A CATALOGUE OF WORKS AND ARTICLES RELATING 
TO THE ORNITHOLOGY OF FRANOE. 
By Howarp Saunpers, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 
DorinG a recent residence of some months in France I endea- 
voured to compile a list of the various treatises upon the provincial 
and local Ornithology of the country ; and the present is a Catalogue 
of all the published works on the subject of whose existence I am 
aware. It should be borne in mind that it embraces only works 
relating to France (including Alsace and Lorraine), and makes no 
pretension to being a catalogue of French ornithological literature. 
For a knowledge of many of the minor treatises I am indebted to 
my friend M. Clement, of Nimes, and I think that some of my 
readers will be surprised at the number of works which have been 
published in France on the subject of Ornithology. 
The question of arrangement presented considerable difficulty, 
for few Englishmen know where many of the smaller Departments 
are situated; but as the great point is to be able to refer to the 
authorities upon the district respecting which information is 
required, I have taken the old Provinces as a basis, and com- 
mencing with the Département du Nord, in the Province of 
Flandre, working round by the coast, west and south, as far 
as the Pyrenees; thence eastward and north, bringing in the 
central and composite Departments in the way which seemed most 
practicable. 
To facilitate reference, the names of the Departments, and 
occasionally those of the places of publication, where the latter 
are better known to the English reader, are printed in ¢talics.
