 LEY HALL: HOOFED QUADRUPEDS, edited by J. E. 

 Gray, of the British Museum, impl. folio, &2 fine ^dafes, 

 fifteen of them very superbly coloured, from drawings by 

 iV. Haivhins Knoivsley, 1850 



The Plates of this volume are selected from the series of Drawings of Ungulated Quadrupeds 

 made by Mr. Waterhouse Hawkins for the Right Honourable the Earl of Derby, chielly from the 

 animals living in his Lordship's Menagerie at Know!-ley Hall. They have been lithographed by 

 Mr. W. Hawkins, and coloured under his sn]>erinten(leiice. 



The Plates are accompanied by Lord Derby's nt)tes on their habits, and by a brief description 

 of the specimens of the various Genera, chiefly derived from the study of the animals at Knovvslcy, 

 or in the British Museum. — J. E. Gkay.

thern coloureDj cloth, very /y/?t, £12. 125 1846-50 



Printed for private distribution amongst the friends of the late Earl of Derby, to 

 whose zeal ibr Natural History these volumes will remain a lasting monument. The editorship 

 of Dr. Gray of the British Miiseum is a further guarantee for the excellence of this work, which 

 is indeed the most correct and the most beautiful. es|iecially as far as the Mammals ase concerned, 

 printed in Europe. The few single volumes which have at rare intervals turned up at sales, have 

 fetched high ])riccs. 



To all Public Libraries this work is necessary, as the plates present most accurate delineations 

 of rare Birds and Mammals, made by first-rate Artists from living specimens. The Knowsley 

 Menagerie forms a necessary complement to the great work of Cuvicr et GeoflTroy St. Hilaire, 

 " Histoire naturclle des ]\Liinmiferes, 3 vols, folio, 1824-35," in which the plates and the text are 

 inferior in beauty and accuracy to the above. 



Lnmediale "apjiLcaiiun will be necessary to secure a copy at the price of twelve 

 guineas.
