Edilio yrincqis— scarce, and seldom actually consulted, though cnnstantly quoted. Sonuini's 

 French translation, Paris, 1809, is oftener handled. Azara describes 418 simiis, all unfortu- 

 nately under Spanish names only, as many of tUeni are here published for the fii-st time, and 

 form the original basis of many binomial names later bestmved by Ticillot, Tomminck. Liehten- 

 Btein, and others, to -K-hioh, in the nature of the case, ranch uncertainty and no Itttle confusion 

 attaches in many instances. Hartlaub has published an invaluable Systematic Index (Bre- 

 men, 1847) to Azara, identifying the species as far as possible, -n-ith a concordance of ed. 

 princ. and ed. Sonniiri, and a considerable synonymy. From the latter I quote the foUowin" 



referring to the learned and accurate commentator himself for ftirther particulars : *'
