The Reptiles of this country, although few in number and little known, are not devoid of considerable interest. The elucidation of their habits, the distinctive description of the species, their geographical distribution, and the history of the transformation of all the amphibious forms, are amongst the subjects treated of in this volume. In addition to a figure of each species, and of some of the most important varieties, the Illustrations comprise many of structure, developement, and transformation.

"This book ought to be largely circulated, not only on account of its scientific merits, -though these, as we have in part shown, are great and signal, but because it is popularly written throughout, and therefore likely to excite general attention to a subject which ought to be held as one of primary importance. Every one is interested about fishes-the political economist, the epicure, the merchant, the man of science, the angler, poor, the rich. We hail the appearance of this book as the dawn of a new era in the natural history of England."-Quarterly Review, No. 116. the "It contains brief, but remarkably clear, accurate, and satisfactory notices of every species of fish, and also every variety hitherto found in the fresh waters and seas of Britain. They are full of information, are often graphic and amusing in a very high degree, and, being founded upon actual observation, may always be implicitly depended The illustrations are exceedingly beautiful and valuable, and we are quite sure that any one who possesses the figure can be at no loss in instantly recognizing the fish, whenever and wherever he may happen to meet with a specimen."-Dublin Review, No. 3. on.

JOHN VAN VOORST, 1, PATERNOSTER ROW. In the Press, by the Author of the Work, A SUPPLEMENT TO THE HISTORY OF BRITISH FISHES. BY WILLIAM YARRELL, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. &c. Containing about thirty additional species new to Britain, which the Author has derived from various sources since the publication of the work, some of which are also new to Ichthyology. In Preparation, A HISTORY OF THE FISHES OF MADEIRA. BY RICHARD THOMAS LOWE, M.A., British Chaplain. With Original Figures from Nature of all the Species, by the Hon. C. E. C. NORTON and M. YOUNG. The materials for this undertaking are the result of several years' patient investigation and continual revisal on the spot. Several of the genera, and of the species more than one-fourth part, are either new or have been hitherto imperfectly described: the figures will be all engraved and coloured by the same hands which, in co-operation with the Author, have originally drawn them—a combination much in favour of their accuracy and correctness. The work will consist of about thirty numbers, to be published monthly, each containing four plates, with the corresponding letter-press. Price, in royal 8vo, 2s. 6d. plain, 5s. coloured; or, in demy 4to, 5s. plain, 7s. 6d. coloured; with both plain and coloured plates, 6s. 6d. royal 8vo, 10s. 6d. demy 4to. |
