SYSTEMATIC CATALOGUE 
produced a work — his Ornithological Biography 
tinguished by beauty of style, and perspicuity of n arf - 
tive. It is descriptive of the plates in the unrivalled 
entitled The Birds of America. We say unrivJ*® 
because few naturalists and artists have appeared y , 
could represent accurately the external forms, attitu®? 
form and style of distribution of the plumage of hit * 
and scarcely any one, except Audubon, has succeeded , 
presenting, to the eye and imagination, the passions 
feelings of these interesting beings. Wilson, altho^ 
a fascinating writer, and an accurate observer ot ^ 
habits and manners of the feathered creation, caod 
be considered as an effective ornithological painter* 
In order that the volumes of the Miscellany on ^ 
Birds of America , may be as complete as circuinstam ? 
will allow of, we shall now lay before our reader 8 \ 
systematic catalogue of the birds drawn and descrd^, 
by Audubon; also, some notices of the new specie 8 ^ 
has discovered, and a few interesting details from
