PUBLISHERS NOTE. 
Messrs. H. SorHERAN & Co. have great pleasure in issuing these the final Parts of the 
HISTORY OF THE THRUSHES. That it should have taken a longer time to do so than 
was foreshadowed in the original Prospectus they cannot but regret, though it was 
owing to causes over which they had no control. Neither the Plates nor Text proved 
to be as perfect or complete as they believed when beginning the publication, and 
moreover a number of new species have since been discovered and have been either 
figured or deseribed, thus increasing the Editor’s labour as well as their own expenditure. 
They hope, therefore, that the result will prove all the more satisfactory to the 
Subscribers, notwithstanding the increased price of this, the concluding (double) Part.
