This is the first republication of Audubon's 8vo ed. a mere reissue, retitled, 

 nos. of vols. and the text and plates the same. It will be observed that the title- 

 page bears no regular publisher's imprint; nor does the person who occasioned 

 the reprint make any explanatory note. There are defective copies of this, 

 without any plates, same date, q. v. 



1856. AUDUBON, J. J. The | Birds of America, | from | drawings made in 

 the United States | and their Territories. | By | John James Audu- 

 bon, F. R. S., &c., &c. | Vol. I [II, III, IV, ?, VI, VII]. | New York: | 

 Published by V. G. Audubon, | 1856. Roy. 8vo in size, 4to by printer's 

 sigs., ostensibly in seven vols. Vol. I, pp. iii-viii, 11-2-16. Vol. II, 

 pp. i-viii, 11-199. Vol. Ill, pp. i-viii, 9-233. Vol. IV, pp. iii-viii, 9- 

 321. Vol. V missing. Vol.VI, pp. iii-viii, 9-456. Vol. VII, pp. i-viii, 

 9-372. No plates. 



This is the same as the last, without the plates. It is a singular circumstance 

 that the fifth volume of the set is missing, or at least not in general circulation; 

 I have never seen it. It may have been destroyed by accident, or, possibly, was 

 never reproduced. Owing to this imperfection of the set, and the absence of 

 illustrations, this edition is very cheap it may be bought for about $1 a volume. 

 My copy has pencilled on the title of vol. VI what seems to be directions to 

 printer for getting up the 1861 ed., Now York, Lockwood & Son, as a reissue 

 by John "W. Audubon, q. v.
