In this Frencli version Ity Sonnini. much better kno^vn than the original, Azara's Apunta- 

 mientos para la liistoria natural de los Paxaros de Paragiiay, etc., are contained in the third and 

 fourth vohimes : four birds are figured in the atlas. !Sounim"s translation is considered "meri- 

 torious", hut has its short-comings. See especially Hartlaub"s Sygtematischer Index. 1847.

 The second Italian edition (original edition, 1782) ; but there had meanwhile been sundry 

 others, in Spanish, French, German, and English, 57. vv. Eespecting the present, the author 

 says in the preface: — "11 Saggio sulla Storia naturale del Eeguo del Chili veuuto .ilia luce
