Not seen. — This is the date of the orig. ed. of the famous work, which passed to many eds. j 

 see the American, 1874. There is a verbatim reprint by W. B. Tegetmeier, London, 1879. 

 Cf. Ibis, 1879, p. 219. 



"The chief interest of Moore's 'Columbarium' consists in the careful descriptions of the 

 different races of tlie domestic Pigeon as they existed in 1735, enabling a comparison to be 

 made with those of the present day. The alterations produced by careful breeding, carried 

 on for 150 generations, can thus be traced."
