Editio princeps — scarce, and seldom actually consulted, though constantly (pioted. Sonuini's 

 French translation, Paris, 1809, is oftener handled. Azara describes 418 species, all unfortu- 

 nately under Spanish names only, as many of them are here published for the first time, and 

 form the original basis of many binomial names later bestowed by Tieillot, Temminck, Lichten- 

 stein, and others, to -which, in the nature of the case, much uncertainty and no little confusion 

 attaches in many instances. Hartlaub has published an invaluable Systematic Index (Bre- 

 men, 1847) to Azara, identifying the species as far as possible, with a concordance of ed. 

 princ. and ed. Sonnini, and a considerable synonymy. Fi-om the latter I quote the following,
