As explained last year \ibid^\ the parts of the above work, though bearing 
dates of years from 1879-82, were not really issued till 1882. A supple- 
mentary volume of plates was also published, to be exchanged for those 
previously given in the second tome of vol. i. of the atlas. The text of 
the ornithological portion of this great work is carried to the end of the 
Bulbuls [pp. 177-376], and the species figured are noticed under the heads 
of the families to which they belong.
