THE General Zoology was commenced in 

 1800 by DR. G. SHAW, who died soon after 

 the completion of the eighth volume, which 

 was published in 1812. 



The Birds will be finished by MR. J. F. 

 STEPHENS, who has brought this part of the 

 work into a considerable state of forward- 

 ness, and will introduce, during its progress, 

 all the improvements proposed by modern 

 systematic writers. 



The Natural History of the Mollusca will 

 be written by Dr. H. D. BLAINVILLE of 

 Paris, and that of the Crustacea by Dr.W.E. 

 LEACH, under whose superintendance the 



'whole continuation of the work will be con- 

 ducted.
