I am very imperfectly acquainted with this work. The editidu here cited, which I suppose 

 to be a "3d ed., 2 vols., 1856 ", is neither dated nor paged, has the species arranged systematic 

 cally, with the addition, at the end of VoL II, of ]5 species to the 229 before treated, raising 

 the total number of plates to 169, each representing the egg of one or more species, in 

 coloin-s, natural size. The work was originally published (by subscription) in parts. I find 

 • it cited "8vo, London, 1831-1844'', and also "3 vols, 8vo, London, 1831-1836".
