Tti tMs Prench -version by Sonnini, mucli better known than the original, Azara's Apiinta- 

 mientos para la bistoria natural de los Paxaros de Paragiiaj-, etc., are contained in the third and 

 fourth volumes ; four birds are figured in the atlas. Sonuini's translation is considered "meii- 

 torioas ", but has its short-comings. See especially Hartlaub's Systematischer Index, 1847.

Seethe original edition, 1782. This is apparently reprinted from the Middletown (Conn.) ed. 

 of 1808, o. v., with which it is substantially identical in the ornithological matter. Bh'ds: Vol. 



I, Chap. IV, sect. V, pp. 191-222, and pp. 282-284 ; see also p. 317. But the English editor (as 

 I may state for others than ornithologists) has added occasional notes over the initials E. E., 

 and subjoined a further elucidation of the language of the Araucarios, from Falkner's Pata- 

 gonia, besides adding the two appendixes mentioned in the title. 



1810. Ledru, A.-P. Voyage aux lies de Teneriffe, la Trinite, Saint Thomas, Sainte- 



Croix et Porto-Eicco, . . . &c. Par Andre-Pierre Ledru . . . &c. Paris.

Xot seen : cited from Ihis, 18.59, pp. 374, 375. M. Ledru was one of the naturalists (with 

 Mauge) of the expedition commanded by Captain Baudin in 1796-98. His work contains (vol. 



II, pp. 36 et seq.) an "Essai sur I'histoire naturelle des iles danoises", by M. Sonnini, in which 

 ornithology is represented by a variety of matter, some of it wild.

 The second Italian edition (original edition, 1782) ; but there had meanwhile been sundry 

 others, in Spanish, Erench, German, and English, qq. vv. Eespecting the present, the author 

 says in the preface: — "11 Saggio sulla Storia naturale del Eegno del Chili venuto alia luce 

 neir anno 1782 non era altro che un succinto Compendio delle Osservazioni da me fatte cerca 

 gli Esseri appartenenti ai tre Eegni della Xai-ura, che si ritrovano in quel Paese. . . . Tutti 

 le Nazioni colte dell' Europa lo vellero tradotto nelle loro hngue. L'edizione originale fu ben 

 presto smaltita. Parecchi dilettanti di storia naturale, che non potevano piii provvedersene, 

 s'accordarono a fame una ristampa, e mi significarono il desiderio che avevan di arricchirla di 

 nn' appendice, so io fossi in grado di somministrar loro i materiali uecessarj."
