PROSPECTUS. 



The Author's collectors have been actively engaged for some years past in exploring the Islands of the Hawaiian 

 Archipelago, and many species of birds, new to science have been discovered by them; these, with others, will 

 be figured in a series of about 46 Hand-coloured Plates— most of which will be delineated by that master-hand 

 Air. J. G. KEULEMANS, and others, including tinted Plates, are entrusted to Mr. F. W. Eiioiiawk's careful 

 1 reatment. 



In addition to the above, a most interesting series of Collotype Photographs, showing various phases of bird-life 

 and landscape, will be included in the Volume. 



The size of the book will be imperial 4to, and will be issued in 3 Parts, price £3 3s. each, net. 



As no separate Parts will be sold, Subscribers are expected to continue their Subscriptions until the work 

 is completed. 



The Edition is limited to 250 Copies.
