•'The plate of C haradrius himantopus has been re-engraveil, and is not coloured; that of 

 the 'Hybrid Bird' is omitted. With these exceptions and those of the change of the title,' 

 and the addition of the 'Poems' and of 'Observations on some Passages of Mr. "White's 

 Natural Hhtory of Selborne' (vol. ii, pp. 307-316), signed -J. M.' (Mitford, cf. Bennett's ed., 

 1837, pref. pp. xiv, xv), this edition differs but little from that of 1802, q. v. Bennett indeed 

 says (loe. cit.) that it was published in 4to. I have not met with such a copy, but some may 

 very likely have been printed in that form.""

 pp. i-vi, with 15 coloured plates. 



It is a mere fragment of a work never completed. The text is nothing more than the title, 

 l^reface and list of the plates, on which the eggs of 46 British Birds are figured in colors.

 malia and Birds that are preserved in the British Museum, with their localities 

 and authorities. To which is added, a list of tlie described species that are 

 wanting to complete the collection of British Mammalia and Birds. London. 

 1816. 4to. 



Not seen ! It is a very scarce tract ; I know of no copy in America. It acquires impor- 

 tance from the many new naines, generic and specific, or new compounds of old names, 

 which it contains. Stephen's Continuation of Shaw's Qen. Zool., 1817, et seq., gives v.arious 

 new names of Leach's, some cited as if from his MS.

 from both vols, of the "History of British Birds", without the text, and printetl in 4to, 

 in an edition of only 25 copies. See 1797-1804, Bewick, T.
