"AN EDITION OF THIS WORK (says the Author) was published in 1834; but the 

 extensive researches since carried on among the great Andean ranges of South America having led 

 to the discovery of many additional and beautiful species belonging to this extraordinary group of 

 Birds, a revision of the Work not only became necessary, but an entirely new edition was deemed 

 imperative; and accordingly one, with the whole of the former Plates re-drawn, was published." 

 The above is this new edition. 



"THE TOUCANS (family Rhantphastidic) constitute a group of Birds confined to the 

 tropical portions of America. They are at once to be distinguished by the enormous size of their 

 Bills, by the feathered character of their long and slender Tongue, by the parrot-like arrangement 

 of the Toes (covered with broad plates), which are formed as close graspers ; by a broad naked 

 space around the Eye, and by the richness and strong contrasts of the Colouring of their Plumage." 



THE TROGONID.E, 



OR 



FAMILY OF TROGONS. 



CONTAINING 47 COLOURED PLATES. 



WITH COPIOUS DESCRIPTIONS. 



SECOND AND ENLARGED EDITION, ONE VOLUME IMPERIAL FOLIO. 



NEWLY BOUND IN HALF MOROCCO EXTRA, GILT EDGES, £12. 

 WHOLE MOROCCO EXTRA, GILT EDGES, £14. 



"THE SAME REASONS which induced the Author to publish a new edition of the 

 Monograph of the Rhamphastidas also rendered another edition of this Monograph desirable ; 

 accordingly the present one has been prepared, comprising all the New Species, and information 

 acquired respecting this family of Birds during the last twenty-five years." 



" The Trogons may dispute the palm of beauty with the Humming Birds. Their plumage in 

 certain parts shines with metallic brilliancy, and exhibits all the colours of the rainbow." — Griffith's 

 Edition of Cuvier.
