... .As the title indicates, the work treats of the fauna and flora of 

 Mexico and Central America. .. .The ornithological portion is by the 

 editors . Of each species a short Latin description is given, and all 

 the more important references to the literature are duly cited. . .The 

 ten plates thus far published contain figures of 25 hitherto unfigured 

 species . . The importance and usefulness of the present work cannot 

 be easily overestimated The execution of the "Biologia" as re- 

 gards typography and illustrations. . . is excellent. . . .■ — J. A. A. * Bull.
