A MONOGRAPH OF THE FELIX) P, 
OE 
FAMILY OF THE OATS. 
BY 
D. G. ELLIOT, E.E.S.E. &c. 
Under the above designation it is proposed to publish a Work which shall con* 
tain illustrations of all the known species of this Family, both existing and extinct. 
The drawings have been prepared by Mr. Wolf, whose name is a sufficient 
guarantee for their fidelity. Their value will be enhanced from the fact that this 
Work will be the last to contain a complete series of Plates from the pencil of this 
artist. This Work will be issued in Parts, each to contain four Plates, coloured 
by hand-; and it is expected that about twelve Parts will complete the publica¬ 
tion. The, size is Royal Folio. One hundred and fifty copies only will be printed; 
and the Drawings will be erased from the stones as soon as this number is reached. 
The price of each part (to Subscribers only) will be Two Pounds Ten Shil¬ 
lings, payable on delivery ; and it is expected that a subscription will be 
continued until the Work is complete. 
All communications for the Work to be addressed to Mr. R. H. Porter, 
6 Tenterden Street, Hanover Square, London, W., by whom Subscriptions will 
be received.
