NATUEAL HISTORY OP THE BIBLE. 



BY THE REV. H. B. TRISTRAM, M.A., 



Author of ' The Laud of Israel," etc.

" It forms, for its bulk and scope, the most exhaustive and systematic manual we 

 possess on the subject of the Natural History of the Bible. What makes it espe- 

 cially to be relied on is its being largely the fruit of personal knowledge and expe- 

 rience on the part of the writer, he having, with this express purpose, spent nearly 

 a year in the Holy Land, accompanied by well-qualified botanical and zoological 

 collectors. It is in the department of animal and vegetable life that Mr. Tristram 

 is more particularly at home ; and in these chapters of his book he will be found 

 to expatiate with an amount of painstaking and thoughtful observation which gives 

 his work a peculiar value, together with a degree of fulness which baffles selection."

THE BIRDS OE SOUTH AERICA. 



A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OE ALL THE KNOWN SPECIES 



OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE TWENTY-EIGHTH PARALLEL 



OF LATITUDE. 



BY 



EDGAR LEOPOLD LAYARD, F.Z.S., 



CURATOR OF THE SOUTH-AFRICAN MUSEUM, ETC. 



The study of the Birds of Southern Africa is beset with very great difficulty. No 

 work gives even a bare catalogue of their names ; and the descriptions of the various 

 species inhabiting the Cape Colony are scattered through many different publica- 

 tions, some so expensive as to be beyond the reach of ordinary collectors, while 

 others are journals extending over a long series of years. 



In size the ' Birds of South Africa ' will be similar to Mr. Trimen's ' Rhopalocera 

 Africa Australis' so as to form with it and contemplated works on the Reptilia &c., 

 a complete South-African Fauna.
