CONCI.I'SION. 



We have thus concluded our view of the MAMMALIA, that great and important Division of 

 Animated Nature to which Man himself belongs, and which includes by far the larger portion 

 of the animals which are associated with man in a state of domesticity, as well as those which in 

 a wild state attract his attention, whether as objects of the chase, or enemies which dispute his 

 supremacy. We shall next proceed to the Birds, which, though they may be less essentially 

 connected with the necessities and pursuits of mankind, are still objects of perhaps even greater 

 ouriositv and more lively interest.
