See the original editiim, 1782. In this, the earliest English version I know of, the bird- 

 matter is iu vol. I, chap. IV, sect. V, pp. 102-188, witli the original Latin diagnoses at pp. 240- 

 242; sec also p. 208. Phijtotoina liere becomes "Phitotoma". As in some other versions, tlie 

 footnotes of the original are liere dispensed witli, and the technical names aie inserted iu tlic 

 text in parentheses. 



"The author of tlie present -work, Don Jxuva Ignatius [i. e. Giovanni Ignazio] Medina, was a 

 native of Cliili, distinguished for his literary acquirements, .and particularly his knowledge of 

 natural history, large collections iu which he had made during his resi<h'nce in that country. 

 On the dis.s(dution of tlie celebrated order of the Jesuits, of which he was a member, he 

 shared the general fate of that connnunity, in being expelled from the territoi'ies of .Spain, 

 and was at the same time deprived not only of his collections in natural history, but also of 

 his manu.scripts. The most important of the latter relative to Chili, he had, however, the 

 good fortune to regain by accident some time after his residence in Bologna, in Italy, whither 

 he had gone on his arrival in Europe. Funiished with these materials, he ajiplied himself to 

 writing the History of that country, which was published at two ditl'ercut pt'riods : the tirst 

 part, comprising the Natural llistory, iu the year 1787 [qiu 1782], and the second, for reisons 

 mentioned iu Lis preface, not uutU some years after."
