Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Leach's Systematic Catalogue of the Specimens of the Indigenous Mammalia and Birds in the British Museum: With Their Localities and Authorities
The only copy of this Catalogue that I have seen is in a volume of Pamphlets in the Zoological Department of the British Museum, and from it this reprint has been taken. The chief value of the latter is rather of a negative character, as shewing the worthlessness of the Tract, and that far higher consideration has been set upon it by writers on European birds than it at all merits.
