NEW SERIES 



OF 



THE ANNALS AND MAGAZINE OF NATURAL 



HISTORY, 



Including ZOOLOGY, BOTANY, and GEOLOGY. 



(Being a continuation of the ' Magazine of Botany and Zoology,' and of Lou- 

 don and Charlesworth's 'Magazine of Natural History.') 



Conducted by Sir W. JARDINE, Bart., F.L.S; P. J. SELBY, Esq., F.L.S. ; 



GEORGE JOHNSTON, M.D. ; CHARLES C. BABINGTON, Esq., 



M.A., F.L.S., F.G.S.; J. H. BALFOUR, M.D., Prof. Bot. Etlin- 



burgh; and RICHARD TAYLOR, F.L.S., F.G.S. 



The commencement of this New Series affords the Editors a fit occasion 

 for expi'essing a hope that they may now receive an accession to the number 

 of their supporters. They would urge how much their means of giving addi- 

 tional interest and value to the Annals, both as to quantity of matter and 

 engravings, must depend upon the extent of the sale ; in the hope that those 

 lovers of Natural History who are not already subscribers may take this con- 

 venient opportunity of increasing the number of those by whose support the 

 work has been upheld.

 whole account of the species drawn up in such a manner as cannot fail to be 

 iut.tructive." — Gardener'' s Chronicle. 



" The professed botanist will find this, a work of the highest character, whilst 

 those who desu-e merely to know the names and history of the lovely plants 

 which they gather on the sea-shore will find in it, ^^■hen complete, the faithful 

 portraitm-e of every one of them." — Annals of Nat. Hist. 



" The di'awings, admirably true to nature, are executed in a most masterly 

 antl tasteful style, and well is it that the work has fallen into the hands of 

 Messrs. Reeve, who have done great justice to the letter-press, and whose 

 coloured plates are truly exquisite." — Edinburgh Witness.
