 credited. The woodcut illustrating the chapter is reprinted Book XX.

 Folio. 



Seems to have been printed about four years later than the first edition 

 of tili 8 popular work, of which the author is unknown. With many rude 

 woodcuts, some very grotesque, though obviously meant to be serious. 

 The "Tractatus de Avibus et Yolatilibus," which last term includes many 

 Insects, consists of 122 chapters, nearly each of which has its illustration.

 Printed by Balfour and Smellie, mdcclxxiii. 8vo. 



One copy in the Advocates' Library at Edinburgh : another given by 

 me to that of the Zoological Society of London, 1901. The second edition 

 (4to, 1785) is common enough.
