BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
Penny Cyclopedia (Knight).—In this periodical, published in penny numbers, many good 
zoological articles accompanied by clear drawings appear. It was published in 4to 
in London, and I have 27 vols. and two supplements =29 vols., 1833-43, 1845, 1846. 
In Vol. XXIII., 1842, the name Dromaius parvulus Gould was quoted, but I have 
not noted any other innovations in connection with ornithology. 
The success of this publication enabled Knight to publish many other works, using 
the same letterpress and blocks, such as 44 The Museum of Animated Nature ” ; this 
was made up in different style as the 44 English Cyclopaedia,” divided into sections, 
Section II. being Natural History, in 4 vols., 1854-56, all the natural history articles 
of the Penny Cyclopaedia being reprinted with additions and alterations, and in this 
reprint the name D. parvulus is omitted. 
Perks.— Australian Ornithologist. 
A collection of birds in the British Museum from Perks are all labelled South Australia 
because Perks lived there.

The first volume was written by Peron, and the second was completed by Louis 
Freycinet as Peron died in 1810 and Lesueur edited his papers, but the authorship of 
the volume is Freycinet’s.

France, Sept. 16th, 1803 ; Mauge, zoologist, died at He Maria, Feb. 21st, 1802 ; 
Peron survived ; Levillain, zoologist, died at sea Dec. 29th, 1801 ; Depuch, mineralogist,
