 the Zoological part of this Work. The names of the Authors of the different 

 subjects already finished and in progress will be found on the third and second 

 pages of this wrapper. The remaining subjects, so far as at present arranged, 

 have been undertaken as follows : — 



PISCES. By Dr. A. Gunther, F.R.S., late Keeper of the Zoological Department, British Museum. 

 MICRO-LEPIDOPTERA. By Lord Walsingham. 

 ORTHOPTERA (Acridiida) . By L. Bruner. 



The Editor will prepare, at the conclusion of the Work, an Introductory Volume, 

 wherein the physical features of the country will be described and illustrated with 

 maps.
