 Cap. i-ccxxix, treats of some 229 birds of Mexico, giving short descriptions, etc., 

 of each. 



This famous work is cited by bibliographers and naturalists in such uncertain 

 ways, occasioning so much confusion, that I have thought best to give a reason- 

 ably full collation of the volume, and a complete exposition of the ornithological 

 matter it contains. It will be observed that the volume has two very different 

 titles for the same work, in the composition of which several authors are con- 

 cerned ; and that there are two very different works, separately paged, in the 

 same volume. The copy examined is lettered on the cover ' ' Hecchi Hist. Mexici ". 

 The date, 1651, is that of a later ed., as I find the work cited [is of 1628, g. v.

 dowes at the | Green Dragon in St. Pauls Church yard, 1672. 



The foregoing title is taken from what is supposed to be a facsimile of the 

 original, in the Arclueologia Americana, or IVcww. and Coll. Amer, Antiq. Soc. 

 vol, iv, where the literal reprint occupies pp. 133-238. The collation of the origi- 

 nal is given by Field as " 24° Frontispiece, a dragon. Title and dedication, each 

 1 leaf. Text pp. 1 to 114. Advertisement, 1 leaf." 



Pages 6-13 treat "First, of Birds", giviilg an account, more curious than edi- 

 fying, of a number of New ]Bogland species, ending with "What Birds are not 

 to be foond in New England ". The acconnt is interlarded with fanciful recipes 

 for curing diseases — and indeed the ornithology itself is not mnch less imagin- 

 ary. Among other species are treated the "Troculns" (OhcBtura), "Pilhannaw", 

 and the " Wobble". The last is interesting as attesting the then occurrence of 

 Alca impennia in New England.
