pltite a sheet or so of letter-press, not paged. Plates (37 4-78 + 76 -f- 90 -{-

 Parts i, ii, 1862; iii, iv, 1863; v, vi, 1864; vii, viii, 1865; ix, x, 1866; xi, xii, 1867; xiii, xiv,

 last part were issued the permanent titles, &c., for the 5 vols, in which the work is directed to 

 he made up, including pp. i-cxl of introduction. This consists of a synopsis of the 409 spp. of 

 which the work treats. The regular text is not paged ; it consists of a sheet or so to each 

 plate. The pll. are not numhered. They were not issued in any systematic order; hut are 

 designed to he rearranged systematically in 5 series, one to each vol. as ahove indicated, and 

 are enumerated conformably to the printed lists ; being citable by number according to these 

 lists. The plan of i>ublication is thus like that of all the rest of Gould's famous works. I 

 have only seen the woik as made ur, and cannot, therefore, give the cover-title l)y which it 

 was alone known for so many years, and which diifers from th(> permanent title above cited. 

 " This grand work, which was begun in 1862, is continued at the rate of two parts every 

 year. The plates, as regards beauty and finish, far exceed those in any other of the author's 

 well-known publications. ... A good deal of care has been bestowed on the letter-press, 

 which is much more comprehensive than in the majority of Mr. Gould's books. Figures of 

 the nestings of many of the species are also introduced to an extent greater than in any other 

 work of the kind with which we are acquainted, excepting perhaps Kaumann's 'Vogel 

 Deutschlands.' " {Zool. Rec. for 1864, i>. 42.)

This interesting and beautifully illustrated volume contains an account, more or less 

 detailed, of all the birds figured in the 2d ed. of Tarrell, with additions to date. The author 

 makes out the British list to be: resident all the year, 140; summer visitors, 63; winter 

 visitors, 48 ; capricious visitors, 110 ; total, 361. The author has certainly, as he ventured to 

 hope, provided the lover of nature with a pleasant companion in his country walks, and the 

 young ornithologist with a manual which will supply his present needs and prepare him for 

 the study of more important works.
