Say (T.) The complete writings of, on the CONCHOLOGY OF THE UNITED STATES. 
Edited by W. G. Binney. 
This work consits of 252 pages of text, and 75 plates, containing 323 figures. It in- 
cludes all the descriptions of genera and species ever published by Mr. Say, and also all 
his figures. It will therefore be the first and only complete edition of Say’s Conchologic- 
al Writings ever published, and the most extensive work on the general Conchology of 
the United States, since the greater number of known American species of mollusca were 
described by him. 
The compilation has been made from the following works : 
Nicholson’s Encyclopedia, American editions, with 4 plates. 
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of Ixjndon. 
Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, with 1 plate. 
Long’s Second Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, 2 plates. 
New Harmony Disseminator, book 8vo.,and newspaper form. 
Transylvania Journal of Medicine. 
American Concholog)’-, with 68 plates. 
Synonomy of Western North American Species of Unio, etc. 
The Plates of Nicholson’s Encyclopedia are fac-similes of those originally publi.shed. 
All the other plates have been printed from the copper plates of the original works. One 
copper plate, engraved for Mr. Say, but never published, is added. 
The work also contains a very full Index to all the generic and specific descriptions of 
Mr. Say, and to the synonyms used in his writings, with the name, date, volume, page, 
plate, and figure of the original works containing them.

It is hoped that the work will be encouraged not only by the conchologist, but also by 
all those desirous of placing the scattered and generally inaccessible writings of the fir.st 
and greatest American naturalist in a position to afford that assistance to science which 
their merit enables them to do. 
.. . . — The complete Writings of, on the ENTOMOLOGY OF NORTH AMERICA, edited 
by J. L. Le Conte, M.D., member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 
This work consists of 2 vols., 8vo., of 1226 pages and 55 plates containing about 175 
figures. Having purchased the original copper plates of the American Entomology , the 
drawings of which are so universally admired, and the plates being colored from speci- 
mens in the possession of Dr. I^e Conte (not copied from the old plates), it is believed 
that nothing is wanting in the Illustrations to render them worthy of the praise of Nat- 
uralists.
