20 THE AUSTRAL AVIAN RECORD [Vol. V. 



JAROCKI AGAIN. 



By Gregory M. Mathews and Tom Iredale. 



Our friend, Dr. C. W. Richmond, having acquired another 

 work by Jarocki, forwarded it to Mr. C. 1). Slierborn and 

 requested us to report upon it as we had dealt with another 

 work by the same author. 



The present work was published in 1819, two years before 

 Jarocki published Ms Zoologiia, and presents a straightforward 

 little Synopsis of Birds, based on Cuvier\s system. It begins 

 with a dedication (2 pages), then " Laskawy Czytelniku!" 

 (2 pages), and 1 page " Tlomaczenie wyrazow skroconych " 

 (a list of abbreviations used for works cited), 1 page " Ostrzezenie 

 (Corrections). Then follows 69 pages with the orders and 

 genera diagnosed in Polish with a list of species, names only, 

 in Latin with authority quoted. The equivalent of the 

 generic name in Latin is given in Polish, French, German and 

 English. The equivalent of the Latin specific name is given 

 in Polish only witli the locality. 



There are two new genera, two new species, a few new specific 

 names and some different spellings. 



The title page reads '" Spis Ptak6w/w Gabinecie Zoologicznym
