Plotus of Linnaeus, Anhinga of Brijfon, VI. 476. 
The intention of giving a plate to every genus of this work, was 
entirely fuperfeded by the confideration of a New Ornitho- 
logy, undertaken by Mr. John Latham , of Dartford. In that 
comprehenfive attempt, every fpecies of bird will be fully de- 
scribed and one or more figures will be given, explanatory of 
each genus: Mr. Latham's knowlege of the fubje6l, and the 
labor he has bellowed on it, will doubtlefsly render it worthy 
of the attention of the public.
