ASIATIC BIRDS 



Fifty -Four Specimens {hand-coloured afternature) selected from " The Birds of Asia" of the late 



JOHN GOULD, F.R.S., F.Z.S., etc. 



With their full descriptions. One volume, Imperial folio. Half Morocco 



super extra, gilt edges, j£l2, I2S. nett. 



The above handsome work will be found to convey a very good idea of the great extent and yarietyof Asiatic 

 Ornithology, as it includes examples both of the larger and more splendid, and of the smaller and homeher, Asiatic birds. 

 It also puts some of the most beautiful specimens of Mr. Gould's artistic skill within the reach of the general public, 

 which, now that nearly all his works are out of print, is otherwise almost impossible ; while it forms one of the handsomest 

 gift-books to be imagined. 



A HANDBOOK TO THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA 



By JOHN GOULD,' F.R.S., F.Z.S., etc. 

 Two Volumes, Imperial octavo, Cloth, £2, lOS. nett. 



The Author says that since the publication of his "folio work on The Birds of Australia, many new species have 

 been discovered, and much additional information acquired respecting those comprised therein ; it therefore appeared to 

 him that a careful rhumi of the whole subject in an octavo form, without plates, would be useful to the possessor of the 

 folio edition, as well as to the many persons in Australia who are now turning their attention to the Ornithology of the 

 country in which they are resident." . . 



" The two volumes (he also says) contain a considerable amount of interesting information, and descriptions of many 

 species not in the folio edition. " 



A SYNOPSIS OF THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA 

 AND THE ADJACENT ISLANDS 



By JOHN GOULD, F.R.S., F.Z.S., etc. 



Containing 73 Coloured Plates, with copious descriptions. One Volume, Imperial octavo. 



Newly bound in Half Morocco, gilt edges, J65 nett. 



Whole Morocco extra, gilt edges, j£6, 6s. nett. 



" The object of the present publication (says the Author) is in the first instance to make known and record in an 

 eligible form the vast accessions which Science has latterly acquired from this portion of the globe ; and in order to render 

 it of real value and utility to the men of Science of all countries, he has given, besides a Latin and English description, 

 measurements, synonyms, etc., a figure of the head, of the natural size, of every species, a feature not to be found in 

 preceding works of a similar nature, and by which each bird may at once be distinguished, hitherto a matter of some 

 difficulty, particularly in those that are nearly allied." 



This Work {even more than the " Handbook ") should be in the hands of every Adstralian Colonist 

 who cares for the Natural History of his country, as the Descriptions and Illustrations enable him to identify with ease 

 the various Birds he may come across in his out-of-door life.
