This edition is now out of print ; a revised edition, without the 

 Code of Nomenclature, will appear during the present year. An 

 abridged edition, giving only the systematic and English names, was 

 published in 1889.

 ing, Preparing, and Preserving Birds. Profusely illustrated. Boston : 

 Estes & Lauriat, 1884. Royal 8vo, pp. i-xxx, 1-862. 



This is issued as the second edition of the " Key " published in 1872, 

 but is really the first edition of the new " Key." Several reprints, with 

 an appendix giving newly described birds, recent changes in nomencla- 

 ture, etc., have appeared. The influence of this work in promoting 

 ornithological research in America can not be overestimated. To one 

 intending to enter upon the scientific study of birds it is indispensable.
