ZOOLOGICAL SKETCHES 



By JOSEPH WOLF. 



MADE FOK 



THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, 



FROM ANIMALS IN TUEIR VIVARIUM. 



EDITED^ WITH NOTES, 



By PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., &c., &c., 



Secretar)- to the Society. 



The series of Drawings, of which a selection of Fifty is given in the present Volume, was 

 undertaken with the object of preserving a faithful record of the living characters of the most 

 rare and interesting Animals in the Vivarium of the Zoological Society of London. 



The present extent of the Society's Collection, and the prospects of increase, derived from 

 the energetic support which it continues to receive from so many sources, aiFord unequalled 

 means of making these Zoological Portraits both various and instructive. In selecting the 

 subjects, particular regard is paid to those species which exhibit aptitude for acclimatization, 

 either as objects of economic value, or simply as additions to the Exotic Animals which are now 

 so frequently seen in the parks and on the ornamental waters of Europe. 



The Drawings have been executed in Water Colours, after most careful study, by Mr. Wolf, 

 who may be fairly said to stand alone in minute knowledge of the habits and forms of Mammalia 

 as well as of Biids ; and the Lithograjjhie copies, partly printed in colour and then finished 

 by hand, are in such exact fac-simile as to be scarcely distinguishable from the originals. The 

 Letter-press, prepared by the Editor, embraces all particulars of interest relating to the general 

 historj', habits, distribution, and use of the Animals illustrated in the Plates. 



The Work may be inspected at the Publishers, Messrs. Henry Graves and Co., 6, Pall Mall ; 

 and at the Office of the Zoological Society of London, 11, Hanover Square.
