The 1st vol. treats of the Pigeons, the other two of the Oallinacece (incl. Tinamidce, otc.l ; 

 at end of 1st aud 3d vol. is an "index", or synopsis of the species treated, with characters, 

 svnonymy, and habitat of oacli. The plates bound at end of 3d vol. pertain to vols, ii and iii: 

 the frontisp. of vol. i to the Columbae. This is a very well known and "standard" treatise.

The majority of all the birds in these three voluaies are thus described as new; a large 

 part of the rest are credited to Latham. Temminck's names are barbarous in many cases, 

 most of those given in the French vernacular being horrid ; but that has always been the 

 style with the French ornithologists. 



Vol. HI concludes with a statement from Temminck of the circumstances under which his 

 folio work on the Pigeons appeared — which is not only important as a bibliographical matter, 

 but delightful as a bit of gossip. In explanation both of the present publication and of the 

 folio work on the Pigeons, I bore give the substance of his grievance as set forth by him: 



The present work, says Temminck, was intended to .appear in folio, with colored plate-s. 

 The tir.st volume of the folio edition appeared at Paris in 1808 and was completed in 1811, 

 under the direction of Mile. Pauline de Courcelles, afterward Madame Knip, a very accom- 

 plished natural history artist, all of whose works attest her distinguished talents. Tliis lady 

 was charged with the supervision of the engraving, 47 drawings having been made by her 

 from specimens of Pigeons in the Paris Museum, .and 40 others copied by her from M. Prfitre's 

 designs, the latter made under Temminck's supervision. The first livraison appeared in 1808, 

 with the same general title as the present edition ; MUe. de Courcelles being properly credited 

 with her part of the work in the following terms: "Aves figures en conleurs peintes par 

 Mademoiselle Pauline dc Courcelles, grav6es, imprim6es et retouch6es sous sa direction.''
