Sir William Jardine^ witli the co-operation of 
P. . 1 . Selby, Esq. has in preparation the first Fascicu- 
lus of a Second Series of Illustrations of new and in- 
teresting species, together with the different forms of 
the Class AVIS, with a prospective glance at an il- 
lustrated Genera Avium. These Fasciculi will con- 
tain from eight to ten Plates in each, royal imperial 
4to size, coloured in the most careful manner. The 
first will soon appe.ar, when a more minutely detailed 
view of the intentions of the Editors will be given. 
In the mean time, some of the Plates in the first Part 
arc taken from very exquisite Drawings of specimens 
in the collection of the Earl of Derby, the British Mu- 
seum, &c. by Mr Lear. 
The Editors request that the Ornithologists of this 
country would favour them with the use of any unde- 
scribed or rare species, or with drawings, and any in- 
formation regarding them which they may possess, ac- 
knowledgments for which favours will be made in the 
Work, and the specimens carefully returned. 
Communications to be forwarded to the Publisher,
