584 BIBUOGEAPHICAL APPENDIX. 1771-1772 [l8 



1771. Catesby, M.— Continued. 



Folio. Vol. I, coBtaining the Birds and PJaDts, 2 p. 11., pp. i-vii, 1-100, -(- 2 pp. 

 of LiniiEBaii Index, with pll. 1-100 intercalated with text opposite each page — 

 the numeration of the pll. being same as the pagination. Vol. II contains the 

 Mammals, etc. ; bnt the Appendix, pp. 101-120, -|- 3 pp., contains a few additional 

 birds, raising the total number treated to 113. Text in English and French, 

 in parallel colamns ; birds presented under names in both these languages, 

 but primarily imder Latin polynomial names. This is a later "revised" and 

 bettered edition (original edition, 1731-48), with Linnaean concordance at end of 

 each volume. The plates, though violent both in drawing and coloring, like 

 the Fl. Hjilum., are recognizable almost without exception ; most of the species 

 treated were described and figured for the first time in the original edition, 

 which furnished the source of many Linnaaan species. The work is classic, 

 conspicuous in merit inter congeneres aui temporis, and indispensable for occa- 

 sional consultation.

A scarce tract. It contains, of birds, a nominal list of 302 spp., some 

 named binomially, others not, with references to Pennant, Catesby, Edwards, etc. 

 The list, in connection with those of other classes of animals, is surprisingly 

 extensive, besides being the first of its kind. Many of the birds are marked 

 "n.s."; these names are given by permission from Pennant's MSS., and this 

 is actually the original appearance in print of various species subsequently 

 described by Pennant; bat as neither scientific names are imposed upon them, 

 nor descriptions appended, the brochure remains simply a literary curiosity, 

 which need not be referred to except as such. The plate is a fair likeness of 

 Falco sparverius, 



1772. FoESTEE, J. E. An Account of the Birds sent from Hudson's Bay; with 

 Observations relative to their Natural History ; and Latin Descrip- 

 tions of some of the most uncommon. \ Philoa. Trans. Land., Ixii, 

 1772, art. xxix, pp. 382-433. 



Fifty-eight species noticed, with descriptive and biographical matter. The 

 second part of the article, containing the above-mentioned Latin descriptions, is 

 separately entitled " Descriptiones Avium Bariorum e Sinu Hudsonis", and is 

 at pp. 423-433. The following seven are new species : — Falco S; adiceus, p. 383 ; 

 Strix Nebulosa, pp. 386, 424 ; Emberiza Lencophrys, pp. 403, 426 ,■ Eringilla Hud- 

 Bonias, pp. 406, 428 ; Muscicapa Striata, pp. 406, 428 ; Parus Hudsonicns, pp. 408, 

 430 ; Scolopax Borealis, pp. 411, 431. Several other actually new species are indi- 

 cated varietally without names, or under names of other known species "to which 

 they are wrongly referred . " Tnrdus no. 22 ", p. 400, is an early, if not the first, no- 

 tice of ^coiecopAa^its/cmtf^iTieu*, as "Hirundo, 35" is of Petrochelidon lunifnms.
