It will be seen that the prospectus was not carried out 

 and a few remarks must be offered in connection with 

 the above. 



The Galerie consists of coloured plates, with a few 

 hlach plates of heads and feet of birds. Sometimes 

 the issue of these black plates is noted as under Livrs. 6 

 and 7 : probably where 5 plates occur one of these was 

 a black one, but in connection with Livr. 22 the issue 

 of 5 coloured plates and one (black) plate is mentioned. 

 The issue of the parts was fairly regular. Livr. 53 

 was not acknowledged until after Livr. 61, while Livr. 60 

 was twice acknowledged. Livr. 69 is not recorded until 

 a,fter 71, while when 74 is received a note is made that 

 73 was not pubhshed. After Livr. 77, however, the 

 receipt of 73 is admitted. Livr. 79 is missing, but three 

 months after Livr. 82, when " the work is completed " 

 is remarked, the receipt of Livr. 73 is admitted and 

 another note is made: "The work is completed; it is 

 composed of 82 livraisons." I think this 73 is an error 

 for 79, which was found to have been overlooked. The 

 -contents of each livraison are at present unknown to 

 me, but from the succeeding notes a fair degree of 

 accuracy as to the exact date of each plate can be 

 secured.
