A list of the specimens of Mammalia in the British Museum 

 has been printed by order of the trustees; London, 1843; but, 

 though in possession of the ornithological list, which appeared 

 later, that of the Mammalia is still our desideratum. 



In a work undertaken at the request of the committee 

 of the Zoological Garden at Amsterdam, and entitled ' De 

 Diergaarde en het Museum van het Genootschap Natura 

 Artis Magistra te Amsterdam / Amsterdam, 1842, 209, s. gr. 

 8, mit 25 Tafeln, H. Schlegel has, Avith happy tact, under- 

 stood how to combine popular appearance with scientific 

 contents, so that this work is as agreeable to read as it is 

 instructive to the man of letters. The number of plates 

 are capitally executed, and it must be adjudged an honour 

 to the establishment of Westermann, the bookseller, that 

 so goodly and substantial a " gem" for the public has 

 received the greatest amount of care and attention in passing 

 through the press.
