  No 
  formal 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  Bunting 
  appears 
  to 
  have 
  

   been 
  published 
  previous 
  to 
  that 
  by 
  Loche 
  in 
  1867, 
  There 
  

   appears 
  to 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  Levailkmt 
  was 
  selected 
  to 
  write 
  

   the 
  Mammals 
  and 
  Birds 
  for 
  the 
  Expl. 
  scient. 
  de 
  TAlgerie^ 
  

   and 
  Caras 
  and 
  Engelmann 
  in 
  their 
  ' 
  Bibliotheca 
  Zoologica/ 
  

   which 
  appeared 
  in 
  18G1, 
  referring 
  to 
  that 
  work, 
  cite 
  Levail- 
  

   hint 
  as 
  the 
  author 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Mammiferes 
  et 
  Oiseaux." 
  But 
  

   Levaillant 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  ceased 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  the 
  Com- 
  

   mission 
  in 
  1851, 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  titlepage 
  of 
  a 
  pamphlet"^ 
  issued 
  

   by 
  him 
  in 
  that 
  year 
  (for 
  the 
  loan 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  am 
  indebted 
  to 
  

   Professor 
  Newton) 
  he 
  designates 
  himself 
  as 
  ex-member 
  of 
  

   the 
  Commission. 
  

  

  In 
  order 
  to 
  save 
  future 
  workers 
  the 
  trouble 
  of 
  reference 
  

   to 
  Levaillant's 
  work, 
  I 
  append 
  herewith 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  plates 
  of 
  

   birds 
  contained 
  in 
  it, 
  15 
  in 
  number, 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  corre- 
  

   sponding 
  names 
  as 
  they 
  now 
  stand, 
  added 
  where 
  they

  gives
