A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF

British bird book, although it includes a considerable number of 
British species. 
Idem. Another edition of both works, text in English and 
French, large paper, with 362 coloured plates of birds, etc., 7 vols. 
folio, 1802-5. 
Of this large paper issue only 25 copies were printed, with the 
plates carefully coloured to resemble drawings. Canon Tristram’s 
copy, which we have seen, contained a note from Bohn with 
receipt for the sum of £20 originally paid for the copy and an 
interesting 4 pp. holograph letter from Prof. A. Newton referring 
among other matters to this folio edition, of the existence of 
which he says he was unaware.

from Belgrave, near Leicester, April 1868, while the author 
apparently afterwards resided at The Brand, Loughborough. 
The work includes notices of Waterton, local notes on birds, 
etc. He also wrote some letters to the Times on bird pro- 
tection, which will be found reprinted in the Bev. F. O. 
Morris’s Gamekeeper’ s Museum (1864).

Elms (Edward Furness Marson), nat. 1878 
Mr. Elms, an architect, residing at Sutton, Surrey, was 
born in 1878 at Witney, Oxon, and was educated at Clifton 
College. He has published nothing since his Pocket Book 
(1906), as he finds his time too much occupied in his pro- 
fession, but his hobby still finds an outlet in his garden aviary, 
where he keeps a few British and many foreign birds.
