The 1st vol. treats of the Pigeons, the other two of the Oallinacece (incl. linamidce, etc. ) ; 

 at end. of 1st and 3d vol. is an "index", or synopsis of the species treated, with characters, 

 synonymy, and habitat of each. The plates bound at end of 3d vol. pertain to vols, ii and iii; 

 the frontisp. of vol. i to the Columboe. This is a very well known and "standard" treatise.

 The majority of all the birds in these three volumes arc thus described as new ; a large 

 part of the rest are credited to Latham. Temminck's names are barbarous in many cases, 

 most of those given in the French vernacular being horrid ; but that has always been the 

 style with the French ornithologists. 



Vol. Ill concludes with a statement from Temminck of the circumstances under which Ms 

 folio work on the. Pigeons appeared— which is not only important as a bibliographical matter, 

 hut delightful as a bit of gossip. In explanation both of the present publication and of the 

 folio work on the Pigeons, I here give the substance of his grievance as set forth by him : 



The present work, says Temminck, was intended to appear in folio, with colored plates, 

 The first volume of the folio edition appeared at Paris in 1808 and was completed in 1811, 

 nnder the direction of Mile. Pauline de Courcelles, afterward Madame Knip, a very accom- 

 plished natural history artist, all of whose works attest her distinguished talents. This lady 

 was charged with the supervision of the engraving, 47 drawings having been made by her 

 from specimens of Pigeons in the Paris Museum, and 40 others copied by her from M. PrStre's 

 designs, the latter made under Temminck's supervision. The first livraison apj^eared in 1808, 

 with the same general title as the present edition ; Mile, de Courcelles being properly credited 

 with her part of the work in the following terms: "Aves figures en couleurs peintes par 

 Mademoiselle Pauline do Courcelles, gravies, imprim6es et rotouch6es sous sa direction."
