Dr. Ilartlaub^s Twenty-second Annual Report on Ornithology 
claims, as usual, the first plaee in our long list of works. We 
are glad to find that he has abandoned the arrangement he 
adopted a few years since (Zool. Record, iii. p. 44) , and has 
in this Report followed one in defence of whieh more ean be 
said — at least by ourselves. 
Crotch, G. R. Letter concerning the dates at which the various 
livraisons of Temminck and Laugier^s ^ Nouveau Recueil de 
Planches coloriees d^Oiseaux * were published. Ibis, 1868, 
pp. 499, 500. 
Of the hundred and two livraisons of which this work con- 
sisted, the exact date of publication of all but nine (and even 
of these approximately) is given. With this table before him, 
the student has no difficulty in ascertaining the date of almost 
any name applied by Temminck j for each sheet bears with its 
signature the number of the livraison in Avhich it appeared. 
The utility of this table is self-evident, particularly as it turns 
out there was considerable irregularity in the publication : thus 
Livr. 41 was published 27 Dec. 1823, and Livr. 43, 28 Feb. 
1824, while Livr. 42 did not appear till 26 Feb. 1825 !

English publishers till the middle of May 1869 j so that, with every dispo- 
sition to strain a point in its favour, we have felt ourselves compelled to ex- 
clude its contents from the present Record. The ‘ Proceedings ’ of the 
Philadelphia Academy we have not been able to see entire ; and for a know- 
ledge of such of the papers included in them as we have noticed we are in- 
debted to the kindness of theh authors.
