Under this title it is proposed very shortly to commence the issue of a series of 

 coiiOUBED litho^aphic illustrations of New or hitherto Unfigueed Birds. 



To the description of each species figured the authors will endeavour to add a 

 complete list of the other known species of the Genus, so that the lettei-press will 

 consist of a series of monographic essays. 



The First Series of this work ^vill contain One Hundred Plates. It will be 

 published in Twelve Parts, at intervals of about two months. Each Part will con- 

 tain eight coloured plates and two sheets of lettei-press. A Thirteenth Part vdll 

 contain the four last plates and the Title and Index to the Volume. 



The price of each Part in Imperial 4to "ndll be £1 Is., to be paid for as the work 

 comes out. Only two hundred copies of the work in Imperial 4to wiU be prepared. 

 Twenty-Jive copies will be printed on Large Paper to match the Large Paper 

 Issues of Temminck and Des Murs. The subscription price of these copies will 

 be, each Part £2 2s. 



Intending Subscribers are requested to apply to the Publisher, Mr. B. Quabitch,

THE BIRDS OF SOUTH AERICA. 



A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF ALL THE KNOWN SPECIES 



OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE TWENTY-EIGHTH PARALLEL 



OF LATITUDE. 



EDGAR LEOPOLD LAYARD, F.Z.S., 



CURATOR OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM, ETC. 



The study of the Birds of Southern Africa is beset with very great difficulty. 

 No work gives even a bare catalogue of their names ; and the descriptions of the 

 various species inhabiting the Cape Colony are scattered through many difterent 

 publications, some so expensive as to be beyond the reach of ordinary collectors, 

 while others are journals extending over a long series of years. 



In size the 'Birds of South Africa' will be similar to Mr. Trimen's ' Rhopalo- 

 cera Afriece Austrcdis,' so as to form with it and contemplated works on the 

 Reptilia, &c., a complete South- African Fauna.
