Bettoni, Eugenic. 



Storla Naturale degli Uccelli che nidificano in Lombardia, ad 

 iUustrazione delta raccoUa ornitologica deifratelli Ercole 

 ed Ernesto Turati, scritta da Eugenio Bettoni, con tavole 

 litografate e colorate prese dal vera da 0. Dressier. 2 

 vols, fol., Milan. 



This fine work is now complete in two volumes, and does great 



credit to the liberality and taste of the brothers Turati, at whose 



expense, we believe, it has been brought out. The volumes 



are dated 1865 and 1868; but the concluding parts have been 



only lately received — in this country at least.

 and its vicinity, near Chanda. J. A. S. B. xl. part ii. 1871,

 the author believes the fauna of India proper may be divided.
