16. Milne-Edwards and GrandidiePs ^ Madagascar.^ 
[Histoire Physique, Natiirelle et Politique de Madagascar, publi^e par 
Alfred Grandidier. Vol. xiii. Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux par MM. 
Alph. Milne-Edwards et Alf. Grandidier. Tom. ii. Atlas.—^1, partie. 
4to: Paris, 1876. Imprimerie Nationale.] 
Of this extensive undertaking, which, when completed, will 
embrace no less than twenty-eight large 4to volumes, we have 
as yet only seen one of the livraisons relating to the Birds. 
This is the first part of the Atlas, containing seventy plates, 
coloured and uncoloured. While the osteological and anato¬ 
mical plates are very good, we cannot say so much in favour 
of the coloured lithographs, which are stiflp and unnatural. 
The portrait of Eutriorchis astur is an exception, being the 
production of Mr. Keulemans^s talented pencil. They repre¬ 
sent the following species :— 
Coracopsis obscura, C. nigra. 
Psittacula madagascariensis. 
Haliaetus vociferoides. 
Eutriorchis astur. 
Falco zoniventris, F. concolor. 
Tinnunculus newtoni. 
Polyboroides radiatus. 
Baza madagascariensis. 
Buteo brachypterus. 
Machaeramphus andersoni. 
Circus macrosceles, C. maillardi. 
Astur hensti, A. francesi, A. mo 
relii. 
We hope soon to be able to report upon the letterpress of 
this important work.
