120 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
A word of praise must be bestowed also upon the capital 
illustrations by Charles Whymper. Some of them, to a critical 
eye, may be thought a little faulty in outline, but there is no mis- 
taking the species for which they are intended; and in most 
of them the drawing as well as the engraving is excellent. 
Amongst those which strike us as being particularly true to 
nature are the Oystercatcher (p. 185), and the Cormorant (p. 342), 
the latter of which through the courtesy of the publishers we 
have been permitted to reproduce.
