1840-44. AuDUBOx, J. J.— ConliDued. 



make-tip of the volumes were introdacod in succesaivo issues ; und the numera 

 tion of all the 8vo plates ia the same, however indifferent the coloring may be 

 found in some of the late issues. 



This work consists of the original "Ornithological Biography" ; with omiss'ou 

 of tlie "Delineations of American scenery and manners ", which were interpo- 

 lated in the original; with systematic rearrangement of the articles ; with changes 

 in nomenclature of the genera and species to conform with the authors Synopsis 

 of 1839 ; and with addition, in the 7th vol., of an appenfdx containing a number of 

 species not described or figured in the original. The plates arc reduced by the 

 camera lucida from the originals. in folio, systematically rearranged and renum- 

 bered, conformably with the sequence of the species in the t«xt, in which they are 

 interpolated. In quoting Audubon's platea, therefore, it ia necessary to state 

 whether the numbering of the foLo or 8vo series is meaLt. In the original folios, 

 there are only 435 pll. ,■ in the present 8vo ed., there are 483, exclusive of the 17 

 additional ones in the Appendix (500 in .ill). The discrepancy arises from the 

 fact that ill the original several species were occasionally introduced on the same 

 plate, but all such being given a separate plate in this edition. The additional 

 speciea of this edition are the following, being chiefly those procured during 

 the author's journey to the Upper Missouri in 1843 -.—FringiUa harrUdi, p. 331,

 six exceptions noted, ai-e spp. nn. An index to the whole work concludes vol. VII. 



If a trace of sentiment be permissible in bibliography, I should say that the 

 completion of this splendid series of plates with the name bairdvi was significant ; 

 the glorious Audnbonian sun bad set indeed, but in the dedicating of the species 

 to " his young friend Spencek F. Baikd" the sceptre was handed to one who was 

 to wield it with a force that no other ornithologist of America has ever exercised.
