XIII. — The Birds of Calcutta, collected and described by 

 Carl J. Sundevall. 



[The following memoir is contained in a small but valuable col- 

 lection of scientific papers published at Lund in Sweden, under 

 the title of t Physiographiska Sallskapets Tidskrift.' One volume 

 only has appeared, in 8vo, dated 1837-38, and, like the greater

 unknown in this country. As Prof. SundevalPs memoir on the 

 Birds of Calcutta was likely to interest Anglo-Indian naturalists,

 and English Dictionary or Grammar to be procured in London,

 one from, others. By the kindness however of M. Bertram, a 

 distinguished German and Scandinavian scholar residing in Ox-
