Griffith, Edward. —Bom 1790. Died 1858. Animal Kingdom, arranged in conformity 
with its organisation by the Baron Cuvier, with Additional Descriptions of all the species 
hitherto named, and of many not before noticed. Sub-title : The Class Aves, with 
specific descriptions by Griffith and Pidgeon, the additional species inserted in the text of 
Cuvier by John Edward Gray. 
This work was issued in parts,, the bird portion being bound up in three volumes 
with title pages, 1829. The plates are dated from November 1827 to January 1830, 
and three parts went to a volume : Part XIY. of the w T ork, part i. of birds, appeared 
Bee. 1st, 1827 ; pt. 15, March 31st, 1828 : pt. 16, August 6th, 1828 (including 18 plates); 
pt. 19, May 21st, 1829; pt. 20, Aug. 15th, 1829 (16 plates) ; pt. 21, Oct. 31st, 1829 
(21 plates); the three volumes of birds, Jan. 23rd, 1830. We have therefore for the 
volumes as generally met with, Yol. I. before Aug. 6th, 1828 ; Vol. II., before May 21st, 
1829; Vol. III. before Jan. 23rd, 1830. 
As noted already the birds were written up by J. E. Gray, and through his bad spelling 
(and he apparently paid little attention, if any, to proof reading) numerous misprints 
occur. The new names are Emou, Aptenodytes australis , Crex plumbea , and Otis australis. 
Ilirundo pacifica , not of Latham. 
Many original drawings of previously unfigured birds occur, as Philedon corniculatus , 
Mus. Bonn (not corniculatus Latham), Grallina melanoleuca (Mus. Paris), Ptilorhynchus 
madeayii (Linn. Soc.), Malurus gularis, Acanthiza nana , Malums exilis , New Holland
