number, fully realize the very favourable opinion we expressed of 

 Mr Royle's Illustrations, an opinion founded on the well known 

 and highly'esteemed practical skill of our author as a naturalist, 

 and his activity and intelligence as a traveller. The forty pages 

 on the geographical distribution of the plants and the animals of 

 the Himalays, will be read with pleasure and delight, even by 

 those not very deeply versed in the minutiae of Natural History. 

 The getting-up of the work is highly creditable to the publishers.

 the most complex and extensive, as well as that which has of late 

 .years beea the mogt sedulously studied, and therefore likely to 

 .prove of the highest interest to the science of entomology. We 

 have.long regretted that a field so interesting as that presented 

 by the vicinity of Edinburgh, should have remained till recent- 

 ly in a great measure almost unexplored ; for no doubt can be
