 Captain Fitzroy, during the years 1832 to 1836. 



Since our former notice of this valuable work, the following 

 numbers have been published. 



Birds. — Part 2d of the Birds, of which the beautiful draw- 

 ings are by the Goulds, the letterpress by Mr Darwin. The 

 descriptive part includes nearly all the accipitrine birds met 

 with during the expedition. Mr Darwin''s account of the Con- 

 dor is the best in our language. 



Recent Mammalia^ by Mr Waterhouse. A third number of 

 this division of the Zoology has appeared, entirely devoted to 

 the murine tribe, illustrated by plates of great beauty. 



Fossil Mammalia^ by Mr Owen. A second number has 

 reached us. It contains the conclusion of the description of 

 the large extinct mammiferous animal, referable to the order 

 Pachydermata, but with affinities to the Ruminantia, and 

 especially to the Camelida?, named Macrauchenia ; also, as 

 usual with this excellent observer, a masterly description of 

 the fragment of a Cranium of an extinct animal, indicative of 

 a new genus of Edentata, and for which is proposed the name 

 of Glossotherium ; and an account of a mutilated Lower Jaw 

 and Teeth, on which he proposes to found a sub-genus of Me- 

 gatheroid Edentata, under the name of Mylodcyn, The nine 

 admirable plates in this part are illustrative of the Osteology 

 of the Macrauchenia, Glossotherium, and Mylodon.
