Mr. A. P. Maudslay upon the chief Indian remains of Guatemala, however, affords an opportunity 

 of adding a comparatively limited, but very important, contribution to our knowledge of the 

 Archaeology of Central America, which it has been thought desirable to add to this work. 

 Mr. Maudslay's labours on the ruins at Quirigua, Copan, and other places have brought to 

 light much that was previously unknown, and his careful work in making moulds in paper and 

 plaster, and his beautiful photographs and plans render it possible to produce drawings and 

 illustrations far exceeding in accuracy anything that has hitherto been attempted. The importance 

 of this work can readily be appreciated when it is known that these monuments are being 

 rapidly destroyed. 



The Zoological, Botanical, and Archaeological sections of the whole work are sold separately, 

 but the Zoology is not further subdivided. 



Each Part of Zoology contains about twelve sheets of eight pages, and about six Plates, most 

 of them lithographs coloured by hand. The price of each Part is 21 Shillings. 



The Botany is complete in five volumes. Price £17 17s. , half-bound. 



The Archaeology will consist of Text in Quarto, similar to the Zoology and Botany, but 

 of varying amount. The Plates will be in oblong quarto. The Price of each Part will vary 

 according to the contents. No. 1, containing 32 pages of text and 22 Plates, is now ready. 

 Price 42 Shillings.
