Zoological Illustrations. As far as has been ascertained by 

 C. Davies Sherborn, the following are the particulars of issue 

 of this complex work. The first part of the first series appeared 

 on October 1, 1820, with 6 plates and this was succeeded monthly 

 with similar parts for eleven months, the twelfth part having 

 no plates but only preface, indices, etc., the preface to Vol. I. 

 being dated September 15, 1821. The second Volume had 

 only four plates to a part, but came out regularly, but apparently 

 five plates were issued with the September 1821 number, 

 which are included in this volume. Then the third Volume, 

 begun in October 1822, had five plates to each number except 

 the last in October 1823, which apparently had only three 

 plates, title, prefaces, etc. 



The second series was much more erratic in appearance, 

 and the data are very incomplete ; it was announced to 

 begin on February 29, 1829, and five plates to a part ; 

 three parts were reviewed as early as April 1829, but 

 only six seem to have been published during 1829, being 

 reviewed in February 1830. Again only four parts, three 

 with five plates each, and one with indices, etc., can be 

 traced as coming out in 1830. Then regularly for the first 

 eight months in 1831, though double numbers may have been 

 issued if behindhand. Then a period elapsed about which 

 we know very little, and then the preface to the final volume
