figured and coloured : if Gould’s forthcoming work on the Trochilide 
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 describes a most beautiful species of But- 
terfly found by Mr. Charles Empson of Bath in South America; it is 
the Agrias Afdon; 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 
mot II., and can only say they keep up amply the good character of 
art 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 (Corades Enyo), 
while Mr. Doubleday’s interesting new 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.
