PREFACE. 
The origin and object of the present work, and the mode of its execution have been fully explained in the 
preface to the First Series. The present volume, containing fifty plates as the former, has been prepared 
under the same circumstances. It contains figures of many of the most interesting novelties recently added 
to the Zoological Society’s living collection, amongst which special attention may be called to the series 
of Pheasants, of which figures are given in Plates xxxii. to xxxix. 
The whole of the original drawings, from which the plates of the present work have been prepared have 
been recently framed and mounted, and are now exhibited in the Picture Gallery in the' Society’s Gardens 
in the Regent’s Park.
