APPENDICES. 
Atjstr. Mxjs. Catalogues. Catalogues on various subjects were 
issued by tbe Australian Museum, those referring to birds being entitled 
Catalogue No. 4. Four parts were issued as follows : pt. i, Accipitres, 
1876 ; pt. n, Striges, 1890 ; pt. m., Psittaci, 1891 ; and pt. iv., Picarise, 
1894. A second edition of pts. i. and n. was issued on 1898. This 
was edited and corrected by A. J. North, the first four parts being 
prepared by E. P. Ramsay. 
Catalogue No. 12 was issued for North’s Nests and Eggs of Birds 
breeding in Austraha and Tasmania, and an entirely new edition of this 
was pubUshed as Austr. Mus. Special Catalogue, No. 1. I give details 
of these under the author’s name. North. 
Bartram. Travels in Carolina, 1791. German translation in 1793

Bechstein. Ornith. Taschenh. Vol. I., 1802. Vol. II., 1803. Accord- 
ing to Richmond (3), p. 581 footnote, reviewed in the Allg. Lit. Zeitung,

Billberg. Synopsis Faunce Scandinavice. Contents of this rare work 
have been given in the Austral Avian Record, Vol. II., pts. 2 and 3, 
Oct. 23, 1913, pp. 33-48, but the date, 1828, is only as yet known. 
Blyth. Cat. Birds Mus. Asiatic Society. The title page is dated 
1849, but preface indicates that such was printing date only, and this is 
dated June 20, 1852. The facts are that the book was set up and 
proof sheets printed off in 1849, and these were sent to speciahsts in 
Europe for correction : all such were added in Appendices, which appear in 
front of the text proper ; a footnote on p. ix. quotes the Revue Zool., 1851. 
Boddaert. Tdbl. des Planch. Enlum. The preface is dated Dec. 1, 
1783. Some notes on this book appeared in the Austral Avian Record, 
Vol. Ill, No. 2, Nov. 19, 1915, pp. 31-51. 
Boie. Two important articles appeared in the Isis (Oken), the first 
in Heft 5, May 1822, the other in Heft 10, October 1826. 
Bonaparte. There is much difficulty in connection with the many 
and complex writmgs of this brilliant ornithologist. A peculiarity, which 
needs care in acceptance, was his correction in his separata. Many 
articles printed in the Comptes Rendus Acad. Sci. Pans, were later issued 
with additions incorporated, and such give trouble. In his well-known 
unfinished work, the Conspectus Qmerum Avium, he dated his manuscript, 
and these were accepted as dates of pubh cation until I pointed out the 
error.
