[Published in twenty-aix fascicules; the first twenty-five under the title : " Oat6ographie ; ou, description 

 iconogrnphique corapar6e du squelette et du syat6me dentaire dea cinq classes d'animaux vert^bres r^centa et 

 fosailea, pour servir do base ii la zoologie et ;\ la g6ologie par M. H. M. Bncrotay de Blaiuville .... Ouv- 

 rage acconipagQ6 de plaucbes lithographi6ea sous aa direction par M. J. 0. Werner .... Paris, Arthus 

 Bertrand, , . . ." [Irt39-or)]. Tbu twenty-sixth and laat fascicule was issued with tbe ^petiaititle above 

 given, titles for the four volumeaof text and four of plates, table of contents and index, by the Bailli^res, in 1864. 

 The culpable neglect of the publisbera to give the dates of publicatiun of the aeveral fascicules has doubt- 

 less devolved upon many investigators, as upon the writer, much trouble and annoyance in ascertaining tbem. 

 and to save to others similar trouble, a collation is here presented, the dates having chiefly been ascertained 

 from Wagner's annual reports in the " Archiv fiir Natargeschichte". The appearance of successive fascicules 

 bus not been noticed in the " Bibliographic de la France". 



The titles of the respeftive monographs given below are those at the upper fourth of the first page of each 

 monograph, and which are the only special titles published. 



The work is more remarkable as a methodical repertory of facts respecting snperficial osteological details 

 than as a digest exhibiting acute appreciation of the value and subordination of charactera and their tasonomi- 

 cal application, or orthodox views respecting classitication and the geological succession of animals— the con- 

 current views of the most recent and approved investigators being the standard. The "genera", it must bo 

 remembered, are generally about equal in extent to the families now generally adopted.]
