The first edition of this work is now well known through the reprint 

 of Sherborn and Sykes, but I have seen no notes regarding the second 

 edition. This is reported to be a reprint of the first, and so far as 

 mj examination goes, though the pagination differs I have found 

 nothing novel in the text. There are, however, attached four plates 

 figuring certain species, and I note these species appear only as 

 nomina nuda in the first edition. The figures, of course, validate 

 the names, but only as from 1819, the date of the second edition. 

 The preface is dated " Jan.", while the jJates, all reversed, are 

 lettered " J. J. Noodt " or " J. J. N. " The figures have numbers 

 inscribed against them, and I here transcribe the details for con- 

 sideration : —
