"In sending forth a Third Edition of his 'Ornithological Rambles,' the Author has not 

 thought it necessary to make any essential alterations in the former part of the work, but 

 those who may fe«l an interest in the occurrence of new or rare species withiu the limits of 

 the county, will find some additional information on this subject in the Sy.stematic Catalogue 

 at the end of the volume." 



The original lithographs, after the author's drawings, having been worn out, are superseded 

 in this ed. by four of "Wolf's spirited illustrations.

 col'd i)lates. 



This is a beautiful and luxurious volume. The text is of general character, for the most 

 part a leaf of it to a plate. Some 60 or 70 species are treated. The plates are brilliant; and 

 if the author had numbered them, so that I could cite them, I would do so with pleasure. 



I imagine, without knowing, that the work may have been published iu parts, not necessa, 

 rUy all of the date above given.
