This fabulous work on parrots was first published in parts, thirty in all, which are very rare. The bound publication was intended to include a fourth volume but it was never published. The last three parts with 9 plates are therefore almost impossible to find. Fine Bird Books 79; Nissen 393; Wood, p. 368; Zimmer p. 274.
