it is great Pity they had not had fome 
able Perfon in London to have fuper- 
vifed them, that they might have 
given better Likenefies to the Birds 
than what moft of them have. But 
this is what Mr. Ray could only com- 
plain of, but not help, by reaibn 
of his being in Warwickjhire^ at a 
Diftance from London ^ where every 
Thing was tranfadled by Letters ; a 
Method which could never alford 
fufficient Diredlions in a Matter of 
that Nature. 
Having given an Account of the 
Publication of the Ornithology in 1 6 75 
and 1678, let us return again to the 
Years 1675 and 1676; about 
which Time the old Lady Willughby 
(Mother of Mr. Francis Willughby)- 
died, and Mr. Willughby % Sons being 
removed from under Mr. Ray % Tui-
