630 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX. 1840-1§41 [64 



1840-44. Audubon, J. J. — Coat inued. 



make-np of the volumes were introduced in successivu issues ; und the nutnera 

 tion of .ill the 8vo plates is the same, however indifferent the coloring may be 

 found in some of the late issues. 



This work consists of the original "Ornithological Biography" ; with omission 

 of the "Delineations of American scenery and manners ", which were interpo- 

 lated in the origin.al; with systematic rearrangement of the articles ; with changes 

 in nomenclature of the genera and species to conform with the author's SynopsiU 

 of 1839; and with addition, in the 7th vol., of an appenfnx coutaiuing a number of 

 species not described or figured in the original. The plates are reduced by the 

 camera Incida from the originals. in folio, systematically rearranged and renum- 

 bered, conformably with the sequence of the species in the text, in which they are 

 interpolated. In quoting Audubon's plates, therefore, it is necessary to state 

 whether the numbering of the foljo or 8vo series is rueaut. In the o^igin,^l folios, 

 there are only 435 pll. ; in the present 8vo ed., there are 483, exclusive of the 17 

 additional ones in the Appendix (500 in all). The discrepancy arises Irom the 

 fact that in the original several species were occasionally introduced on the same 

 plate, but .all such being given a separate plate in this edition. The additional 

 species of this edition are the following, being chiefly those procured during 

 the author's journey to the Upper Missouri in 1843 : — FringiUa harrisii, p. 331, 

 pi. 484; Tireo bellii, p. 3.33, pi. 485; JLtaMdaspragrMeii, p. 334, pi. 486; Pleetrophanes

 p. 347, pi. 493 ; Picus ayresii, p. 348, pi. 494 ; Caprimulgus nuttallii, p. 350, pi. 495 

 (named in the Orn. Biogr., v, p. 335) ; Cclvmba trudeaidi, p. 352, pi. 496 ; Almcda 

 rufa (" Lath.'), p. 353, id. 497 ; Fxdigxda marila (,iuct.), p. 355, pi. 498 ; Icterus vul- 

 garis D.aud., p. 357, pi. 499 ; Emberiza bairdii, p. 359, pi. 500; all of which, with the 

 six exceptions noted, are spp. nu. An index to the whole work concludes vol. Vll. 



If a trace of sentiment be permissible in bibliography, I should say that the 

 completion of this splendid series of plates with the name bairdii was significant ; 

 the glorious Audubonian sun had cot indeed, but in the dedicating of the species 

 to "his young friend Spencer F. Baikd" the sceptre was handed to one who w.as 

 to wield it with a force that no other ornithologist of America has ever exercised.
