182 SMITH'S ILLUSTRATIONS. 
NOTE XXVIII. 
ON THE DATES OF PUBLICATION OF THE PARTS OF 
SIR ANDREW SMITH'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF 
THE ZOOLOGY OF SOUTH AFRICA 
BY 
Dr. F. A. JENTINK, 
February 1893. 
Under the above title there has been published a very 
valuable paper in the P.Z.S.L. 1880, p. 489, written 
by Mr. F. H. Waterhouse. The author remarked: »As the 
copy here alluded to, did not contain plates xvin and 
XXXVII (Mammalia), I have examined three or four other 
copies; and as neither of these plates are to be found in 
any of these, I presume they do not exist”. 
I think it is not without interest to know, that in the 
copy belonging to our Museum-library, plate 38 is pre- 
sent; plates 18 and 37 however, are absent. On plate 38 
there are two figures of Catoblepas taurina, A. adult fe- 
male, B. young. 
No wonder that the named plates are not to be found 
in any copy, as I read at the bottom of the page, con- 
taining an index of the Mammalia, the following phrase: 
>PLATES 18 AND 37 NOT PUBLISHED”.
