A GENERAL OUTLINE OF 



THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, 



AND MANUAL OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. 

 BY THOMAS RYMER JONES, F.Z.S. 



PROFESSOR OF COMPARATIVE ANATOMY, IN KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. 



This work is intended to comprise a general view of the Animal 

 Creation, exhibiting the structure and internal economy of every class of 

 living beings, and their adaptation to the circumstances in which they 

 are severally destined to exist. 



Six parts, at 2*. M. each, containing 129 illustrations, are now 

 published — the work will be completed in fifteen ; the whole will 

 then form a manual of comparative anatomy and animal physiology, 

 equally adapted to the man of letters, the zoologist, or the anatomical 

 student. In order to render the work as intelligible as possible to 

 unscientific readers, a glossary of technical and scientific terms will be 

 given in the concluding part. About three hundred illustrations will be 

 embodied in illustration of the text. 



To accommodate the possessors of the large paper copies of the other 

 works on Natural History issued by the same Publisher, a few copies of 

 this work will be printed to correspond. 



A HISTORY OF BRITISH QUADRUPEDS, 



INCLUDING THE CETACEA. 

 BY THOMAS BELL, F.R.S., F.L.S., V.P.Z.S. 



PROFESSOR OF ZOOLOGY IN KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. 



The letter-press of this volume contains an account of their habits, 

 utility in food, manufactures, agriculture, or domestic economy, and the 

 noxious qualities of such as are in any way injurious to man ; and an 

 attempt has been made to define the characters of many of the species 

 with more accuracy than had been done by previous authors. The 

 illustrations comprise a figure of every species, and of many varieties, 

 with numerous pictorial tail-pieces and anatomical diagrams, illustrative 

 of the text, amounting, in all, to 200. 



Price of the work, in demy 8vo. 28*. A few copies are also printed 

 in royal Svo, price 21. 16*., and a very limited number in imperial 8vo, 

 price 41. 4*.

 by the most eminent artists. No pains have been spared to render it 

 worthy of public estimation.

 price 2/. 8*. The royal 8vo, or intermediate size, is out of print, and, of
