also colored), having a printed title page in addition to the en- 

 graved one. This reads: F. le Vaillant's | Naturgeschichte | der | 

 afrikanischen Vogel | mit Anmerkungen | von | D. Johann Rein- 

 hold Forster. | — | Erstes Bandschen mit 18 Kupfern | Halle, | 

 bey Friedrich Christoph Dreyssig. | On the back of the printed 

 title is given a list of 35 book dealers, in as many places, chiefly, 

 though not all, in Germany, from whom the book could be obtained, 

 ending with the statement that it could be procured from any 

 book dealer in Germany. The publisher intended to issue a part 

 every few months, but the death of Forster, on December 9, 1798, 

 probably caused the project to be abandoned, since no further 

 installments were published. In addition to the two styles de- 

 scribed above, the publisher referred to a third, more fully colored 

 edition, that could be supplied at a somewhat higher price. 



A list of the species figured and described, with the names given 

 by Forster and Levaillant, and the pages on which they occur, is 

 added, together with the equivalent names of Daudin and earlier 

 writers.
