This bibliographical description will suffice to give some idea of 

 the nature and extent of the work. It is only necessary to add that 

 in the first 2 volumes, under each Linnjean genus, alphabetically 

 arranged, the species are enumerated under their Latin names in 

 alphabetical order and the vernacular names in different languages 

 added under the Latin ones. Thus, under Anas boschas domestica, 

 as ''Engl,''' 12 names applied to the subspecies as a whole in 

 English as well as Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish, 3 of the drake, and 

 3 of the young are given ; under Anas boschas /era 4 names are 

 given as Engi:^ 



It cannot be claimed that the English part is well done but the 

 author at least " thought it necessary to prepare a synonymy of 

 the vernacular names of animals" and carried the idea into execution 

 in a very voluminous work. 



Another noteworthy work carrying out the same idea for certain 

 North American birds is Gurdon Trumbull's volume on " Names and 

 Portraits of Birds which interest gunners," published in 1888. 



Numerous minor contributions to the same subject have been 

 published.
