The work was to have comprised 16 volumes with 400 hand coloured plates, but owing to the death of Lord Brabourne at Neuve-Chapelle in 1915 only volume I of the text has been published. The 38 plates already finished by Mr. Grönvold, with notes on most of the species by H. Kirke Swann, have been issued as vol. II. cf. Publisher's note, volume 2. |
