the work was not carried on. The first volume of his magnum opus, 
‘Cybele Britannica,’ appeared in 1847, and it was followed by 
volume ii. in 1849, volume iii. in 1852, and volume iv. in 1859.

used for a long time for a systematic deobrighion of the stan 
genera, and species of any given tract. It is in the ‘Cybele’ that
