Now that Natural History has become so fashionable, an endless (roup 

 of Natural History publications issue from the press, some of sterling 

 merit, some mere trashy compilations, some full of erroneous informa- 

 tion. The uninformed would-be purchaser is afraid to buy any, lest on 

 perusal they should come under the last category : hence the great 

 want of an able and well-written Review, which will not only inform 

 him of the works that have been published on these subjects, but will 

 also assure him of their worth — or otherwise. This long-felt want the 

 Natural History Review aspires to supply ; and though the Editors are 

 aware of many shortcomings in the Parts hitherto before the Public, yet 

 they have this definite aim before them, and as they gradually approximate 

 to it more and more, the utility of their undertaking will naturally be in- 

 creased. Besides reviews of works on Natural History, it contains Re- 

 ports of the Proceedings of the Natural History Societies in Ireland, 

 illustrated by numerous woodcuts and lithographic figures of newly dis- 

 covered or rare species of animals and plants. 



Vol. II., for 1855, has just been published, containing five lithographic 

 plates. Price 10s. 6d., cloth gilt: to be had post free, by forwarding the 

 amount in Postage stamps to the Editors, 5, Trinity College, Dublin. 

 The contents of this volume are principally Entomological, and well 

 worthy the attention of all British Entomologists who wish to be " au 

 courant" of the advances recently made in Ireland in this science. 



Vol. I., for 1854, price 8s. (by post) is still on sale, and can be had by 

 sending that amount to the above address. Post-office Orders to be 

 made payable to Arthur Percival, Esq., 5, Trinity College, Dublin. 



Part IX. will be published early in January, 1856, and will contain, 

 besides other matter, a notice of Dr. H. Blrmeister's works on the 

 venation of the wings in " Coleoptera ;" of the " Natural History of the 

 Tineina," &c. &c, besides a Paper by A. H. Haliday, Esq., A.M., 

 V.P., D.U.Z.A., on the systematic place of the order " Aphaniptera" 

 among insects.
