BIBLIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX. 1871-1872 689 



[1871.] WILSON, A., and BONAPARTE, C. L. Continued. 



vols. of 76 + 27 pll. (nearly 400 figg.). Vol. I, pp. cxxxii, 214; II, 

 pp. viii, 9-390 ; III, pp. viii, i*-xvi*, 9-426. 



This late edition of "Ord's "Wilson" and "Bonaparte" is a very fine one. 

 Ord's Memoir on "Wilson, pp. xi-cxxxii. Bonaparte's portion occupies pp. 135 to 

 end of voL III. The species are systematically arranged. A novel feature is the 

 interpolation, pp. i*-xvi* of vol. Ill, of Prof. Baird's Catalogue of N. Am. Birds, 

 reprinted from the 8vo ed., 1858. Editor's preface states: "In preparing for 

 the press this edition of Wilson's Ornithology, the editor has adhered to the 

 original text, correcting only some erroneous references, and a few verbal inac- 

 curacies. . . . The original plates, engraved under the eye of "Wilson, are 

 employed in this edition, after having been carefully examined and retouched 

 by Mr. Alexander Lawson, by whom most of them were executed ; and who as 

 an engraver of objects of natural history, stands unrivalled. The birds have 

 been colored by skilful artists, from recent specimens, or from the beautiful pre- 

 parations belonging to the Philadelphia Museum." 



The atlas of plates accompanying this edition is in 2 vols. folio, each sepa- 

 rately entitled, and both titles are different from that of the vols. of text ; so 

 that they will doubtless yet be found quoted in catalogues as different works. 

 The atlas to "Wilson's 76 plates is entitled : American Ornithology; | or, | the 

 Natural History | of the | Birds of the United States. | Plates | engraved and 

 colored from original Drawings taken from Nature. | By | Alexander "Wil- 

 son. | [Trademark.] | Philadelphia: | Porter &Coates, | 822 Chestnut street. The 

 other atlas, of 27 pll., is simply entitled : Bonaparte's Ornithology | Plates. 

 Each atlas has a leaf of text (index). The two will probably be found bound 

 together in some cases.
