notes: 
The black-throated bunting (Spiza americana?) inhabited New York. The cinereous bunting as described here inhabited Canada; the true Emberiza cineracea is native to Turkey. It should be "No. 233" to match the text. Thomas Pennant was a Welsh naturalist and antiquary. Peter Mazell was a British engraver of flowers and animals. Title for v. [2] and [3] reads: Arctic zoology. Imprint is the same as in v. [1].
