A MONOGRAPH BY THE LATE EDWARD BLYTH, C.M.Z.S. 
Greatly Enlarged, and Reprinted, with Numerous Illustrations, by

Member of the British Ornithologists’ Union; General Hditor of the Willughby Society. 
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE, 
“The story of this volume is soon told. On the arrival for the first time in this country of a pair of the 
beautiful white-naped cranes of Japan, they were drawn by Mr. T. W. Wood for The Field, when Mr. EB. Blyth, 
availing himself of the opportunity, published in the columns of that paper a monograph of all the then known 
species of the Gruide. 
“These articles were soon exhausted. I thought of reproducing them in a literal reprint, and had proceeded 
as far as the introduction, when Professor Newton forwarded to me a copy of his article ‘Crane,’ in the ‘ Encyclopzxdia 
Britannica.’ In this he stated ‘an admirably succinct account of all the different species was communicated by the 
late Mr. Blyth to The Field newspaper in 1873, which, it is much to be regretted, has not since been published 
in a more accessible form.’ : 
“This opinion confirmed me in my estimation of the worth ot the work, and I endeavoured to render it 
of more value by the insertion of much matter that limited space had kept out of the original articles, and new 
information that has appeared since Mr. Blyth’s death. Amongt these, I may instance the valuable contributions 
of the late Col. Tickell on the Indian species; Mr. Wolley’s account of the nesting of the common species in 
Lapland, justly characterised by Professor Newton as ‘one of the most pleasing contributions to Natural History 
ever written ;? Dr. Cullen’s account of the nesting of the Demoiselle in Bulgaria, Mr. A. O. Hume on the Asiatic 
White Crane, Dr. Coues on the American species, Lieut.-Col. Prjevalsky’s account of a new species, Mr. Gurney’s 
description of the Southern Crowned Crane, &c., &c. These additions being more than double the amount of the 
original matter, I have no hesitation in placing my own name on the title-page. The added matter, whether in 
large or small type, is indicated by being placed in square brackets [thus], so that Mr. Blyth’s original contributions 
are easy of identification.”

BODDAERT’S TABLE DES PLANCHES ENLUMINEEZ 
DHISTOIRE NATURELLE. 
REPRINTED VERBATIM ET LITERATIM FROM THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION OF 1783. 
“A reprint of Boddaert’s excessively rare work, ‘Table des Planches Enluminées,’ which ornithologists are 
constantly requiring for reference, has been undertaken by Mr. Tegetmeier, F.Z.S. The reprint is a verbatim et 
literatim copy of the original, every word, line, and page being reproduced in fac-simile, even to the typographical 
errors of the old edition.”—The Ibis. 
The reference to Boddaert’s work has hitherto necessitated a great waste of time, owing to the absence of 
an Index, consequently each species had to be sought for amidst 1200 others. Mr. TkcrTMEIER proposes to issue 
the few remaining copies of his reprint, with a full Index of the Genera and Species. ‘The cost of the work 
complete will be, to subscribers, 6s. The Index alone may be obtained by the original subscribers at 1s. in wrapper. 
Application may be made to Mr. Portsr, 6, Tenterden-street, W.C.; or, THe Eprtor, Finchley. 
REPRINT OF 
MOORE’S COLUMBARIUM. 
REPRINTED VERBATIM ET LITERATIM FROM THE ORIGINAL EDITION OF 1735. 
WITH A NOTICE OF THE AUTHOR. 
The “Columbarium” of Moore is the earliest English work giving a description of the different varieties 
of the domestic pigeon. From the accuracy of its details it possesses considerable interest both to naturalists 
and fanciers. By its aid the former may trace the alterations produced in varieties of the same species by the 
most careful breeding, continued for 150 generations; and to fanciers it is known as the source from whence all 
subsequent works have taken their rise.
