CATALOGUE of the EUROPEAN 

 QUADRUPEDS, BIRDS, and 

 REPTILES, Extra-Britannic. 



SINCE the great ufe of Mr. Ray's Sylbge ftir- 

 pium Europ^earum extra Britannias* has 

 been fo fully approved by the travelling Botanift, 

 it is thought a fimilar enumeration of the fpecies 

 of certain clafies of the animal kingdom would be 

 equally agreeable and ferviceable to the travelling 

 Zoologift. It comprehends the Extra-Britannic 

 quadrupeds, birds, and reptiles o£ Europe, formed 

 from the works of the general naturalifts, from 

 the Fauna of different countries, and from my own 

 obfervations. The arrangement of.the fubjects are 

 according to the excellent method of our country- 

 man Mr. Ray, a little altered, or reformed. As 

 there are not at this inftant Englijh names for mod 

 of the articles, we have been obliged to fubflitute 

 thofe ufed by Uwueus and other foreign writers \ 

 but to gratify the Englijh reader's curiofity, who 

 may wifti for fuller accounts of the quadrupeds in 

 his own language, we refer him in the fecond co- 

 lumn to our own fynopfis of Quadrupeds ; and in 

 refpect to the birds, to the Englijh edition of Mr. 

 Willughby's Ornithology, 



* Stirpium Europaarum extra Britannias nafcentium Sylloge,
