REVIEWS. 



Art. I. Titles of Works on Subjects of Natural History, published 



recently. 



Anon. : The Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffu- 

 sion of Useful Knowledge. In 4to numbers, Id. each. 



In some recently published numbers the following subjects 

 in natural history are treated of in a manner likely to render 

 the treatises very interesting to those not already familiar with 

 the subjects. J5etula, No. 248.; Bipes, birds of p radise, 

 257. ; birds, 257, 258., Birgus, 258, 259. ; bison, 262, 263. ; 

 bittern, 263. ; blackbirds, 264-., this number includes, besides,, 

 a treatise on bitumen, and one on Bixa Orelldna ; blackcap, 

 264,265.; blackcock, 265.; blindworm, 270, 271.; blood- 

 hound, 272, 273., the 272. includes a treatise on blood : Boa, 

 274., and not finished in this ; 274. includes, as well, accounts 

 of the bluebird and the bluebreast. Most of these subjects are 

 illustrated by wood-engravings, and some of them by several. 

 The engravings cannot, it is true, be considered of the first 

 quality. 



Brown, Captain Thomas, F.L.S., &c, assisted by eminent 

 scientific, and literary men : The Edinburgh Journal of 

 Natural History, and of the Physical Sciences. With the 

 Animal Kingdom, by Baron Cuvier. 4to. No. I. ; 8 pages, 

 inclusive of one woodcut, and exclusive of 1 plate, bearing 

 6 figures of birds, species of Trogon L. Price 4d. ; with 

 the figures coloured, 6d. Oct. 24. 1835. 



" The plan of this work is twofold : an attempt is here 

 made, for the first time, to combine the lighter character of a 

 popular periodical with the more solid utility of an eminent 

 scientific work. One half sheet of each number will con- 

 tain, ' The Edinburgh Journal of Natural History, and of 

 the Physical Sciences ; ' and the other will be devoted to a 

 new translation of ' The Animal Kingdom, by Baron Cuvier,' 

 with extensive notes and additions."
