 (not numbered), figg. 315 on the pll., and a few woodcc. in test. 



Out of print for several years, and now ratber scarce. The only American 

 edition of "Wilson except the original and one other (Ord's). The original text 

 and nomenclature are followed, with interpolation of the nomenclature and com- 

 mentary of Jardine. The illustr.ations are the orifjin.als, but uncolored, and so 

 greatly reduced that three of Wilson's 4to pbites generally constitute one 

 plate of the present I'Jmo edition ; the pll. are not numbered, but the numera- 

 tion of the individual iigg. is consecutive, 1-315 ; figg. 316, 317, 318, '322, are wood- 

 cuts in text. The special feature of the edition is the editor's synopsis of the 

 Birds of North America (pp. 682-74G), 491 spp. ; those aot givae by Wilson 

 being briefly described, with additional biographical items in many cases. The 

 classification and nomenclature of this synopsis are 1839 Audubonian. 



There is another issue of this work, " 8vo, Now York, 1852". Commnnicat- 

 ing with the editor, respecting this issue, not seen by me, I am informed by 

 him that " when Weeks and Jordan failed the plates were bought by some per- 

 sons in New York and a cheap edition was printed and sold for awhile ; it was 

 identically the same."
