In spite of the fact that it bears the date of 1804, S. Roscoe has noted in considerable detail why this was a new edition incorporating some modifications to the text. (Roscoe, 89-94) He also noted some copies of this edition with paper bearing a watermark of 1814. Figures and descriptions of the <I>Peregrine Falcon</I> and the <I>Pied Flycatcher</I> (second figure) appear for the first time as well.
