The whole dates 1874, and appeared about December of that year. The work 

 has not been completed by the voL or vols. on the Water Birds. It is issued 

 with plain or colored plates ; in some copies, the woodcuts in text are also colored. 

 A considerable portion of the woodcuts are the same as those of Baird ed. 

 Cooper's Ornithology of California, for which they were originally prepared ; 

 most of the rest are original ; but some, drawn by Wolf and engraved by 

 Whymper, first published in ' ' British Birds and their Haunts ", were furnished by 

 the London Soc. for Diff. Christian Knowledge ; and others, prepared for an ined. 

 work on the birds of Germany, by Blasius, were obtained from Messrs. Vieweg & 

 Sohn of Braunschweig. Nearly all the drawings of the full-length figures were 

 made on wood by E. L. Sheppard of Philadelphia, while the heads were exe- 

 cuted mostly by H. W. Elliott and E. Eidgway ; both series were engraved by 

 H. H. Nichols of Washington. The generic outlines (cuts in text) were drawn 

 by A. L. Schonborn and engraved by the Jewett process. " The technical or 

 descriptive matter of the present work has been prepared by Messrs. Baird and 

 Eidgway, that relating to the Raptores entirely by Mr. Eidgway ; and all the 

 accounts of the habits of the species are from the pen of Dr. Brewer. In addi- 

 tion to the matter supplied by these gentlemen, Professor Theodore N. Gill has 

 furnished that portion of the Introduction defining the class of Birds as compared 

 with other vertebrates j while to Dr. Coues is to be given the entire credit for
