XVI.—J. F. Miller's leones . 
By C. Davies Sherborn and Tom Iredale. 
Miller’s leones Animalium : [Various Subjects o£ Natural 
History] 1776-1785, may be regarded as a rare book. 
Drvander, Oat. Bibl. Banks, states “10 pp., 60 pis.”; 
Pritzel copies him ; Watts gives no details, but wrote 
44 London, 1785 : Large folio. £6. 6. 0.” Lowndes says 
44 1785. 176 pp., 12 pis. and 2 leaves of text”; Engelmann 
contents himself with 44 In Nos. 1785.” FJiminating 
Lowndes’ entry which is obviously incorrect, the conclusion 
can be reached that the book was issued in 10 parts and 
contained 60 plates, which is the extent of the 4 Oimelia 
Physica,’ a well-known work. The 4 Cimelia Physica ’ was 
issued in 1796, and consists of 60 plates by Miller with 
106 pages of explanatory text written by George Shaw. 
When Sherborn completed the 4 Index Animalium’ 1758- 
1800, the only known (to him) copy was in the British 
Museum from Sir Joseph Banks’s library, and this contained 
* Named binominally and no author given, as it is not clear which 
Quail is intended.
