"The book in its original form is well known to naturalists, and
   it would be difficult to find another volume of its size which
   conveys in so agreeable a manner so much accurate and trustworthy
   information on the subject of which it treats. We promise to
   those who have never yet read this book a rare treat from its
   perusal."--_Zoologist._

                       THOMAS SOUTHWELL, F.Z.S.,

  _Member of the British Ornithologists' Union, Vice-President of the

     AND A GUIDE TO THE COLLECTION OF PICTURES, WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF
                   THE "NORWICH SCHOOL" OF ARTISTS BY

   "Mr. Southwell is himself an authority on natural history, and he
   has contrived to invest his description of the various specimens
   with a liveliness and vigour, as well as a scientific accuracy.
   He has taken care to include every object of importance, and his
   work should at once take its place as the popular guide to the
   Museum."--_Bookseller._

   "An interesting and useful guide to the collection in the Museum.
   It is not merely a catalogue, but a popular natural history, in
   which the specimens in the cases are used as illustrations.
   Sightseers will pleasantly acquire a knowledge of the leading
   characteristics of the different groups of animals, and students
   will gain a large amount of sound instruction."--_Nature._

   "There is an abundance of useful information confined in a small
   compass, while there are many capital illustrations."--_The
   Record._
