The first ten plates were executed by William Home Lizars, 

 Edinburgh, 1826-7, but were later retouched or reengraved ( ?) 

 by Robert Havell, Junior, who produced all the rest in Lon- 

 don; printed on Whatman's drawing paper, size (untrimmed), 

 39% x ^9% inches, and colored after the originals. A consider- 

 able number of the plain plates were dispersed, and at least one 

 complete set exists in this state (see Note, Chapter XXVI, 

 Vol. II, p. 7, and also Chapter XXXII, Vol. II, p. 190) ; scien- 

 tific and common names, with legends of author and engraver, 

 and eventually the date of publication, were given on each plate. 

 Issued to subscribers at two guineas a Part, and sold in Europe 

 at 182, 44s ; in America, at $1,000. The Turkey Cock (Plate 

 No. 1) now brings upwards of $140, and perfect sets upwards 

 of $4,000, according to binding and state. Total number of 

 original sets probably did not exceed 190 or 200.
