Engelmann cites the work by a somewhat different title, beginning "Collection des Perro- 

 qnets", etc., and gives 1835-39 as dates of the appearance of 29 livraisons. Above title is 

 from a bound copy in Libr. Phila. Acad. ; the wrappers of the parts not being preserved, I 

 cannot give their respective dates. 



As expressly stated in the title, this Iconography is designed as a third (suijplementary) 

 volume to Levaillant's Histoire Nat. de Perroquets, 2 vols, 1801-5. A fourth companion vol- 

 ume was added to the series of illustrations in 1857-58, by De Souanc6.
