THE late Mr. Henry SEEBOHM may ђе said to have devoted a period of twenty years 
to the study of the Thrushes, а family of Birds in which he took a great interest, 
ever since the publication in 1881 of the fifth volume of the < Catalogue of Birds, of 
which he was the Author. | 
He possessed ап unusually fine collection of Thrushes, which he has bequeathed, 
with the rest of his Collection, to the British Museum, and at the time of his death 
the MSS. of the * MoxoanaPH or тнк TURDIDA, which he contemplated publishing, had 
been begun and nearly all the plates were coloured. ; I 
The Publishers having acquired the whole stock of the work, have secured the Ta 
: : : "I 
co-operation of Mr. Вкквонмв old friend, Dr. BOWDLER SHARPE, who was his constant 
companion during the preparation of the *Monograph. He will therefore be able to 
superintend the publication of the work on the lines intended by its late author. 
The Plates have all been drawn by Mr. KEULEMANS, and, in the opinion of the 
Publishers, will be found to be the most beautiful illustrations ever designed by that 
talented artist. 
The work will be in Imperial 4to and will be issued to Subscribers in 12 Parts, 
each containing 12 Coloured Plates. Тһе price of each Part will be £1 168. Od. net,

The whole edition cannot exceed Two Hundred and Fifty Copies, all of which uu 
the Publishers anticipate will be subscribed for before the work is completed. 
Subscribers names (for the whole Work) will be received бу the Publier. Ши
