“ The object of the present publication (says the Author), is in the first instance to make known and record in an
•eligible form the vast accessions which Science has latterly acquired from this portion of the globe; and in order to render
it of real value and utility to the men of Science of all countries, he has given, besides a Latin and English description,
measurements, synonyms, etc., a figure of the head of the natural size of every species, a feature not to be found in
preceding Works of a similar nature, and by which each bird may at once be distinguished, hitherto a matter of some
-difficulty, particularly in those that are nearly allied.”
A HANDBOOK TO THE BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA.
Two Volumes Imperial Octavo, Cloth, Price £2. 10s.
The Author says that since the publication of his “ folio work on ‘ The Birds of Australia,’ many new species have
'been discovered, and much additional information acquired respecting those comprised therein ; it therefore appeared to
him that a careful resume of the entire subject in an octavo form, without plates, would be useful to the possessor of the
folio edition, as well as to the many persons in Australia who are now turning their attention to the Ornithology of the
country in which they are resident.”
“ The two volumes (he also says) contain a considerable amount of interesting information, and descriptions o f man v
species not in the folio edition.”
