Between 1863-1900 he had published 256 articles on his own compilation including 
the invaluable work entitled : 
Ornitologia della Papuasia e delle Molucche, 4to, 3 vols. andSuppl., Turin, 1800-1891. 
The first volume appeared in the 
Memorie Real Accad. Sci. Torino, Ser. 2, Vol. XXXIII., pt. i.-xn., 1-576. 
The preface is dated June 15th, 1879, but the title-page is dated 1880, and the part 
was received at the British Museum in August 1881. Separate copies, however, bear 
the date 1881, and it is included by Salvadori in his writings as being published in 1880. 
Vol. II., pt. i.-xvi., pp. 1-707, pref. May 1881, was issued as a separate publication 
in 1881, and Vol. III., pt. i.-xv., pp. 1-595, pref. date Dec. 1882, was separately issued 
in 1883. 
The Supplement came out in three parts in the Memorie again and was then separately 
paged continuously as commonly met with.
