BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
This is the most interesting Australian bird book yet known, as it appears to be the 
first hook devoted to Natural History printed and published in Australia. I have given 
fulldetailsasfarasknownintheEmu, Yol. XV., pp. 33-34,1915, and have nothing to add. 
Eighteen plates are included and no Latin names are given, which proves these 
were added in London. The plates are dated 1804 and 1805 and two substitutions 
have been affected, plate vm., figuring Pipia gularis , being omitted and the Crested 
Shrike figured instead, the plates being in a different order, so that plate xiv. shows 
the Warty-face Honey-eater, and upon this plate there are not the additional cuts 
of the head and tongue which caused so much confusion. Again, plate xvni. is that 
of the Mountain Bee-eater, but this is a different picture and, while the text is on 
paper water-marked “ 1809,” the plate is water-marked “ 1811.” 
A Natural History of the Birds of New South Wales, 4to, London, 1822. 
This was issued after Lewin’s death and twenty-six plates are included, the original 
eighteen of the 1808 edition with the dates scratched off the plates, no Latin names, 
and in some cases the vernacular names are “ improved.” 
The pagination, moreover, agrees with that of the plates, and the additional species 
are : Scarlet Creeper, pi. xix., White-eared Honey-Sucker, pi. xx., Crested Flycatcher, 
pi. xxi., White-breasted Honey-Sucker, pi. xxn., Yellow-breasted Thrush, pi. xxm., 
Black-crowned Honey-Sucker, pi. xxiv., Common Creeper, pi. xxv., and Crested Shrike, 
pi. XXVI. 
This edition is fairly accessible and is often quoted, but another edition : 
A Natural History of the Birds of New South Wales, collected, engraved and 
faithfully painted after Nature. New and improved Edition, to which is added 
a List of the Synonymes of each Species, incorporating the labours 
of T.=J. Gould, N. A. Vigors, T. Horsfield and W. Swainson. Edited by 
T. C. Eyton, folio, London, 1838, 
is the more usual one. 
This is a poorly coloured edition of the 1822 issue, but the List of Synonymes is 
valuable as it contains the name Galamoherpe australis. 
There is in existence a reprint of this issue which does not even bear any altered 
date, simply 1838, but the plates are printed on paper water-marked 1875, and the 
colouring is poor and valueless.

This periodical, first issued in 1879, and issued irregularly in leaflets (?) many times 
a year, now bears a different title. 
In the first number Sharpe published, Jan. 1879, under the title, p. 29, Pseudogerygone 
rubra, introduced the genus name Pseudogerygone , naming Gerygone personata as the type. 
Many articles on New Guinea birds in it.

As regards ornithology is famous in connection with the Sale Catalogues issued 
from the Museum, and the present account purports to be the most complete to date, 
for which I have to thank Dr. C. W. Richmond. Refer Birds Austr., Vol. VI.,
