we are enabled confidently to promise it within the 
usual time. 
The Volume which will succeed those above 
mentioned, and which we hope to publish before 
Christmas, will be that devoted to the “ Natural 
Listory of Bees,” mm which the extraordinary in- 
stincts of the Honey Bee will form the chief object. 
The economical management will, however, also be 
treated of ; and a sketch of the history of the foreign 
forms which are allied to this interesting group of 
insects, will be added. 
These will form the subjects which will occupy 
the volumes to be given within the present year; 
and it will be seen that the support which the 
Public has so liberally afforded to the “ Lisrary,” 
has enabled us to receive assistance from Naturalists 
who bear a high rank in their respective walks of 
science. The names of Setpy, Swainson, HamI.tTon 
Smita, Hamitton, Dunspar, Duncan, and Mac- 
GILLIVRAY, already stand as our co-operators, and 
the volumes for the coming year promise to increase 
our list with many able companions.
