BIOLOGIA CENTRALI-AMERICANA. 



Edited by F. D. GODMAN and OSBEET SALYIN. 



Uxiuiu this title is being published a scries of Quarto Volumes upon the Fauna and 

 Flora of Mexico and Central America i. e. the whole of Mexico from the valleys 

 of the Kio Grande and Gila on the north, the five Central-Amerii -s of 



Guatemala, ]Ionduni>, San Salvador, ^Nicaragua, and (' British Honduras, 



and the Columbian State of Panama as far south as the Isthmus of Da: 



During the past twenty-two years the Editors have been collecting materials for 

 such u Work as they now propose. They have then. parts of the 



country, and spent several years there ; and during the whole of the above period 

 they have received collections from correspondents, and from naturalists specially 

 employed in visiting many of the previously unexplored districts. The materials 

 thus obtained have been partly retained by the Editors in their own Collection, and 

 partly so distributed as to be most readily available for the present work. In addi- 

 tion to these materials, the Editors propose that all specimens obtained by other 

 travellers should be examined, wherever they may be accessible, so as to make 

 work as complete a record as possible of what is known of the Animal and Vege- 

 table life of the country under investigation. 



The work will be issued in Zoological and Botanical Parts. Those relating to 

 Zoology will contain portions of several subjects. "When the work is closed each 

 subject will be complete in itself; and the whole will forn of volumes of 



various thicknesses, according to the extent of each subject. The Botanical \ 

 will contain no other subject.
