306 Stone, Ornithological Works of J. J. Audubon. [July 



of the species described in the 'Biography' and 'Synopsis' are here 

 figured for the first time, i. e., Rough-winged Swallow, Mourning 

 Warbler, Delafield's Warbler, Parkman's Wren, Stanley's Gold- 

 finch, Morton's Finch, and American Ptarmigan. 



The total number of plates in the Octavo is 500; four of the 

 largest birds, however, are illustrated by two plates each, reducing 

 the figured species to 490, to which are to be added 12 unfigured 

 species, the descriptions of which are reprinted from the 'Biogra- 

 phy,' making the final total of species recognized by Audubon 508. 



Of these 474 are recognized to-day in the A. O. U. Check-List, 

 17 have proved to be identical with others, 10 are extralimital, 2 

 are hybrids, and 5 have never been found since. Of the species 

 suppressed by Audubon 2 have been resurrected. 



Of the SOS, and the two since reestablished, Audubon was per- 

 sonally acquainted with 3S5, while 74 were sent him by John K. 

 Townsend from the Pacific coast and 51 he obtained from muse- 

 ums and other sources. 



There are several reprints of the Octavo 'Birds of America' 

 quoted in Coues's 'Bibliography' which are interesting only from 

 a bibliographic standpoint, for, so far as I can ascertain, there is no 

 additional matter and no new names contained in them.
