"... There are numerous editions; besides the three I here give (see 1750 and 1756), 

 there are these: German, Frankfurt u. Leipzig, 1747; Danish, Copenhagen, 1748; English, 

 London, 1758, folio; and two or three French versions of later dates than 1750. tfeeCuv., 

 It. A., iii, 331; BOHM., Bibl., i, 769; AG. & STUICKL., Bibl., i, 127." 



Not, -von; title and comment from Coues, Birds Col. Vail., App., 1878, p. 579. 



Amlei sou's work, from its early date and the detailed information it gives, is one of im- 

 portance in its relation to Cetology. See later editions, especially the Dutcn versions of 1750 

 and 1756. 



Strange as it may seem, I have been unable to find any edition of Anderson in any of the 

 principal libraries of Cambridge and Boston, the collations here given being all at second 

 hand. [233.]
