[Publisbed in twenty-six fascicules; the first twenty-five under the title : " OstOographie ; ou, description 

 LoonogTHphlque comp*re-e du squelette et du systenie dentaire dea cinq classes d'aniniaux vertebres recents et 

 fossiles, pour servir do base X la zoologie et a la geologie par M. H. M. Ducrotay de Blainville .... Onv- 

 rage aocompague de planches lithographiees sous sa direction par M. J. C. Werner .... Paris, Artbus 

 lWrtrand, . . . . " [1839-55]. The twenty-sixth and last fascicule was issued with the special title above 

 given, titles for the four volume*] of text ami four of platew, table of contents and index, by the Baillieres, in 1864. 



The culpable neglect of the publishers to give the dates of publication of the several fascicules has doubt- 

 less devolved upon many investigators, as upon the writer, much trouble aud annoyance in ascertaining them, 

 and to save to others similar trouble, a collation is here presented, the dates having chiefly been ascertained 

 from Wagner's annual reports in the *' Arehiv fur Naturgeschiohte". The appearance of successive fascicules 

 has not beeu noticed in the " Bibliographic de la France". 



The titles of the respective monographs given below are those at the upper fourth of the first page of each 

 monograph, and which are the only special titles published. 



The work is more remarkable as a methodical repertory of facts respecting superficial osteological details 

 than as a digeBt exhibiting acute appreciation of the value and subordination of characters and their taxonomi- 

 cal application, or orthodox views respecting classification and the geological succession of animals— the con- 

 current views of the most recent and approved investigators being the standard. The "genera", it must bo 

 remembered, are genorally about equal iu extent to the families now generally adopted.]
