This is the fifth edition, notable for the introduction of a separately full-titled and sepa- 

 rately paged "Supplement" to each vol. See the orig. ed., 1797-1804. 

 1821. Graves, G. British Ornithology, . . . 



There is said to be a "2d. edit." of this date. Is it anything more than the final issue of 

 the whole work, in 3 voLs. ? Compare 1811-21, Graves, G.

1821-34. Selby, P..I. Illustrati(ms of British Ornithology, . . . 2 vols. Elephant 

 folio. Edinburgh. Pub. in 19 Parts. 1821-1834. Vol. I. Land Birds. Vol. 

 II. Water Birds. Said to be 228 plates, of 383 figures, x>lain or coloured. 



Xot seen as published at these dates. See 1841, same author. For text, see 1825, 1825-33, 

 .and 1833. 



There is great difficulty in arriving at the dates of this work. I have handled a complete 

 set of the plates, but that one is dated 1841, being thus a reissue ; it is furnished with a new 

 title-page, worded differently from any of the earlier titles. I have not been able to see the 

 work in the parts in which it appeared, nor even as first issued on its completion in 1834. 

 According to information accessible to mo (including Lizars' own advt. sheets, pub. with Nat. 

 Libr., "Vol. I, 1833), these folios were published in 19 parts, at intervals of about six months, 

 from 1821 to 1834, both inclusive. This gives the date of each, approximately. They form 

 two series: I. Land Birds, in 8 parts; II. ^Tater Bird.s, in 11 parts; designed to form two 

 vids. On their com])letion, in 1834, the series were bound in two vols., with a litlo said to 

 run as follows: 



• ' The Figures of British Birds, containing an exact and faithful representation, in their 

 full natural size, of all the known species found in Great Britain," etc. 



The two series together are said to consist of 228 plates, of 383 figures ; but they are num- . 

 bored in such a slovenly manner, with so numerous interpolations, including some lettered 

 instead of numerated, th.it the number can only be ascertained by actual count. (See the 

 enumeration which I give under date of the reissue, 1841.) 



1822. 'I^DMOXSTOX, L. Remarks on the Larus Parasiticus or Arctic Gull; and on the

Xot seen : i.s there any such ed. ? Given l)y Engclmaun, Bibl.. i, p. 202 : most likely a mis- 

 take — perhaps a typographical error for 1802, q. v. Cf. Newton, 1877.

during a voyage in 1821. <^Edinl). Philos. Joxrn., viii, 1823, pp. 294-303; ix,
