"John batterer has been called a modelti-aveller, and the most energetic and successful 

 ornithological collector that ever lived. He explored Brazil from 1817 to 1835, securing 12,293 

 bird-skins, beautifully prepared and fully labelled, representing about 1,200 spp., besides 

 registering various additional items of information. He died in his prime, on his return to 

 Europe, leaving his oolleotion, almost untouched, in the Imperial Cabinet of Zoology at Tienna. 

 For nearly thirty years little was done to render his labors available in the cause of science,' 

 though instances of '3!fatt. MSS.' were of not infrequent occurrence in different quarters. 

 Upon the accession of Pelzeln to the charge of the collection, he began to work upou the 

 material, and publish the results, with selections from batterer's MSS. His numerous papers, 

 whi)3h -were received with favor, may be considered preliminary to the present work, which 

 undertakes a complete exposition of Natterer's labors and results."
