NOTE. 



— •* — 



As will be observed on the title-page, this work does not 

 pro fess to be a complete account of the Mammalia, but a popular 

 deS cription of their various Orders, illustrated by typical examples ; 

 tlie general arrangement of their classification being new, and 

 cjrtainly most simple. 



,he early portion was edited by E. Blythe, Esq., F.Z.S. This 

 acknowledgment is necessary, as that part was remodelled and 

 considerably augmented. Otherwise this book is a free trans- 

 lation.
