~ 24 MR. MURRAY’S LIST OF ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
In the belief that the recent advinces of Science render tt desirable to collect and 
incorporate modern discoveries, and to present in a systematic form the existing 
state of our knowledge of the Organic World, Mr. MurRAy is preparing to 
publish a series of Scientific Works on 
BIOLOGY; 
oR, THE 
NATURAL HISTORY OF ANIMALS AND PLANTS. 
Each Work is intended to be complete in itself ; and while so plain and simple as to 
address itself to any reader of ordinary education, yet to embody the latest discoveries, 
the scientific literature of its subject being, in all cases, fully referred to. Each Work 
isalsoto _ copiously illustrated with careful and exact Woodeuts in the text. 
THE FIRST WORK WILL CONTAIN 
A Natural History of Mammals, including Man. 
By ST. GEORGE MIVART, F.R.S. 
2Vols, 8vo. 
The object of this first Work is to present to ordinary readers and to medical and 
other students who, have no special acquaintance with Zoology, a general view of the 
structure, physiology, habits, geographical and geological distribution, affinities and 
classification of the groups (of the rank of families and sub-families) which compose the 
highest class of animals, Man included. 
It is also intended to serve as an introduction to Zoology and to Biology generally, 
and will therefore explain in simple language the various ways in which organisms may 
be considered, giving the elementary facts and principles of Histology, Physiology, and 
the other sciences subordinate to Biology, while sufficient detail will be given to entitle 
the Work to serve as a guide to Teachers and Students who may desire to follow up the 
subject practically with the Scalpel and the Microscope. 
The First VoLuME will comprise Man and the higher Animals furnished with nails, 
hoofs, or claws, that is to say, the Apes, Bats, Beasts of Prey, and Gnawing Quadrupeds. 
The Srconp VoLUME will contain descriptions of the Hoofed and other Animals not 
previously described, such as Horses, Cattle, Swine, Elephants, Whales, Porpoises, 
Sloths, Ant-Eaters, Armadillos, and pouched Beasts. It will also treat of the Classi- 
fication and Distribution of Mammals, and will review the facts of their structure in 
Anatomical instead of in Zoological order.
