  progress. 
  Part 
  II. 
  with 
  ten 
  

   beautiful 
  plates 
  is 
  now 
  before 
  us. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  species 
  are 
  figured 
  in 
  it 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Ptilorhis 
  paradisea. 
  Rhipidornis

  uEluroedus

  Of 
  these 
  Paradisornis 
  rudolphi 
  is, 
  as 
  truly 
  said 
  by 
  

   Dr. 
  Sharpe, 
  " 
  among 
  all 
  the 
  extraordinary 
  birds 
  that 
  

   inhabit 
  the 
  earth, 
  one 
  of

  most 
  striking.^' 
  Some 
  of 
  the 
  

   plates 
  will 
  be 
  recognized 
  as 
  old 
  friends.

  Indexes 
  are 
  quite 
  in 
  fashion 
  now-a-days, 
  and 
  they 
  are 
  

   unquestionably 
  of 
  the 
  greatest 
  use 
  to 
  the 
  literary 
  " 
  working- 
  

   man 
  '' 
  of 
  every 
  description. 
  When 
  a 
  job 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  done 
  it 
  is 
  

   always 
  assigned 
  to 
  the 
  most 
  hard- 
  worked 
  individual 
  to 
  do 
  it. 
  

   It 
  therefore 
  naturally 
  became 
  the 
  duty 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Bowdler 
  

   Sharpe 
  to 
  make 
  an 
  index 
  to 
  Gould^s 
  works 
  ; 
  and 
  here 
  it 
  is, 
  

   with 
  a 
  portrait 
  and 
  biographical 
  memoir 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  " 
  Bird- 
  

   man" 
  to 
  set 
  it 
  off. 
  This 
  is 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  complete 
  list 
  of 
  

   Gould's 
  published 
  works, 
  which
