tail-pieces, often very spirited. In the Catalogue, the author endeavors to replace the names 

 of the older writers on Ornithology ; the arrangement is nearly that of Cuvier. The first' 

 division of the Catalogruo is the regular list ; the second, the extinct species ; the third, the 

 principal introduced one ; the fourth, the douhtful ones. The Catalogue is synonymatic to a 

 degi'ee, but not otherwise annotated. The species are not numbered, nor is the total stated.

In this is inserted, between the "Advertisement" and the text, an interesting account of 

 Selborne by Mudio, who gathered the particulars on the spot, and some notes on the "An- 

 tiquities" are supplied by Dixon. In spite of its very .small type and poor woodcuts, this 

 edition, owing to Blyth's excellent notes, is a very valuable one. There is a stereotyped re- 

 issue of 1858.
