copy, although it contains the full number of pages and plates, is "by no 

 means in good condition." It is bound in cloth and measures 21 in. X 16J 

 in. I assume that it came with the rest of Professor Newton's library into 

 the possession of Cambridge University on the death of the Professor. 



3. Library of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, Jamaica 

 Plain, Mass. Purchased for $200 from N. J. Bartlett & Co. of Boston in 

 1911 by Mr. John E. Thayer and presented by him to the Arnold Arboretum. 

 A perfect copy, bound in full purple morocco, gilt edges, 19| in. X 15| in. 



4. Library of John E. Thayer, Lancaster, Mass. Bought of N. J. 

 Bartlett & Co., Boston, for $25. Perfect copy, bound in half morocco. 

 Plate 44 wants fig. 5 (Hudsonian Titmouse) and plate 61 wants two figures 

 (Mangrove Hummingbirds). These figures were apparently added after 

 this copy was printed off. 



5. Library of Samuel Henshaw, Cambridge, Mass. Bought of John 

 Wheldon & Co., London, for £24, in July, 1907. Full red-morocco bind- 

 ing, gilt edges, by W. H. Smith & Son, Strand, London. 20f in. X 15f in. 

 A perfect copy and an early one, as plate 44 lacks the figure of the Hud- 

 sonian Titmouse, and plate 61 the two figures of the Mangrove Humming- 

 bird. This copy has the original printed dedication to the Earl of Airlee, 

 dated Edinburgh, May, 1831. This leaf was cancelled by the later en- 

 graved dedication to the same nobleman, which is also bound in this copy. 

 On page ii is written "T. Thurlow, Esq., Horsham." 



6. Library of Theodore N. Vail, Morristown, N. J. Perfect copy, 

 half red-morocco, gilt edges. Formerly belonged to Mr. Frederic Gallatin, 

 Jr., of New York. Catalogue of a Collection of Books on Ornithology in 

 the Library of Frederic Gallatin, Jr., p. 139, New York, 1908. 



7. Library of H. C. Tuttle, Naugatuck, Conn. Bought of Quaritch 

 in London, 1919, by N. J. Bartlett & Co., of Boston, and sold by them in 

 June, 1919, to Mr. Tuttle for $200. Bound in half dark-green morocco, 

 gilt edges, 21 in. X 16 in. Plate 112 is a hand-made copy of the original. 

 This copy, like Nos. 4 and 5, is an early impression before the three figures 

 were added to plates 44 and 61. 



8. Library of Walter Faxon, Lexington, Mass. Bought of William J. 

 Gerhard, Philadelphia book-dealer, June 20, 1904, for $25. Mr. Gerhard 

 imported it from Brussels at a cost of $18.50. Bound in half calf, gilt edges, 

 20f X 16| in. Wants four plates (1, 19, 104, 124) and has been roughly 

 used by some former owner. Contains a pencil autograph "Rich. Darling," 

 and an embossed book-plate with the initials I C and an armorial crest, — 

 a wivern segreant azure. 



9. Library of Mrs. R. E. Hopkins, Tarrytown, N. Y. This copy 

 fetched $31 at Bangs's auction-sale in New York, Nov. 23, 1896. It came 

 under the same auctioneer's hammer again on Feb. 23, 1897, when it went 

 to Major R. E. Hopkins for $34. It was shown to me in 1901 by the 

 widow of Major Hopkins. An imperfect copy, lacking title-page, dedica- 

 tion, index, and thirty-seven plates. It has one of the original-part 

 wrappers bound in (see 'The Auk,' April, 1903, p. 238).
