The Birds of Europe

Abstract

THE completion of the first volume of this important work by the issue of Parts xi. and xii., affords the authors an opportunity of expressing their determination to continue the monthly issue with as much punctuality as is compatible with the fulness and accuracy at which they aim. This volume has occupied eighteen months in its publication; but as it contains 101 coloured plates and about 800 or 900 pages of letterpress of large quarto size, the wonder is rather that so near an approach to regularity has been attained in a work which is taking so much larger dimensions than was at first anticipated.

The Birds of Europe.

By R. B. Sharpe H. E. Dresser. Parts xi. and xii. (Published privately.)
