REVIEW. 



THE BOOK OF ANTELOPES. By P. L. Sclater, M.A., F.R.S., and 

 Oldfield Thomas, F.Z.S., F.R.G.S. Illustrated by Joseph Wolf, F.Z.S., 

 and J. Smit. (London : R. H. Porter.) 



Mr. Porter has just issued the first part of a work that will 

 assuredly rank as secundus nnlli of the magnificent volumes devoted 

 to the depiction and description of Natural History subjects. 



"The Book of Antelopes" is indeed an exceptionally attractive 

 and valuable work. Written by the highest authorities, it becomes 

 indispensable to the student of mammals. Illustrated with exquisite 

 coloured plates, chiefly by the master of present day animal painters, 

 Joseph Wolf, and by Mr. J. Smit, who is greatly to be congratulated 

 on the excellence of his pictures, it appeals irresistibly to all lovers 

 of nature and fine art. The naturalist and the sportsman will 

 find its pages teeming with interesting matter relating to a group of 

 creatures which for variety and gracefulness of form and beauty of 

 coloration stand unrivalled in the animal kingdom, and have justly 

 rendered them favourites of the first order. 



The work is also embellished with many useful woodcuts of 

 heads, horns, skulls, etc., is excellently printed, and of convenient 

 size. 



The part before us treats of the Hartebeests (Bubalis), eight in 

 number, and Hunter's Antelope (Damaliscus hunteri), to which six 

 coloured plates are devoted. The work will be completed in 12 or 

 j 3 parts. 



We recommend it most unreservedly to all who are interested in 

 the subject upon which it treats so admirably both with pen and 

 pencil.
