Condition Report: Seemingly complete. Confusion arises because in volume 3, Icterine Warbler and Polyglot Warbler are listed separately in the "Contents" (there is no separate list of plates), but both these birds appear on the same plate at p. 218 (although the Polyglot Warbler is listed on the plate as Melodius Warbler - In the text description on p. 219 the Polyglot Warbler is also called the Melodius Willow Warbler).
No. of plates:
1) 63
2) 69 plates
3) 63 Vol. III contains a rare plate of the Passenger Pigeon (extincted in 1914)
4) 68
5) 69
