This Popular Work has now reached the Sixteenth Volume, and 

 has received the most nattering reception, not only from the Pub- 

 lic, in the substantial encouragement which the extensive sale of 

 upwards of 1 1,000 copies of some of the Volumes proves, but in the 

 universally favourable notices which the Periodical Press has be- 

 stowed upon its merits. It shall continue to be the anxious endea- 

 vour of the Editor and Publisher to merit the continuance of such 

 vsuccess, by giving their particular attention to the conducting of the 

 Work in all its details ; and with this view, they are sparing no ex- 

 pense in obtaining from the most talented Artists, not only original 

 Drawings from Nature of the objects which form the Illustrations, 

 but in procuring the best assistance, and latest intelligence respect- 

 ing the most recent discoveries which have been made in the wide 

 range of the Zoological kingdom.
