1833. Jardine, \V.— Continued. 



"The Naturalists' Library," whicli reached about 40 vols, through several years, was 

 started in 1833 with Jardine's " Huniniiug-Birds," in 2 vols. The above is the full title and 

 collation of the original issue, in cheap binding and loaded with advts., dilfer ng materially 

 from the later reissue, when the many vols, were systematically rearranged, Mammals first, 

 then Birds, &c. In the final rearrangement, these two Hiimming-Bird vols, become "Hum- 

 ming-Birds. — Part I [II] ", and fonn Vols. VI, VII. The main text, and the plates, are iden- 

 tical in any issues ; but the titles and the furnishings diti'er. (Compare next title.) 



"The Xaturalists' Library" was a publisher's enterprise; but the weight of the editor's 

 name, the excellence of the text, and the beauty of the plates, rendered it a very uotablo 

 work, of no less scientific merit than popular interest and usefulness.

Bemg Vols. I, II, of the original issue. The date here given is that of the original issue ; 

 I do not know exactly when the reissue was made. On the systematic rearrangement of the 

 many vols, of the series, the Hummers, originally Vols. I and II, became " Humming-Birds, 

 Part I [II]," and then formed Vols. VI, VII, of the rearranged series. (Compare last title.) 



■These two vols, contain memoirs of Linmeus (Vol. VI) and of Pennant (Vol. VII), and other- 

 wise consist of a monograph oi Irochilidce ; the text by Jardiue, the illustrations by Lizars.

 and descriptive, adopting Swainson's five subfamilies. This series of illustration.s, coming 

 after Lesson's works on the same subject, furnish a valuable check on the species so indis- 

 criminately described as new by the latter, to the great prejudice of others, especially Vieillot.

This article has no title, and appears to be little known. I commend it to notice, as con- 

 taining descriptions of five new Hummers, the names of which, given in due Linna?an form, 

 doubtless antedate others now in general employ.
