Abstract
THE practice of translating into English memoirs by leading foreign naturalists that may be considered classical is to be highly commended. English ornithologists who are not conversant with German may thus study such important works in their branch of science as Nitzsch's “Pterylographie” and Johannes Müller's “Voice Organs of Passeres,” of both of which excellent English translations exist.
Sundevall's Tentamen [Methodi naturalis avium disponendarum tentamen].
Translated into English, with Notes, by Francis Nicholson., &c. (London: R. H. Porter, 1889.)
