figured and coloured : if Gould's forthcoming work on the Trochilidce 

 is to have all the figures of a similar character and execution to this, 

 we can assure him of almost certain encouragement. 



Of Annulosa, Insecta, 

 Mr. Hewitson figures and descrihes a most beautiful species of But- 

 terfly found by Mr. Charles Empson of Bath in South America ; it is 

 the Agrias yEdon ; this figure is coloured in a most masterly way, 

 and to the artist must prove valuable as showing the arrangement, 

 harmony and contrast of colour, which are exhibited in insects, on 

 birds and on shells, in particular, in a way which often surprises 

 artists not accustomed to look to these objects. Mr. Hewitson's 

 figures of the eggs of British birds and his illustrations of Doubleday 

 and Hewitson's Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera are well known. 



Of Annulosa, Crustacea, 

 Mr. Gray figures two new species of Cirripeds, Scalpellum ornatum 

 and Anatifa ovalis, while figures by Mr. William Wing of the Lithodes 

 (Echinocerus) cibarius. White, a singular rough edible species of 

 crab from the Columbia River, in the collection of the British Mu- 

 seum, are given in a most commendable way on stone ; — Mr. Wing 

 bids fair to distinguish himself as a draughtsman of Crustacea, In- 

 sects, and Radiata. 



Of Radiata 

 Mr. J. E. Gray figures Sarcoptilus grandis, a new genus and species 

 in the collection of the British Museum ; it is a singularly interest- 

 ing form of Radiata. 



We have before us proofs of the plates that are to appear in 

 Part II., and can only say they keep up amply the good character of 

 Part I. 



Mr. Gray's new species of Monkey, Cercopithecus Pluto, figured 

 most graphically by Mr. Wolf. 



Mr. Angas's new South African Antelope, described by Mr. Gray 

 and named Tragelaphus Angasii, is shown in two excellent plates 

 drawn by Mr, B. Waterhouse Hawkins ; it is a most lovely animal ; 

 the male, female and young are represented. 



Of Birds, the Podica personata, G. R. Gray, one of the Finfoot 

 tribe, is figured by Mr. Wolf, and also a new Parrot, the Psittacus 

 Ruppellii. 



Of Insects, Mr. Hewitson figures the new Butterfly (Corndes Enyo), 

 while Mr. Doubleday's interesting nev/ Australian Moth is figured 

 with its fine larva, which will form a valuable addition to our know- 

 ledge of the history of Australian Lepidoptera. Mr. Wm. Wing has 

 drawn and lithographed this plate. 



The price of these illustrations can only cover the expenses of pub- 

 lication. We can most sincerely recommend the work to our readers, 

 scientific and non-scientific : as plates of beautiful objects, admirably 

 lithographed and most accurately coloured, they merit every praise ; 

 as coloured prints for albums most of them would be sought after, if 

 sold singly, at three times the price asked for them. They are good 

 and cheap — rare qualities in combination.
