 By Charles Empson, 32, Collingwood Street. ! [n. d.] 2 vols. Large 8vo. Not

I am very imperfectly acquainted with this -work. The edition here cited, which I suppose 

 to be a "3d ed., 2 vols., 1856 ", is neither dated nor paged, has the species arranged systemati" 

 cally, with the addition, at the end of Vol. n, of 15 species to the 229 before treated, raising 

 the total number of plates to 169, each rcipresentiug the egg of one or more species, in 

 colours, natural size. The work was originally published (by subscription) in parts. I find 

 it cited "8vo, London, 1831-1844", and also "3 vols, 8vo, London, 1831-1836".
