' Iconografia della Fauna Italicn.' 321 



Bonaparte's work^ as we learn from what he says at the 

 end of the preface^ was begun in 1832, and finished 21st 

 December, 1841. It is divided into three volumes, the first 

 of which contains tlie Mammals and the Birds, but the whole 

 work was published in 30 Parts or " Fascicoli." The dates of 

 each of these have been given by Bonaparte in the '^ Specchio 

 generale delF Opera,'^ printed after the List of the Sub- 

 scribers, and the contents of the Parts can be gathered from 

 the '^ Indice distributive " of each volume. 



The Parts or " Fascicoli" containing descriptions of Birds 

 were published in the following sequence : — 

 Fasc. I. (1832). 



Sylvia icterina (tom. i.)t, punt. 2,.tav. 28 J, f. 2. 



Sylvia hippolais (tom. i.), punt. 2*, tav. 28, f. 1. 

 Fasc. II. (1833). ?u\ -^.-.t.,; ■'/^?j.

Motacilla cinereocapilla (tom. i.), punt. (36*) ||, tav. 31, 

 f. 2. 



t To complete tlie quotation I have added the indication of the volume. 



X The plates are not numbered in Bonaparte's work, but in the ' Con- 

 spectus ' and other works he has attributed to them numbers, according 

 to the sequence indicated by him, for the binding, in the " Indice distri- 

 butivo del Tomo Primo." 



§ Bonaparte, as I will explain under Chlorospiza incerta, has wrongly 

 stated, in the " Indice distributivo del Tomo Primo," that Friivjilla cisalpina 

 was contained in Fasc. xxiv. Also the statement that Fringilla serinus 

 was published in Fasc. iii., instead of iv., is most likely wrong, but it 

 has no consequence as to the date. 



II I have enclosed between brackets the numbers which are not printed 

 at the bottom of the pages.
