII). It also gives a resume' of the forms treated in the work, with references to original descriptions and to plates in Gould and the present work, and with notes on the distribution of the species. The Bibliography is explained by its title. The colored plates are by J. G. Keulemans, H. Gronvold, H. Goodchild, G. E. Lodge and Roland Green and are very attractive.

The 8vo format of Meyer's "Illustrations of British Birds," 1835-41 et seq. According to Mullens & Swann and (less explicitly) Cams & Engelmann, there are two editions comprised in the set collated above. The title-page of Vol. I indicates that it belongs to the edition of 1841-50. The remaining volumes belong to the edition of 1852-57 and appeared as indicated on their titles, Vol. VI probably in 1856, the first volume in 1852. Discrepancies in the num- ber of plates in Vol. I as here represented and as collated by Coues and by Mullens & Swann, indicate a possibility that only the title-page is out of place. Vol. I of the 1841-50 edition is said to have contained 60 pll.; the copy at hand has 65 pll. (59 col.). However, the Cat. Libr. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) lists a copy of the work under dates of 1842-53 evidently mixed in the same manner as the present set. The original edition was in 4to, and, like the 8vo editions, was issued in parts. 434 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. Michelet, Jules. (Adams, William Henry Davenport.) 1870.

The extent of each livraison is indeterminate from the present copy but the Zoologica 1 record lists the various species figured on the plates as they appeared, from which it is possible to get the approximate dates of some of the illustrations. However, it is apparent that plates and text were not synchronous. For example, Dolero- mia fattax is discussed in Vol. I where it is accompanied (in the bound volume) by the plate of this species, but the Zoological Record notes the publication of the figure of this species in Vol. Ill, Pts. 3-4.

Although the cover-title is dated 1877, the supplement appears not to have been issued until 1879, according to the Zoological Record. The addition of these plates to the general work has led, apparently, to the citation of a varying number of plates under the earlier dates.

Since the region embraced by the "Ausfuhrliche Beschreibung^ (Anhaltischen Furstenthumern) is less extensive than that included in the "Naturgeschichte" (Xordlichen Deutschlands und angranzender Lander), the former is assumed to constitute the original title of the work as first projected while the latter (adopted for the entire work) repre- sents the final title. 456 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL.

Begun as a series of descriptions of the birds of the Principalities of Anhalt (now part of Thuringia), Vol. I was issued under the title of "Johann Andreas Naumann's ausfurliche Beschreibung aller Wald- Feld- und Wasser-V6gel," etc. (Cf . above transcription and footnote 4.). Pts. i and 2 of this volume were published in Leipzig in 1795 in commission with Friedrich Osterloh. With Pt. 3, the publisher was changed to J. A. Aue and new subtitle-pages were issued for the first two parts to agree with the new arrangement; these new sub- title-pages were also inscribed with the title of "Johann Andreas Naumann's ausfuhrliche Beschreibung," etc., as were the subtitle-pages of Pts. 3-6 of Vol. I and the title-page for the completed volume. With the inception of Vol. II (perhaps beforehand) it apparently was determined to enlarge the scope of the work so as to include the birds of all of northern Germany and outlying regions, and the title was altered, in accordance with this plan, to "Naturgeschichte der Land- und Wasser-Vogel des nordlichen Deutschlands und angranzender Lan- der." For the sake of uniformity, a new title-page and new subtitle-pages were printed for Vol. I and its six parts, containing the new title, and in this form the work was carried to completion. On account of the various changes just men- tioned, two styles of title-page and three of subtitle-page are in existence; the present copy contains one of title and two of subtitle as transcribed above. The final title for the work, however, is "Naturgeschichte der Land- und Wasser-Vogel." With the early change in publisher, the reissued title-pages for Pts. i and 2 were inscribed with the date of the reissue, the date of Pt. 3, 1796. J. F. Naumann, in the preface (p. VIII) to Vol. I of his "Naturgeschichte der Vogel Deutschlands," 1822-60 (q.v.), gives the inclusive dates of the present work as 1796-1817, but there is no reason to doubt that the first two parts actually appeared in 1795 at Leipzig, as dated on the original subtitle-pages of these parts. Each part of the work contained 8 plates, drawn and (beginning with pi. XVI of Vol. i, Pt. i) engraved by the author's son, Johann Friedrich Naumann (junior author of the supplementary parts). From Pt. i of Vol. I to Pt. 3 of the Supplement, the plates were in demy folio (largest example at hand, ioX x 14)4, trimmed) ; the remainder were in 8vo, at least no folio plates are known beyond this point. Somewhere about the date of the first Supplement (1804), the artist commenced the preparation of a series of 8vo plates to take the place of the earlier folio issues, revising the composition and details of every plate and keeping only the original numbers of the plates and figures (with certain corrections) and dividing pi. XX of Suppl., Pt. 3, into two plates, XXA and XXB. This issue of 8vo plates constitutes an insoluble mystery. Various specu- lations have been advanced regarding the reasons for, and methods of, publica- tion and regarding the consequent disappearance of all but a very limited number of the original folio impressions. 1926. CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 457 The earliest folio plates undoubtedly were somewhat crude, compared with the later ones or with the 8vo plates, and it is conceivable that the artist may have wished to destroy these earlier examples of his handiwork and to replace them by the later, more perfect drawings, but this motive is by no means proven nor is the method clear by means of which such an object could have been accomplished. There is no printed record of any such transaction requested or fulfilled, and the artist-author later kept silent in the face of published request for information on the early work. Only three copies of the work are known which have the full number (192) of folio plates and at least one of these copies has been completed from an out- side source; nine copies are known which are more or less complete (including the present set, three copies are known in a very fragmentary form, possibly more which are unrecorded. It seems incredible that the work could have been carried to completion with only fifteen subscribers or with double that number, assuming that half of the original copies have been destroyed; the author was not rich and was not subsidized and he advertised his work for sale at the low price of "i thl. 16 gr." per part (Vol. Ill, Pt. 7, advt. leaf). The present set, like others of the imperfect copies, has most of the plates in folio and the re- mainder in 8vo. Specimens are more common with all of the plates in 8vo; an example of this kind is catalogued below (q.v.). There are two issues of pi. XXXI of Vol. I, Pt. 4. In one of these the upper figure is looking forward to the left; in the other its body is directed to the right but its head is turned backwards to the left, and there are other differ- ences. The present copy is of the former type. The preface to Vol. Ill, Pt. i is dated, March 1789. In Suppl., Pt. 4, 1811 (which contains the description of the new genus Acrocephalus, p. 199) there is on p. 191 a reference to an occurrence "am 20. Mai dieses Jahres" which may be of assistance in fixing the date of this part. Leverkuhn, I.e. (Cf. footn. i.) gives a very thorough account of the Naumanns and their ornithological works including voluminous details regarding the present title. For further accounts see Lindner, Mitth. ornith. Ver. Wien., 18, pp. 109-111 and 125-128, 1894; Ornith. Monatsb., 21, pp. 47-49 and 52, 1913: Schiller, Ornith. Monatsb., 21, p. 67, 1913. To recapitulate, the present copy has all of the letterpress except that of Vol. Ill, Pt. 9, and this gap is filled by the text of the 8vo edition which is identical. The full title-pages of Vols. I and IV, missing here, are also supplied in the 8vo edition. The frontispiece of Vol. IV is missing from both sets. Of the folio plates there are 136 present, including all belonging to Vol. I; Vol. II; Vol. Ill, Pts. 1-8; and Vol. IV, Pt. i (lacking those of Vol. Ill, Pt. 9; Vol. IV, Pts. 2-4; and Suppl., Pts. 1-3). The 8vo plates (the only ones issued) for Suppl., Pts. 4-8, are all present. Vol. IV, Pts. 2-4 and Suppl., Pts. 1-3 are supplied with 8vo plates instead of the missing folio examples. There are no plates in this set for Vol. Ill, Pt. 9, but the 8vo plates for that number are in the 8vo set (q.v.). Naumann, Johann Andreas. (Naumann, Johann Friedrich.) 1795-1817.

The text of the present edition is identical with that which accompanied the folio plates (collated above), even to the inclusion of the corrigenda which often have no application here since the required alterations were made in the new plates. It is evidently the original text, intact. All of the plates, however, are in 8vo. Those of Suppl., Pts. 4-6 (7 and 8 missing) are the same as in the earlier issue since no folio plates were published for these parts, but the rest are new. 1 They are of entirely new designs and are related to the original folio plates only by reason of representing the same species and by carrying the same num- bers for plates and figures (with corrections as necessary and with the substitu- tion of two plates for one, as mentioned in the collation). These 8vo plates are unquestionably of later issue than the folio plates of corresponding numbers. A few of them are signed with the date of preparation and in every such case the date is subsequent to the date of publication of the original issue. The following examples have been noted. Vol. I, Pt. 3, pi. XVII, dat. 1804; folio dat. 1796. Vol. I, Pt. 4, pi. XXXI, dat. 1804; folio dat. 1797. Vol. I, Pt. 5, pi. XXXIV, dat. 1805; folio dat. 1797. Vol. I, Pt. 6, pll. XLI, XLII and XLVIII, dat. 1805; folio dat. 1797. Vol. Ill, Pt. i, pi. I, dat. 1806; folio dat. 1799. Vol. Ill, Pt. 4, pi. XXXI, dat. 1807; folio dat. 1800. Vol. Ill, Pt. 9, pi. LXVII, dat. 1807; folio dat. 1802-03?. J. F. Naumann him- self (Naturg. Vogel Deutschl., 13, p. 454), referring to pi. XLVI (fig. 105) of Vol. I, Pt. 6, (folio publ. 1797), says that the 8vo plate of the same species ap- peared "schon c. 10 Jahr spater." Exact dates of publication of any of the 8vo plates, except those which belong to Suppl., Pts. 4-8 as original issues, are unknown. The present copy lacks Suppl., Pts. 7 and 8, with the included plates. The gap is filled by the corresponding parts of the original edition (q.v.) which are identical with those missing here. 'The plates in Vol. IV, Pts. 2-4 and Suppl., Pts. 1-3 in the original copy collated above belong to the present edition, being substitutes for the folio plates which are missing from that copy. They are duplicated in the present copy. 1926. CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 459 Immediately after the completion of the present book, J. F.

A complete natural history of the birds of Germany. While entitled "J. A. Nau- mann's Naturgeschichte," etc., the work is quite distinct from J. A. Naumann's work, "Naturgeschichte der Land- und Wasser-Vogel des nordlichen Deutsch- lands und angranzender Lander" of 1795-1817 (q.v.)., although the earlier book laid the foundations for the later one. A few of the plates are the same but most of them have been remodeled and many of them entirely redrawn while other new ones have been added. The volumes seem to have been issued regularly as indicated by the printed dates on the title-pages, except Vol. XIII. This volume, consisting entirely of supplementary notes and discussions, was begun by Naumann and issued in parts. Interrupted by Naumann's death in 1857, it was then completed by Blasius, Baldamus and Sturm. There is considerable uncertainty about the dates and composition of the earlier parts. Judging from changes in typography, irregularities in signature marks, the appearance of new works in the synonymic references, and such other criteria, the follow- ing division seems probable.

The colored plates of eggs were painted by Naumann. In 1860, a so-called second edition was published by Furchtegott Grassner under the title of "Die Vogel Deutschlands und ihre Eier" (q.v.), but in reality this is a distinct work.

The texture of the paper on p. 135 and the pages immediately following appears to be slightly different from that of the preceding pages, indicating a possible separation in dates of printing or publication.

A voluminous report, containing descriptions of the plumages, eggs and nesting habits of supposedly all the birds found breeding in Australia and Tasmania; partly original and partly compiled from correspondence, published notes, etc. Unfortunately, many published records were ignored, making the work less complete than it would otherwise have been. H. L. White (Emu, 15, pp. 57-65, i9 J 5) gives a list of omissions. Plates "A" are of nests; "B" are of eggs. The work appeared in 17 parts, the dates and contents of which are given in the introductory pages of the various volumes (p. Ill of Vols. I-III; p. II of Vol. I). These dates are correct but omit to mention the introductory matter of the volumes. In the cases of Vols. II-IV, the introductory matter is dated the same month as that given for the issue of the last part in each of those volumes. In Vol. I, the introduction is dated October, 1904 but the last part of that volume is dated July 1 1 . Possibly the introductory matter formed a final (separate) part; if so it would bring the total number of parts in all volumes to 18.

A popular account of the birds of Holland, illustrated by hand-colored plates of all of the species, and of the nests and eggs of some of them. The birds and their habits are described in detail. It appears to be the first comprehensive work on the ornithology of the region. It was begun by Nozeman, who died in 1789, and was taken up by Houttuyn who completed the work. The dates on the title-pages appear to be accurate, but Blaauw, in "Notes from the Leyden Museum," Vol. XV, p. 185, 1893, cites the dates as follows, 1770, 1789, 1812, 1826 and 1829, a discrepancy of 15 and 17 years, respectively, in Volumes III and IV. No particulars are given and the citations may be in error. The work is sometimes quoted as Nozeman and Sepp. Nuttall, Thomas. 1832-34.

The appendix, by Rhoads, contains annotations relative to the foregoing text. Osbeck, Pehr. (Georgi, Johann Gottlieb; Toreen, Olof; Eckeberg, Carl Gustav.) 1765.

The work appeared in four parts, dates for which are printed on the reverse of the title-page, but these dates as well as that on the title-page are unreliable. Dr. C. E. Hellmayr has kindly furnished me with the list of the contents of each part, obtained from a copy of Pts. I-III in original covers which is pre- served in the Museum Heineanum in Halberstadt. The dates on these original covers agree with the dates on the reverse of the title-page of the volume. The following notes are available. Pt. I (pp. 1-68, 3 pr. 11., pp. I-XXXI and the route map) bears the date 1868 but the preface is dated September 1867 and the part was noticed in the Journal fur Ornithologie for September 1867, although this number of the Journal may not have appeared until 1868; it is likewise mentioned by Sclater and Salvin in a paper read before the Zoological Society of London on January 23, 1868, although this paper was not published 1926. CATALOGUE OF AYER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 487 until the following year in the Proceedings for 1868, p. 55. Part I, therefore, must remain dated 1868 with a strong probability that it was actually pub- lished in 1867. Pt. II (pp. 69-188 and XXXIII-XLIII) is dated 1869 but was presented to the Deutsche Ornith. Gesellschaft at a meeting held on October 6, 1868; furthermore, the publishers have advised Dr. Hellmayr that the part was published in late September of that year. Pt. Ill (pp. 189-390, XLV-LIX and regional map) is dated 1870 and was presented to the Deutsche Ornith. Gesellschaft at a meeting held on February i of that year. Pt. IV (pp. 391- 462, i-i8=addenda and index, and title-page) is dated 1870 and was pre- sented to the Deutsche Ornith.

A descriptive account of the birds and mammals of Great Britain. Issued in four parts from 1761 to 1766 with the 107 plates (9 of mammals and 92 of birds) as specified on the title-page. To this a fifth part was added later with 25 additional plates (2 of mammals and 23 of birds), making 132 plates in all (n of mammals and 121 of birds). Most of the plates are by Paillou. This, the original edition, was anonymous; the author's name appeared on the title- page for the first time in the 5th edition (according to Coues), but occurred at the end of the preface in earlier ones (Cf. 4th edition, 1776-77.).

The first number of a projected work on Indian zoology which, in this form and edition, was abandoned after the issue of the first part, here collated. The plates, including three unpublished ones, were presented to Johann Reinhold Forster who used them in his "Zoologia Indica" or "Indische Zoologie" (Cf. Latham and Da vies, Faunula Indica, 1795.). A second edition of the present work (q.v.), including a translation of Forster 's additions to it, appeared in 1790. The material for the present work is said to have originated in notes and drawings made in India by John Gideon Loten. PI. I is mammalogical; the remainder are ornithological. See J. A. Allen, Bull.

London. The second edition. According to the author's note, the work was written in 1772 and presented (for use in classwork) to Dr. Robert Ramsay who published the first edition in 1773, without plates. The work consists of a general discus- sion of ornithology, followed by diagnoses of 95 genera under English names. The Latin names are given in the synonymy of each genus and in a table of classification (pp. XXII-XXV), to which someone has added, in manuscript, the page-references. It seems to have been the original intention to figure an example of each genus, but the appearance of Latham's "General Synopsis of Birds," 1781-85 (q.v.), discouraged the project, as noted on p. 57.

Originally intended as a sketch of the zoology of North America but later altered to include descriptions of the quadrupeds and birds of the northern parts of Europe and Asia. Vol. I contains the introduction, with its account of the north- ern regions and incidental mention of birds and other animals, and the detailed discussion of the mammals. Vol. II is entirely ornithological. No binomial names are used, except in the synonymy, but the full descriptions of new (and other) forms formed the basis for Latin names subsequently applied by Gmelin and Latham. In 1787 a supplementary volume was issued, often cited as Vol. Ill of the complete work. Later editions were published in English and German. Pennant, Thomas.

A reprint of Pennant's original "Indian Zoology," 1769 (q.v.), with a translation of certain matter which was added by Forster in his Latin-German edition of 1781 (Cf. Latham and Davies, Faunula Indica, 1795. ), and a list of oriental and near-oriental animals, entitled, "The Indian Faunula." Pages 1-12 contain a translation of "An Essay on India" by Forster; pp. 13-27, "On the Birds of Paradise and the Phoenix," also by Forster. Pp. 27-56 contain the descriptions of the birds, fishes and the single mammal figured on the sixteen plates. Pll. VII, IX, XIV and XVI are new to this edition of Pennant being taken from Forster. "The Indian Faunula" occupies pp. 57-161 (67-86 ornithological), and is credited by Pennant to Latham (for the portion on insects) and Davies (for the remainder). The names of the mammals and birds are given only in English, but to the remainder of the species Latin binomials are assigned. The "Faunula" was reprinted by Forster, with some additions and with Latin names for the birds and mammals, in his second (1795) edition of his work. The present copy has the plates colored (rare thus), and has the flyleaf inscribed, "To the honorable Sir William Jones this book is presented as a small mark of the esteem in which the character of Sir William is held by his most obedient servant Thomas Pennant London March 27th. 1792."

The work appears to have been issued in four parts, but I am unable to distinguish each part. At the meeting of the Deutsche Ornithologische Gesellschaft on May 5, 1884, the first lieferung (probably with 2 pll.) was presented. At the meeting on Sep- tember i, 1884, 2 parts (embracing lieferungen 2 to 16 and 12 pll.) were pre- sented. The Ibis for January 1885 reviews three parts of the work (including pp. 1-480 (?) and pll. I-XVI). The entire work was reviewed by Madarasz in the "Zeitschr.f.d.Gesammte Ornith." for January 1885; the preface of the work is dated August 1884 and the title-page, 1884; so the final work probably appeared near the close of the year 1884. Pages 588 and 589 contain a first supplement to the work. The second supplement was published in the "Journ. f. Orn." XXXIII Jahrg., pp. 74-81, 1885. The third and fourth supplements were published in the "Ornis" for 1887, pp. 457-500; and 1890, pp. 400-441, respectively. A reprint of the fourth supplement, paged 1-43, is inserted in the present copy, together with a portrait of Radde extracted from the "Orni- thologische Monatschrift, Vol. XII, 1903.

The subject matter consists of a review of the birds of the world, with brief descriptions, notes on distribution and habits, vernacular names, and other such matter. The volume was intended to form one of a series of which at least one other part (on "La Lithologie, la Conchyliologie et la Zo- omorphose," by Ant. Jos. Dezollier d'Argenville) was issued, in 1742-57. The interleaved plates from the Sonnini edition of Buffon's "Histoire Naturelle," 180005 (q-v.) are extraneous. Rea, Paul Marshall. 1910.

The text at hand consists of a list of the figures on the plates, (1-408, Schwimmvogel; 417-731, Sumpfvogel), with vernacular and scientific names and the habitats of the species. The plates are missing. In general, the numbering of the figures as indicated in the text shows no affinity to that of the figures in the "Vollstandigste Naturgeschichte," but in a few cases (Alba- trosses and Flamingoes), the numbering agrees and points to a probability that some of the figures of the present work were adapted for use in its successor.

Vogel.] (n vols.) demy 4to, royal, superroyal and imperial 8vo. 1028 pll. (922 col.). Under the above title are grouped various parts of a detailed, comprehensive work which was issued under a variety of cover-titles at irregular intervals in a most confusing manner. The entire work is extremely puzzling as to arrange- ment and method of appearance and I can find no complete and accurate colla- tion of the various components. As nearly as I can decide from available material and references, the history of the work is somewhat as follows. The book started as "Der Naturfreund, oder praktisch-gemeinnutzige Naturgeschichte des In- und Auslandes," 1834-43. Of this early work, two parts are present in the set at hand (Cf. Praktisch-gemeinnutz. Naturg. der Vogel, 1836-?). In 1884, the title was changed and the work continued (or begun anew) as quoted above. Several numbers of plates were issued under subtitles of "Die Vollstandigste Naturgeschichte der Schwimmvogel [Sumpf- vogel], etc., 1845-48 (q.v.), shortly thereafter followed by installments of text. At first, the text consisted merely of a "Synopsis Avium" or list of species containing references to the illustrations. These synopses were continued for five groups of birds, the Natatores to the Gallinaceae, and were considered as Nos. I-III of a series, although I and II are not actually so numbered. They were issued in 1847 and 1848. The series of plates includes many not discussed in the "Synopsis" (apparently being of later issue), and to discuss these, a 506 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. leaflet called, "Novitiae ad Synopsin Avium", Nos. IV-VII (VI being missing from the present set) was issued from time to time in 1850 and 1851. At the close of each number of this "Novitiae," is a summary of the plates published to date in the respective groups of birds, arranged according to classification, with necessary interpolations. In the meantime a series of uncolored plates of anatomical details was pub- lished in four parts in 1849 and 1850 under the title of "Avium Systema Natur- ale," without accompanying text. The text appeared in 1853 as Lieferung 3 of the "Handbuch" (mentioned below). In 1851 the plates were continued, be- ginning with the Alcedineae and running through the Picinae but excluding the Trochilinae. There were five fasciculi of these plates, each of which was accompanied (or shortly followed) by a descriptive text entitled, "Handbuch der Speciellen Ornithologie." The various parts of this text were each prefixed by a list of species, with plate-references, entitled "Incones ad Synopsin Avium/' sometimes paged with the text, sometimes unpaged, and numbered VIII-XII in continuation of the "Synopsis" and "Novitiae." The original wrappers of these parts are marked as Lieferungen i, 2, 4, 5 and 6. Lief. 3 comprised the text of the "Avium Systema Naturele" and 8 is said to have been the first portion of the special text relating to the pigeons (mentioned later); 7 and other numbers subsequent to 8, if any, I can not trace. The five parts properly belonging here are dated from 1851-1854. Following the Picinae, the plates of the Trochilinae appeared from 1855 to 1857, but, instead of the regular text, a revision of a former brief paper by the author was published with the first of the plates in 1855, under the title of "Trochilinarum Enumeratio;" this serves as the only available letterpress for the plates of this group. The pigeons, already briefly treated in the "Synopsis" and "Novitiae VI" were taken up in detail in a special paper called, "Die vollstandigste Naturge- schichte der Tauben," of which the first part was issued in 1861 as Lief. 3 of the "Handbuch." A second part, with 9 new plates, appeared as Lief. 9 and 10 of the "Central Atlas" but it was paged in continuance of the first part. The portions of the first part of the volume which deal with the Curassows and Guans (pp. 129 pt. -160) appear to have been issued also in another form as Lief, i and 5 of the "Central Atlas." This "Central Atlas" seems to have been a medium for producing miscellaneous addenda to the earlier parts of the book and contains a number of papers on Mammalia belonging to Abtheilung I of the entire work. Lieferungen i, 5, 9 and 10 have been mentioned. Lief. ..6-8, 11-13 and 17-19 were issued in 1862 and 1863 and contained a descriptive account of "Die Singvogel" (as far as completed) with 51 plates, separately numbered. Two other titles are sometimes considered as part of the above general work, the "Deutschlands Vogel," 1842, and "Die Vogel Neuhollands," 1845-50. Both seem to have been issued also separately, the former as part of "Deutsch- land Fauna"; the latter, at least, utilized the plates of the larger work. In the volume on Natatores examined, there are 8 leaves of text relating to pll. 1-14 as finally arranged, which I am unable to place satisfactorily (Cf. Die vollst. Naturg. der Schwimmvogel.). The plates exhibit a multiplicity of styles of numbering which I have discussed under the separate portions of the work where they appear. Detailed collation of the various sections may be found under the following heads. 1926. CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 507 1836-? Praktisch-gemeinnutzige Naturgeschichte der Vogel. 1845-48.

The plates of the Natatores to Gallinaceae are found under the above-quoted engraved title-pages. There appear to be several styles of issue represented here. Some of the plates are of full size on heavy paper; others are smaller on a poorer quality of paper, some of these being remounted on larger, heavy paper to agree with the rest of the set. The only text for most of these plates is found in the "Synopsis Avium" and the "Novitiae ad Synopsin Avium," 1847-48 and 1850-51 (q.v.). The Columbariae are further treated in "Die Vollstandigste Naturgeschichte der Tauben," 1861-62 (q.v.). A few of the plates of the Gallinaceae seem to belong to a separate issue entitled, "Die Haushuhner, 1848? (q.v.). The numbering of the plates is very confusing. Throughout the entire series (except the plates of "Die Singvogel," the "Avium Systema Naturale" 508 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. XVI. and a few others) each plate bears a serial number in the upper right-hand cor- ner. This serial number runs from I to DCCCLV and seems to indicate, in a measure, the order of preparation of the plates. From the Natatores to the Gallinaceae, it is the number used for reference in the "Synopsis Avium." 1 Some of the plates carry a "Suppl." number in the middle of the upper mar- gin. This number indicates the position of these plates as they are to be inter- polated in the series; the plates marked in this way were probably prepared correspondingly later than most of the regular series, judging by the higher numbers given to the individual figures of birds on them. The "Suppl." number, however, is not used for any reference in the text. A further set of the plates of the Natatores Gallinaceae have a third num- ber, prefixed by "Novit." in the upper left-hand corner. These plates are not discussed in the "Synopsis" and appear to have been issued after the publica- tion of the corresponding portions of that pamphlet. On the middle of the upper margin of these plates there is still a different number with a qualifying letter (such as XXXb, XIa, etc.), indicating the position of each plate in the primary series. These plates are discussed (with a few exceptions) in the "Novitiae" where all three of their numbers are used for reference. In addition to the above enumerations, a table is given at the close of each number of the "Novitiae," showing the final arrangement of all the plates issued to date in the respective portions of the work and assigning an Arabic numeral (sometimes qualified by a letter) to each plate. These Arabic numerals are placed, or it is requested that they be placed, at the bottom of the plates in question, where sometimes they may be found in the series from the Natatores to the Gallinaceae. In the descriptive text to the Columbariae, they are used as reference-numbers. With the exception of the additional plates of "Die Haushuhner" and of the Columbariae, they may be checked by the lists in the various numbers of the "Novitiae." With the further exceptions of ma, i nb and igjb (=391) and lacking 278-280, they are continuous throughout this series. The dates of the plates are not definitely ascertainable, but as only those of the Natatores which are treated in the first number of the "Synopsis" are named on the plates, most of the dates are unimportant. The work appeared in livraisons of about 10 pll. each as is indicated by notes in some of the numbers of the "Synopsis": Natatores, Grallatores and Fulicariae et Rallariae (I-CXX- IX), 13 livrs.; Columbariae (CXX-CLXXVIII), 5 livrs. ; Gallinaceae (CLXXIX -CCLXIII), 12 (?) livrs. Assuming that the plates discussed in the "Novitiae" (but not in the "Synopsis") appeared after the "Synopsis," the inclusive dates may be indicated thus (after data from Meyer's "Index zu L. Reichenbach's Orn. Werken"). Natatores, Febr. 20, 1845- (post) 1848. Grallatores, June 3, 1846- (post) 1848. Fulicariae and Rallariae, Dec. 30, 1846- (post) 1848. Colum- bariae (pll. 220-277), June 16, 1848. Gallinaceae (pll. 281-390), June 16, 1848. At the beginning of the volume on Natatores there are 8 leaves of text relat- ing to pll. 1-4 as finally arranged; since certain "Novitiae" plates are included these leaves must date after the "Synopsis I." This text I am unable to place in its proper position as regards publication. The pages are the full size of the 'Pll. I and III of the original series appear to have been cancelled since those numbers do not agree with the list in the "Synopsis." They were replaced by I and la (for I) and CCCXLIV (for III) discussed in the "Novitiae" (Cf. infra.). 1926.

The Trochilinae should have begun in Lief. 5 but were deferred until later, being issued eventually without other text than the "Trochilinarum enumeratio," 1855-57 (q-v.). A few of them may have constituted Lief. 7. Lief. 8 appears to have consisted of the first part of "Die Vollstandigste Naturgeschichte der Tauben," 1861-62 (q.v.).

CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 511 different section of the work. Plates adjacent to the original position of these transferred numbers carry an inscription indicating the consequent hiatus in the continuity of the series at these points. These plates deal entirely with the details of heads, feet, wings and tails of birds, illustrating the various genera and forming a sort of introduction to the author's "Die Vollstandigste Naturgeschichte," 1845-63 (q.v.). They were possibly issued as cited in the titles but are grouped in nine sections, each under a special, engraved subtitle as follows. Natatores, pll. I-X, Grallatores, pll. XI-XVIII; Rasores, pll. XIX-XXXII; Insessores Investigatores, pll. XXXIII- LI; Insessores Trepidatores, pll. LII-LXXI; Insessores Enucleatores, pll. LXXII-LXXXVI; Insessores Raptatores, pll. LXXVII-C. The text, whose preface is dated October i, 1852, contains a general review of the classification of birds, with a systematic catalogue of genera and typical species, but includes only the Natatores to Gallinaceae; apparently it was never completed. It was issued as Lieferung 3 of the "Handbuch der Speciellen Ornithologie," 1851-54 (q.v.), but is paged separately and has no direct connection with that title except as both are parts of the same general work.

No other text appeared for the hummingbirds. The plates (according to A. B. Meyer's "Index zu L. Reichenbach's Orn. Werken," 1879) appeared from July 18, 1855 to January 12, 1857; the text on July 18, 1855. The plates are numbered consecutively without interruption from DCLXXIX to DCCCLV. 1926.

Pp. 1-128 appear to have been issued regularly in 1861 but regarding the rest of the first part of this volume there is some uncertainty. In footnotes to pp. 3 and 4 of "Die Singvogel," 1862-63 (q.v.), the statements are made that the genus Penelope was specially treated in Pt. V of the "Central Atlas" and that Pt. I of the same dealt with the Hoccos (Curassows). In the present volume, the Curassows occupy pp. 129 (pt.)-i4i (pt.), and Penelope with its allies, pp. 141 (pt.)-i6o, agreeing with the number of pages for Pts. I and V of the "Central Atlas" as catalogued by the British Museum (Natural History). As exhibited by the copy at hand, however, the letterpress for these two groups is inseparable from the rest of the volume and indivisible on account of overlapping text and signatures, so the same reading matter may have been issued both as part of the present volume and as Pts. I and V of the "Central Atlas." A review in the Ibis for October 1861, p. 405, announces the complete account of the Columbariae, including the family Cracidae, as appearing in the eighth Lief- erung of the "Handbuch der speciellen Ornithologie," which would imply that the whole of the first part came out entire. According to a footnote on p. 205 of Pt. II of the present work, pll. 2?2b and 2?3b appeared with the "Central Atlas" No. i, but they are discussed, not in the text on the Curassaos in Pt. I, but in Pt. II. Pt. II, with pll. "Novit." I-VII and VIII-IX ( = 2 7 ib and ayic), appeared later, in 1862, as Nos. IX and X of the "Central-Atlas." Reichenbach, Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig. 1861-63.

Most of the ornithology is by Hahn whose name appears alone on the subtitle-page. The general text (unpaged) consists of descriptions and discussions of the various species which are figured on the plates. Most of the signatures are signed by Hahn, many are unsigned, and at least one is followed by Reider's name. A general review of the contents is given on the numbered pages in Vol. I, where the plates, themselves un- numbered, are catalogued as if numbered in sequence from i to 182. The nomenclature of this review is not consistent with that of the general text nor that of the plates, nor do the text and plates always agree in this respect.

An important work on the birds of North America north of the forty-eighth paral- lel. Detailed descriptions are given, with synonymy and critical remarks, and there are lengthy discussions (by Swainson) on the Quinary System of classifi- cation with relation to the species treated or in general. The authorship is divided. In general Swainson is responsible for the classification and synonymy and Richardson for the actual descriptions, with most of Swainson's contribu- tions further identified by his subjoined initial. Some of the new names are by one author, some by the other, and the remainder by both, as stated in each instance. The plates are by Swainson. The work exists, also, with uncolored plates. The date on the title-page is 1831, but Richmond (Auk, 1899, p. 327) gives February, 1832 as the correct date. The work is first mentioned in the Magazine of Natural History for March 1832 (p. 186), as having been pub- lished in 1831, and it is reviewed in the same periodical for May, 1832 (pp. 360- 364), as having appeared in 1832. Swainson, himself, in his "On the Natural History and Classification of Birds" in Lardner's "Cabinet Cyclopaedia," Vol. I, p. 218, 1836-37 (q.v.), cites the work under date of 1831 as "i vol. in 2 parts." If the latter statement is not misleading (on account of the entire ornithological volume forming the second part of the "Fauna"), it is possible that a Pt. I of the "Birds" (limits unknown) was issued in 1831, and the re- mainder in 1832. I can find no confirmation of the statement by Swainson. The work is sometimes quoted as "Northern Zoology." In a portion of Swain- son's controversy with Vigors, in a letter written October i, 1831 and published in the Mag. Nat. Hist. 4, p. 483 (Nov., 1831), Swainson refers the reader to "North. Zoology, vol. ii, p. 315," saying that, "I have there, long ago, spoken," etc. This implies, but does not prove, that p. 483 of the work in question had been published at least by the ist of October, 1831. Robert Jameson, in his edition of Wilson's "American Ornithology," 1831 (q.v.), 4 pp. 244-362, gives some extracts from the proof sheets of the present work intermixed with selec- tions from other authors and personal remarks of his own. It is possible that these pages from Jameson antedate the publication of the present work. Richardson, John; and Gray, John Edward. (Gray, George Robert; Sharpe, Richard Bowdler.) 1844-75.

The zoological report of the expedition of the Erebus and Terror to New Zealand and Antarctic regions. The section on birds (pp. 1-39 of Vol. I) consists of a report on the birds of New Zealand by G. R. Gray and an appendix to the same prepared by R. B. Sharpe. Gray's original paper was published in parts (as was all of the work) at dates which are not all definitely known. Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. I, p. XLIX, 1922) cites pp. 1-8, 1844; and 9-20, 1845. To this, Mathews (Birds of Australia, Suppl. 4, Pt. I, p. 61, 1925) adds from Newton and Pucheran (references not given) the information that pp. 9-12 were issued in Pt. IX in June 1845, and 17-20 with pi. 21 in Oct. 1845. Pp. 21-39 and pll. i, 7, 20*, 27, 29, 30, 31 and 32 are cited in the Zoological Record for 1875, being the portion published by Sharpe. A complete list of the plates issued originally, and those issued with the appendix, is given by Sharpe on pp. 38-39 of the present work, Vol. I. A new title-page, or subtitle, is supplied for the ornithology (and similarly for most of the other sections of the work). This differs from the general title-page in the date, here given as "M.DCCC.XLVL- M.DCCC.LXXV.", and in lines 13 and 14 of the original which are here re- placed by the following 6 lines, "Birds. | By | George Robert Gray, F.R.S..&C., | and | R.

As presented, the work consists of a series of separately paged monographs of different groups. As will be noted, Vol. VII deals with mammals ; all the remaining volumes except IX (Index) are ornithological. Numerous new species are described. Vol. IX (Index) is by Jentink and Vol. I, pp. 1-98 (Buccones) is by Goffin; the remainder of the work, as here collated, is by Schlegel. More recently, in 1907, Vol. X has been published, consisting of a catalogue of avian fossils by E. D. van Oort. This volume is not in the series at hand. The work appeared in 14 livraisons (excluding Vol. X). Each mono- graph is dated separately on its initial page but the dates appear to be those of the completion of the manuscript or of printing, not of publication, al- though they sometimes furnish approximate dates for the livraisons in which they appeared. The approximate dates and the contents of the various livraisons are as follows. Livr.

On the return of the expedition, Sabine declined to furnish any report on the grounds of lack of ability and knowledge of any branch of natural history except ornithology, yet he published "A Memoir on the Birds of Greenland" (Trans.

CATALOGUE OF AVER LIBRARY ZIMMER. 535 The zoology of Ruppell's journey in northern Africa and the district of the Red Sea from 1822-27. According to Engelmann, the work appeared in 20 parts. The ornithological portion was written by Cretzschmar and contains descrip- tions of the species of birds (some of them new), all of which are illustrated on the 36 colored plates in this section of the work. The subtitle of this section bears the date 1826 but Ruppell, in his "Neue Wirbelthiere," p. 50, quotes pi. 28 of the present work under date of 1827. In the Zoological Journal, IV, p. 385, (for Oct. 1828 to Jan. 1829), Pts. I-VIII of the work are reviewed in detail. The eight numbers are credited with six plates each, including some plates belonging to other non-ornithological sections of the work; their orni- thological contents embrace pp. 1-38 and pll. 1-25. A second "Abtheilung" was intended to contain the geography of the expedition, but was never issued as such; the "Reisen in Nubien," etc., 1829, and the "Voyage dans 1'Afrique et en Nubie" 1826 et seq., appear to constitute the equivalent.

The work appears to have been issued in 13 Lieferungen (according to the preface) during the years 1835 to 1840. A review, in the Magazine of Zoology and Botany, i, No. Ill, p. 275, 1846 (after Aug. 25), records 6 parts issued at intervals of three months beginning January i, 1835. Two ornithological parts are included in this review, embracing pll. 1-12 and pp. 1-32. On p. 109 of the Mag. Zool. Bot. I, No. i, 1837, is the statement that each of the first four fasciculi was devoted to a separate section of the subject, so that part i of the birds (pp. 1-16 and pll. 1-6) seems to be properly dated 1835. Part 2 of the birds is probably referable to 1836. Page 81 must have been published in or after March I837 1 ; p. 94 in or after :838 2 ; and p. 99 in or after 1839*.

This work was issued, 1839-61, in two editions, Spanish and French, the former probably the earlier although both bear the same dates on the respective parts. Engelmann divides the publication into 75 livraisons and quotes the mammals and birds in one volume (as above) as well as in two volumes, separately. The ornithological portion, by d'Orbigny, dates from 1839. Probably only 32 plates (I-XXXI and XIX bis) were issued originally; the list of plates in the Atlas tabulates only these and there is evidence that the final plate of eggs (pi. XXXII) was not issued until 1843 (Cf. Sagra, Album d'Oiseaux de Cuba.).

The text appears to consist of a very general discussion of the rich variety of Cuban bird-life, followed by a synoptic list of species supposedly copied from d'Orbigny's arrangement in de la Sagra's "Histoire Physique, Politique et Naturelle de 1'Ile de Cuba, Ornithologie," 1839-40 (q.v.). As printed in the present book, the list presents a great number of changes from the original, most of the changes being alterations in spelling, two of them being changes of genera, but probably all of them being due to errors in copying. The authorship is in doubt, but, presumably, the entire work was arranged by the publishers. In the latter part of the text the announce- ment is made of the present issue of an album consisting of the ornithological plates from the "Histoire," together with an additional plate of eggs (=pl. XXXII) drawn from specimens received by Baron Delessert from Jose" Ramon de la Paz Morejon. The album in which this letterpress is bound contains plates of both mammals and birds, prefaced by the same list of contents as in the original "Histoire." The title-page is reprinted with certain alterations; the vignette is redrawn; the word, 'Atlas,' is in plain, instead of ornamental, type; a line of print is withdrawn from above the last line on the page, and the address of the publisher is given as "Rue Hautefeuille 21" instead of "23," while general typographical changes are apparent throughout. The plates appear to be from the same copperplates except that the first of both mammals and birds bears the signature, "N R6mond imp. r. Vieille-Estrapade, 15, Paris." instead of "Bougeard imp." as on the originals and on all the remainder in the present issue. The coloration of the plates presents numerous variations from that of the examples of the original at hand. Saint-Hilaire, Alexandra Bourjot. See Bourjot Saint-Hilaire, A.

It consists of technical des- criptions and classification taken from Baird ("Pacific Railroad Surveys," Vol. IX, 1858), and general discussions of the species largely extracted from Wilson, Nuttall and Audubon, with some original matter. William Couper supplied notes on the occurrence and distribution of certain species in Quebec, on pp. 80-81, 368-372, 396, 477-478 and 571-573, as in the first edition (Cf. Coues.). An appendix, not in the original edition, is added on pp. 575-578 to include a few species recorded by various authors but not mentioned in the body of the work. The illustrations are from various sources. Those of the eggs were prepared by M. M. Tidd and Nathan Brown; the frontispiece and most of the unnumbered plates (one of which is an uncolored copy of the frontispiece) are copied from Audubon. The book passed through a number of editions under various titles, at least three of which were issued in 1883. Cf. Samuels, The Birds of New England, 1883, and Our Northern and Eastern Birds, 1883.

A handbook of non-technical information relative to British birds, considered by some reviewers to be the best work of its kind ever published on British birds. It forms, in effect, a condensed "Yarrell," of the fourth edition of which (1871-85, q.v.) Saunders was part editor. Each of 367 species is briefly de- scribed and its distribution, breeding habits and claims for recognition as British are discussed in accounts restricted to two pages. Most of the species are figured by woodcuts taken largely from the drawings by E. Neale in YarrelTs "History of British Birds," 1837-43 (q.v.), with the addition of some new ones by G. E. Lodge and J. G. Keulemans. The preface contains the diagnostic characters of the various genera arranged in the order of classification adopted in the general text. An appendix supplies additional notes on certain species from information secured, apparently, after the work was in press. The present copy is from the library, and contains the bookplate of, J. Lewis Bon- hote, whose manuscript notes are pencilled through the volume. There is added, also, a fragment of a letter, apparently from Mrs. Leverton of Truro, regarding a certain specimen mentioned in the text (Bartram's Sandpiper).

Of the same general plan as the first edition, 1889 (q.v.), the present work has been largely rewritten to bring the subject matter to date, although still, with a single exception, keeping to the limits of two pages for each species. Numerous species are added, bringing the total to 384, with a consequent increase in the number of woodcuts. Savi, Adolfo. 1873. See Savi, Paolo, Ornitologia Italiana, 1873-76. Savi, Paolo. 1827-31.

(text) and 10 vols. (Atlas) from 1809-30. The present portion appeared originally in the first livraison (on pp. 63-114) in 1809, according to a footnote on p. 3 of Savigny 's "Observations sur le Systeme des Oiseaux de 1'Egypte et de la Syrie," 1811 (q.v.)- The "Observations" and the present work are bound in one volume in the copy at hand. The present title embraces the systematic arrangement of some Egyptian and Syrian birds (27 species of birds of prey), with diagnoses of species and groups, and extensive synonymy. The plates are much more comprehensive than the text and of most of them no mention is made by Savigny, although they were destined for inclusion in portions of the work which he was unable to complete through failure of his eyesight. The descrip- tion of the species figured on the plates was afterwards undertaken by Audoin, who, in 1826, published his "Explication Sommaire des Planches d'Oiseaux de 1'figypte et de la Syrie" (q.v.) in Part 4 of Vol. I of the Hist.

XVI. A lengthy dissertation in justification of the author's views expressed in his "Systeme des Oiseaux de 1'figypte et de la Syrie," 1810 (q.v.). Although marked as a supplement to the "Description de 1'figypte," this contribution does not appear to form an integral part of that extensive work and is not included in the collation of it given by the British Museum (Natural History) nor in Sherborn's anaylsis of the dates of publication of the natural history portions of the work (in Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1897, p. 285). It is not men- tioned in "A Bibliographic Account and Collation of La Description de 1'figypte" (printed for, but marked as not published by, the London Institu- tion in 1838) nor can I find it in a copy of the complete work in the John Crerar Library, Chicago. The preface is dated December 5, 1810 but the imprint at the bottom of p. 16 is 1811. With the present copy is bound the reprint of the "Systeme des Oiseaux," collated elsewhere. If the latter is also distinct from the complete "Description de 1'figypte" it may have been issued with the present paper as part of the "Supplement," but I am inclined to think otherwise.

The work was published in 21 Lieferungen of 6 pll. each with accompanying text. The first three Lieferungen appeared in 1846, (noted by Engelmann), the eighth in 1851 (probably late April or May; see below) and the last in 1853 (noted by Cams and Engelmann), although the title-page bears the date 1854.

XVI. but the last half of the part could not have been issued before September 1849 since on p. 15 there is a reference to a specimen taken during that month and year. The third edition of the A.O.U. Check-List of North American Birds, under Falco mexicanus, cites the date as 1850, but Sherborn (Index Animalium, Sect. 2, Pt. i, p. CXIII, 1922) gives dates for the whole work as "1841, 1843, 1851," thus agreeing, apparently with Cams and Engelmann. Schlegel, Hermann. 1844.

A general work on the birds of Holland, with short descriptions, synonymy and an account of the distribution of each of the species. A systematic list of species follows (pp. 617-642) with references to pages of text and to plates. An index (pp. 643-694), a short bibliography (pp. 695-699) and a list of errata complete the volume. The plates have been bound in two volumes with the half-title inserted in one and the title in the other. The figures are well-drawn and pleasing. The work was originally issued in 45 parts from 1854 to 1858 under the title of "Fauna van Nederlands Vogels," by H. S. Schlegel and J. H. Herklots, being intended as part of a comprehensive work on the fauna of the country. The plan was discontinued before more than the birds were treated, and the original publisher, Trap, sold the entire edition to van Goor who issued it (according to Cams and Engelmann) in 1859 with a new title-page (as above) and with a preface by Schlegel dated December 24, 1858. The original Pts. 1-7 are acknowledged in the Journ. fur Orn. for July 1855; 8-46, I.e. for March 1860; entire work reviewed, I.e. for Sept. 1862. This work is not to be con- fused with the author's ornithological volume, also dated 1860, of the "Natuur- lijke Historie van Nederland," (q.v.). Schlegel, Hermann; and Westermann, G. F. 1860.

The volume forms part of a more comprehensive series on the natural history of Holland. The date of publica- tion is not unquestioned. Carus and Engelmann list only 2 parts (pp. "VI, XXXII, 128"), while Cabanis (Journal fur Orn., April 1860) acknowledges the receipt of i part; Taschenberg does not record the remainder of the volume, but, instead, catalogues a second edition of the whole natural history under dates of 1867-69, published by G. L. Funke, Amsterdam. The John Crerar Library, Chicago, has a copy of the volume on birds, published by Funke in 1868, which is evidently of this second edition. Pagination and plates are as in the first edition. I can find no record of the concluding portions of the first edition of the birds, but Snouckaert van Schauburg (Avifauna Neerlandica, 1908, q.v.) cites all portions of the volume as of 1860, which is probably correct. The Cat. Libr. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) cites a "Tweede Druck" (which must be a third edition, instead) published in Haarlem in 1878. There is also "De Vogels van Nederland" (q.v.) dated, likewise, 1860, but probably published the year before. Schlegel, Hermann. 1862-81.

Synonymy, Latin diagnoses and an account of variations, relationships, habits, etc., are given for each species, all but four of which are figured on excellent plates. The work was published in four parts, of the extent and dates of which I am uncertain. The copy at hand contains four original wrappers, but they are all alike, undated and with the part-number inserted by hand. A prospectus of the work announces the publication at short intervals of four parts, each to contain about twelve plates and the corresponding letterpress. The preface is dated December i, 1857 although Carus and Engelmann give 1858. There is a break suggested between pp. 64 and 84 where signature 'F' contains 10 11. instead of the ordin- ary 8 11. Sclater himself, in the Ibis, 1876, p. 407, says he published the work in 1858, but this may refer only to the last part; in the Ibis, 1863, p. 450 he says the work was completed in December 1857, but this may refer only to the manuscript.

I and II in Journ. fur Orn. for May, 1861 ; III- VIII, Sept. 1861 ; IX-X and XI-XII, Jan. 1862; XHI-XVI, March 1862; and XVH-XXIII with introductory matter, Sept. 1862. Coues says, "Some copies of the sheets were distributed as printed." The author, as reviewer for the Ibis, in the Ibis for 1862, p. 379, calls the work a "lately completed 'Catalogue' " and does not give a date. Trubner and Co., on the wrapper of the Ibis for July and October, 1862, advise that "Only 100 copies of the perfect work have been prepared." The evidence seems to point to the issue of signs. I-XII (pp. 1-192) at various dates in 1861, approaching the dates of printing, and of the remainder of the volume at various periods in 1862. Copies without plates are also in existence.

At the end of many of the articles there is given a summary of the congeneric species in America. The hand-colored plates are excellent. The work was planned originally, as may be suggested by the title, to include new and interesting birds from the whole of the world, but was later restricted to America south of the United States. The book was issued in thirteen parts, the dates of which are given by Coues (2nd Inst., p. 286). These dates do not agree, always, with those printed at the close of each article.
