GEOEGE BELL & SONS' 



LIST OF WORKS 



ON 



BOTANY & NATURAL HISTORY. 



THE LIBRARY OF NATURAL HISTORY. 



THIS uniform series of Works on the various branches of Natural History- 

 has attained a high reputation, both for the low prices at which 

 they are published and the general excellence with which they are produced. 

 They form collectively a Standard Set of Works on the different subjects which 

 they illustrate, and deserve the attention of all who study this branch of science 

 for their faithful illustrations and accuracy of description; the plates being 

 carefully executed by accomplished artists, and the authorship entrusted to writers 

 of acknowledged merit. Indeed no higher testimony can be borne to their 

 value than the fact that the late Prince Consort (himself an able student of 

 Natural History) so highly esteemed those which were published during his life- 

 time that he purchased copies of them for presentation to public institutions. 



New Edition, with Additions. 

 Dedicated by Permission to Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen.

By the Eev. E. 0. Morris, B.A., Member of the Ashmolean Society. Illus- 

 trated with 365 coloured Engravings. Six Volumes, super-royal 8vo., 

 6 6s. 



In this work the author has amassed information from every reliable source, and 

 in addition to necessary scientific details, he has interspersed throughout his pages 

 a vast fund of anecdotes, illustrative of the marvellous instincts and peculiar habits 

 of the feathered inhabitants of our land, and has thus made his work at once 

 entertaining and instructive, and in the widest sense a ' History of British Birds.' 



New Edition, Enlarged.

Designed as a supplement to the ' History of British Birds,' this work gives the

 mining to what species they belong. Each egg is figured and minutely described, 

 and a number of nests are accurately drawn from specimens.
