 Xot seen : title and comment from Newton, 1877, q. v. 



"The plate of G haradrius himantopus has been re-engraved, and is not coloured; that of 

 the 'Hybrid Bird' is nniittcd. "With these exceptions and those of the change of the title, 

 and the addition of the 'Poems' and of 'Observations on some Passages of Mr. White's 

 Natural History of Selbome' (vol. ii, pp. 307-316), signed 'J. M.' (Mltford, cf. Bennett's ed., 

 1837, pref. pp. siv, xv), this edition differs bnt little from that of 1802, q. v. Bennett indeed 

 says (loc. cit.) that it was published in 4to. I have not met with such a copy, but some may 

 very likely have been printed in that form."

 pp. i-vi, with 15 coloured plates. 



It is a mere fragment of a work never completed. The text is nothing more than the title, 

 preface and list of the pl;ites, on which the eggs of 46 British Birds are figured in colors. 



1816. Leach, W. E. Systematic Catalogue of the Specimens of the indigenous Mam- 

 malia and Birds that are preserved in the British Museum, with their localities 

 and authorities. To which is added, a list of the described species that are 

 wanting to complete the collection of British Mammalia and Birds. London. 

 1816. 4to. 



Not seen ! It is a very scarce tract ; I know of no copy in America. It acquires impor- 

 tance from the inany new names, generic and specific, or new compounds of old names, 

 which it contains. Stephen's Continuation of Shaw's Oen. ZooL, 1817, et seq., gives various 

 new names of Leaeh's, some cited as if from his MS.

 from both vols, of the " History of British Birds", without the test, iwid printed in 4to, 

 in an edition of only 25 copies. See 1797-1804, Bewick, T.
