Amongst the volumes in preparation, we are glad 
to have it in our power to announce one on the or- 
dinary Cetacea as well as the herbivorous kinds, with 
the most noted of the Amphibia Nantes, including, 
besides the Natural History of the Whalebone and 
Spermaceti Whales, the Grampus, Dolphins, Por- 
poises, the Dugongs or prototypes of the Mermaids, 
&c., the Seals and Walrus or Sea-Horse, an account 
of the capture of these animals in both hemispheres, 
with the dangers attendant upon this hazardous em- 
ployment. Every one is aware of the importance 
and interest of this subject to the zoologist, and we 
hope to render it equally so to the general reader, 
especially by means of the Illustrations, in which we 
shall not fail to introduce portions of Arctic scenery, 
together with the suitable accessaries of icebergs, and 
the “ besetment” of ships in the ice. 
The concluding or second volume of the Rumi- 
nantia is far advanced, and will make its appearance 
at the usual interval. It will be embellished with a 
Portrait and Memoir of John Hunter; and, among 
other illustrations, well amplified figures of the Goat, 
the Sheep, the Cow, the Bison, the Musk Ox, the 
Buffalo, the Wild Cattle of Britain, &c.
