The writer remarks on p. 37 : “For much information respect- 
ing British Ornithology, the Author is indebted to the Catalogue 
and collection of Edward Forster, jun.” The legend “ Finis ” 
then follows, but the pamphlet also contains a “ Catalogue and 
Generic Division of British Birds,” thus extending to 64 pp. in all. 
E. Forster’s own copy, which we have handled, stops at p. 37. 
The provincial names occur here as in E. Forster’s Catalogue in 
the 1817 edit, of the “ Swallows.”
