A BIBLIOGRAPHY OP 
[CHARLETON 
Severn with, small shot. To his Exercitationes, 1677, which 
may be looked on as a third edition of the Onomasticon, 
he affixed by way of an Appendix a treatise entitled 
“De | Colornm differentiis & nominibus, | deque | Pilorum 
Plumarumque Coloribus.” 
This is not only a very remarkable composition for the 
date at which it was written, but contains much that is 
of importance and value even now ; while its completeness 
may be shown by the fact that the author is able to classify 
no less than eleven shades of white (with their Latin 
and English names), eighteen of yellow, and sixteen of red. 
Charleton, in short, seems to have been a man of high ability 
and greatly in advance of his day.

Although the above has been described as practically a third 
edition of the Onomasticon, it contains very considerable emenda- 
tions and additions besides the appendix above referred to. 
The number of plates of birds is extended from six to eight, 
those of the “ sea pheasant ” (Shoveller) and Balearic Crane, 
which is entitled “ Grus Japanica,” being added to the six figured 
in the Onomasticon, viz. Crossbill, Sandgrouse, Ortolan, 
Hawfinch, Bee-eater, and Hoopoe.
