 last part vrere issued the permanent titles, &c., for the 5 vols, in which the work is directed to 

 be made up, including pp. i-cxl of introduction. This consists of a synopsis of the 409 spp. of 

 which the work treats. The reguhir text is not paged ; it consists of a sheet or so to each 

 plate. The pll. are not numbered. Thoy were not issued in any systematic order; but are 

 designed to he rearranged systematically in 5 series, one to each vol. as above indicated, and 

 are enumerated confoimably to the printed lists ; being citable by number according to these 

 lists. The plan of publication is thus like that of all the rest of Gould's famous works. I 

 have only seen the work as made ur, and cannot, therefore, give the cover-title by which it 

 was alone known for so many yeai-s, and which difl'ers fiom the pei-mauont title above cited. 



" This grand work, which was begun in 1862, is continued at the late of two parts every 

 year. The plates, as regards beauty and finish, far exceed those in any other of the author's 

 well-known publications. ... A good deal of care has been bestowed on the letter-pres^, 

 which is much more com])rehensive than in the majority of Mr. Gould's books. Figures of 

 the nestings of many of the species are also introduced to an extent greater than in any other 

 work of the kiud with which wo are aciiuainted, excepting perhaps Naumann's '"Vogel 

 Dentschlands." " {Zool. Bee. for 1864, p. 42.)

This interesting and beautifully illustrated volume contains an account, more or less 

 detailed, of all the biids figured in the 2d ed. of Tarrell, with additions to date. The author 

 makes out the British list to be: resident .all the year, 140; summer \'isitor3, 63; winter 

 visitors, 48 ; capricious visitors, 110 ; total, 361. The author has certainly, as he ventured to 

 hope, provided the lovei' of nature with a pleasant companion in his country walks, and the 

 young ornithologist with a manual which will supply his present needs and prepare him for 

 the study of more important works.
