The history of this work is given by Boddaert in 1783. The designer of the plan of issuing this 

 immense series of coloured plates of Birds, of which no less than 1008 were published, was the cousin of 

 the celebrated Professor Louis D'Aubenton, the coadjutor of Buffon. The plates were executed by 

 Martinet, who had also illustrated the work of Brisson. This circumstance will account for the fact that 

 so many of the plates in the ' Planches Enluminees ' are mere copies of the figures in the older work of 

 Brisson, the positions being frequently reversed, Boddaert says that the plates appeared in " Cahiers," 

 without any systematic order, and in fact "pele-mele" ; and without any description except an indication 

 of the name of the bird attached to the foot of each plate according to Brisson's nomenclature, because 

 M. de Bulfon kept back the descriptions for his big work, which began to appear in 1770. To accompany 

 D'Aubenton's plates, which were of folio size, a special reproduction of the ' Histoire Naturelle des 

 Oiseaux ' was executed, but the names on D'Aubenton's plates were generally changed by Buffon in the 

 text of his own work. 



The species figured in the ' Planches Enluminees ' (vol. vii.) are the following : — 



Plate 543. fig. 1. L'Hirondelle des Cheminees. \_^=Ii- rustica, L.]

Plate 724. fig. 1. Hirondelle a ventre roux, de Cayenne. — This is a very bad figure of the Chimney- 

 Swallow of America. On this figure Boddaert founded his name of Hirundo crythroi/aster 

 [p. 44]. 



Plate 724. fig. 2. Hirondelle k bande blanche sur le ventre, de Cayenne. — This figure is not referred 

 to by Boddaert, but Gmelin's Hirundo fasciata [infra, p. xxxix] is founded on this plate and 

 on Latham's description.
