 and N. Hanhart, imp. plates. J. Wolf, del. J. Smit, lith. J. D.White, pinx.] 

 Vol. I, 18 — , Title, 1 leaf. Dedication, 1 leaf. List subscribers, preface, intro- 

 duction, explanation, list of plates, pp. i-xl. Plates i-xxix, xxix bis, xxx- 

 xxxii, with one or more unpaged sheets of letter-press to each. Vol. II, 18 — , 

 Title, 1 leaf. List of plates, 1 leaf. Plates i-xiii, xiii bis, xiv-xlvii, with one 

 or more unpaged sheets of letter-press to each. (A few additional sheets of 

 subfamily characters in both vols. ) Plates i, ii, plain : the rest colored. 81 

 plates in all. 



The work is not paged nor are the plates numbered : the only clue to the plates is the 

 printed list. This may be conceded to be the most superb, as it is also the most extensive, 

 of Mr. Elliot's great Iconographies. Among the birds represented are some of the most 

 gorgeous objects in ornithology. The plates of JPavo muticus and Meleagris ocellata are in- 

 comparable except with some of the other splendid effects of Wolf's art. 



The Introduction goes quite fully into the history of the family, their geographical distri- 

 bution, etc.
