    rudimentary little pelvis dangled from the spine , like a seal and testification of the animal ' s reluctance to be confused , even as to its baser parts , with the less exalted class of fishes . The part includes a preface , in the course of which the author

The index is arranged both according to the scientific arid the popular names .

    Part II of the Birds continues the Raptores , or birds of prey . The cuts are excellent , spirited , and highly finished . The pictorial effect of the Swallow-kite , on the

    wing , is extremely rich and powerful . The Kite , on a scrubby peak , and the Buzzard , a typ £ of rapacity in its most pleasing shape of activity , are full of feeling .
