" This remains as yet the standard edition of the work. E. T. Bennett died as it was passing 

 through the press, and the Preface bears the initials ("I. J. B.") of his brother, and is dated 

 1836; but the volume is believed (ef. Thompson, Birds of Irel., i, p. 199, note) to have appeared 

 in 1837. Besides a selection from the notes given in Ronnie's edition (cf. supra, 1833), others 

 are added by Prof. Bell ("T. B."), Daniell ("G. D,"), Prof. Owen ("R. 0."), and Tarrell ("W. 

 T.") : the woodcuts, many by Harvey, are good." (Comment from IN'ewton, 1877.)
