very great measure, constant references to Nature 

 herself, otherwise necessary to those who would 

 understand any natural system of arrangement. 



The proprietors of the " Animal Kingdom" having 

 now redeemed their pledges to the subscribers, by 

 completing the work within the limits originally 

 prescribed, — pledges which were made before 

 Guerin's work was thought of, — have been strongly 

 urged to publish the whole of these illustrations. 

 Some of them have been already copied in the 

 " Animal Kingdom ;" and in order to render that 

 work as useful as possible, it is proposed to publish 

 the remainder as a Supplement to it, at as low a 

 price as may be consistent with the proper execution 

 of the plates. 



The Iconography will moreover form a distinct 

 work, or it may be applied to illustrate any general 

 Zoology, as well as that of the Baron Cuvier. It 

 will be published in ten or twelve Monthly Parts, 

 to be completed contemporaneously with the original 

 work in France, which will be early in 1836. A 

 description of the figures will accompany the last 

 Part.
