 French, illustrated with 46 plates (reduced to 8vo size from the 

 preceding work). London, 1800, 4to, pp. 476 with an Appendix 

 of 65 pages. 



Bearing in mind the industry and eminence of Labillar- 

 diere, we cannot but regret that his opportunities for 

 collecting in Tasmania and the mainland were so limited.
