Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Osteology of Birds
In years gone by I find I have published a number Of illustrated notes, papers and one or two more or less extensive memoirs on the raptorial birds, the Old World vultures and the American Cathartidae. Nearly all Of these were Of an osteological character, and will be utilized or more or less incorporated into the present work. In doing this a few Of my former figures will be reproduced, but beyond: this all the text cuts illustrating the present treatise are entirely new, and have not heretofore been published anywhere, and this is the case with all of the figures upon the plates.
