We give this enumeration as a scientific curiosity, showing, 

 as it not only does, the vast extent of the author's collection, 

 but also the various proportions of the different orders ; the 

 great number of specimens over that of species is likewise of 

 importance, as exhibiting the materials the writer must have 

 for the discrimination of varieties from species. We likewise 

 observe with pleasure that the publication of the 'Illustrations 

 is only suspended, and not, as we began to consider, de- 

 funct: we therefore look forward to its continuance with 

 great pleasure, and will merely observe that we consider it to 

 be a duty which Mr. Stephens owes to his subscribers, to 

 terminate the work ; whilst they, on their part, may rest as- 

 sured, that as the 'Illustrations' are printed "/or the author^'' 

 his interest is sufficiently great to lead him to complete the 

 work as quickly as possible, whereby it will become of so 

 much greater value, in a mercantile point of view, to himself
