Thousb someUmes spoken of as tlie llrst edition of parte 1 find 2 of tbe ' Birds of Australia ' the above Is quite a di- 
stinct work, as 7 of the plates were not repoateii In Uio larger Work, and several oanirs were wholly redrawn with drtterent 
backgrounds. Dr. Bowdlcr Sharpe .says in the Memoir prefixed to his index to Oonld'a Works, ‘ he speedily found that 
hehad not siifliclentmaterial to carry on the work nshu wished It to be done, and he thei-efore boldly conceived the 
notion of leaving England with bis wife, for the purpose of procuring tlie specimens necessary for the completion of bis 
gigantic antorprUe. The work was therefore stopped after the appearance of part 2, and these 2 cmceUeS parte of GotiM s
