After Azara's ' Apuntamientos ' this is the most important of the older 

 publications relating to Argentine ornithology. The celebrated French 

 traveller and naturalist d'Orbigny made extensive collections of birds 

 in several parts of the Argentine Republic, especially in Corrientes, on 

 the Parana, near Buenos Ayres, and on the Rio Negro. The birds were 

 worked out by himself after his return home, with the assistance of the 

 well-known French ornithologist the Baron F. de la Fresnaye. The 

 list of them, with the descriptions of the new species, was first published 

 in two consecutive volumes of the ' Magasin de Zoologie ' (for 1837 and 

 1838), with a separate title* and separately paged. It was unfortu- 

 nately never completed, and contains only the Accipitres, Passeres, and 

 Picarise. The valuable notes and remarks of d'Orbigny were subse- 

 quently published in the fourth volume of his ' Voyage/ of which the 

 title is given above. This work also, as is much to be regretted, was 

 brought to a sudden termination when only half finished. 



D'Orbigny's types are now mostly in the French National Collection 

 at Paris, though a few of them, which cannot be found there, are sup- 

 posed to have been retained in the De la Fresnaye Collection, and if so 

 are now in the museum of the Boston Society of Natural History.
