Thanks to the pains taken by Mr. Crotch (Ibis, 1868, p. 500), we are now acquainted 

 with the dates at which the livraisons of this work were issued. Although some of the 

 Kingfishers were described as early as 1823, they do not seem to have been known to 

 Bonnaterre and Vieillot ; nor do these authors appear to have been acquainted with the 

 present work.
