zoologists to examine Mr. Bellamy's specimens, and report upon their

The name of the volume might lead some of our readers to sup- 

 pose that every branch of the natural history of South Devon was 

 treated on ; but we think it only right to state, that the author has 

 not given any lists of the plants or insects of the district. In a se- 

 cond edition we should advise that this hiatus be filled up ; and we 

 think that the author, on reconsidering some parts of the work, would 

 find that this might be done without at all increasing the size of the 

 volume.
