Zimmer: 'Part of a second edition of the "Enclyclopaedie Méthodique" ... in reality entirely distinct from the original edition. Bonnaterre published the plates, preface, introduction and the text up to p. 320, before his death, after which the ornithology was completed by Vieillot. The text contains a systematic review of the birds of the world, with detailed descriptions and many new names.'
