SELECT CATALOGUE OF WORKS ON NATURAL HISTORY, AGRICULTURE, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, &c. &c. LATELY PUBLISHED BY HIPPOLYTE BAILLIERE, 219, REGENT STREET. G. R. WATERHOUSE, ESQ. A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE MAMMALIA. By G. R. Waterhouse, Esq. of the British Museum. Illustrated by Engravings on Wood and Copper Plates. Royal 8vo. with Plain Plates, 2s. 6d. and Coloured 3s. per Number. Commenced October 1, 1845. A Number will appear Monthly. (Numbers I to X are out). The Natural History of Mammalia is intended to embrace an account of the structure and habits of all the known species of Quadrupeds, or Mammals; to which will be added observations upon their geographical distribution and classification. Since the fossil and recent species illustrate each other, it is also intended to include notices of the leading characters of the extinct species. The Genera, and many of the species will be illustrated by engravings on steel, and by woodcuts. Of the latter, between fifteen and sixteen hundred figures are executed. The modifications observable in the structure of the skulls, teeth, feet and other parts will be almost entirely illustrated by steel engravings. A Work descriptive of the Genera and Species of Mammalia, was prepared by the Author during the years 1836, 1837, 1838, and a considerable portion of his Manuscript having been prepared for the Press, it is anticipated that no delay will occur in the regular appearance of the Parts, which will be issued Monthly, and will contain three sheets of Letter-press and engraved Plates. It is intended to issue two editions; one with Coloured Plates, 3s. each Part; the other with Plain Plates, 2s. 6d. each. J. B. BOUSSINGAULT.
