  HANLEY'S

  Reynell. 
  

  

  Read 
  9th 
  November, 
  1917. 
  

  

  So 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know, 
  no 
  detailed 
  particulars 
  of 
  the 
  parts 
  and 
  dates 
  of 
  

  

  issue 
  of 
  this 
  work 
  have 
  ever 
  been 
  recorded, 
  though 
  Mr. 
  B. 
  B. 
  "Woodward 
  

  

  communicated 
  some 
  information, 
  founded 
  on 
  particulars 
  obtained 
  

  

  from 
  Wiegniann's 
  " 
  Archiv 
  fiir 
  Naturgeschichte 
  " 
  and 
  an 
  incomplete 
  

  

  copy 
  with 
  the 
  original 
  covers 
  in 
  possession 
  of 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  E. 
  Hoyle." 
  

  

  This 
  information 
  was 
  read 
  before 
  the 
  Coiichological 
  Society, 
  published 
  

  

  in 
  their 
  Journal 
  (vol, 
  x, 
  p. 
  47, 
  1901). 
  

  

  A 
  complete 
  copy 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  parts 
  having 
  come 
  into 
  my 
  

   possession 
  I 
  am 
  able 
  to 
  supplement 
  these 
  particulars. 
  Unfortunately 
  

   I 
  had 
  them, 
  bound 
  before 
  setting 
  down 
  my 
  information, 
  and 
  the 
  

   binder 
  divorced 
  the 
  plates 
  from 
  each 
  part 
  and 
  followed 
  the 
  

   " 
  instructions 
  to 
  the 
  binder 
  " 
  ; 
  but 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  Vol. 
  I 
  is 
  concerned, 
  I 
  am 
  

   able 
  to 
  give 
  dates 
  of 
  issue 
  of 
  the 
  plates 
  from 
  another 
  incomplete 
  copy. 
  

   The 
  volumes 
  and 
  parts 
  appeared 
  as 
  follows 
  :
