Abstract
WE have been favoured with a copy of the third and final fasciculus of this superbly illustrated work, of which the first part was noticed in our issue of August 22, 1901. The present fasciculus includes plates 25-48, which are executed in the same first-class style as their predecessors, and a re-issue of the descriptions of the entire series, together with several well-arranged indices. We can add little in the way of commendation to what has been already written in our notices of the two earlier issues. Throughout the work the figures are for the most part well drawn, and coloured with such a near approximation to nature as to render the various species easily recognisable. That the work will tend to promote the study of Brazilian ornithology cannot be doubted, and the author is to be heartily congratulated on having given to the world such a splendid series of portraits of the most striking representatives of a tropical bird-fauna.
