 PUBLISHED BY L. KEEVE & CO, 



REEVE AND CO.'S NEW SERIES OF NATURAL 

 HISTORY FOR BEGINNERS. 



*#* A good introductory series of books on Natural History for the use of 

 students and amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at present in use have 

 been too much compiled from antiquated sources ; while the figures, copied 

 in many instances from sources equally antiquated, are far from accurate, the 

 colouring of them having become degenerated through the adoption, for the 

 sake of cheapness, of mechanical processes. 



The present series will be entirely the result of original research carried to its 

 most advanced point ; and the figm'cs, which will be chiefly engraved on steel, by 

 the artist most highly renowned in each department for his technical knowledge 

 of llie subjects, will in all cases be drawn from actual specimens, and coloured 

 separately by hand. 



Each work will treat of a department of Natural History sutHcienlly limited 

 in extent to admit of a satisfactory degree of completeness. 



The following are now ready: —
