The Preface and lutroduction to my "Mammals of Australia" 

 having been set up in small type for facility of correction, I 

 have had a limited number of copies printed in an octavo 

 form, for distribution among my scientific friends and others, 

 to whom I trust it will be at once useful and acceptable. 

 They must however still regard it rather in the light of a 

 proof-sheet, inasmuch as it contains many imperfections, Avhich 

 have been corrected in the folio edition.
