During the publication of the "Animal Kingdom,"
M. Guerin has produced in France a series of en-
gravings, under the title " Iconographie du Regne
Animal," illustrating nearly all the genera and sub-
genera of that work, including not only reduced
copies of the most esteemed existing engravings of
animals, but also a vast number of original figures of
hitherto unpublished species, especially of insects and
other invertebrata. M. Guerin has, moreover, added
to these a most valuable series of anatomical figures,
displaying, to the eye, much more intelligibly than
words can do to the understanding, the peculiari-
ties of structure on which Cuvier has founded his
arrangement of the animal kingdom.
This work of M. Guerin has received the highest
commendation, not merely from Cuvier himself, but
also from most of the first zoologists in France, and
is certainly of the greatest utility in the study of the
work it is intended to illustrate, superseding, in a

very great measure, constant references to Nature
herself, otherwise necessary to those who would
understand any natural system of arrangement.
The proprietors of the " Animal Kingdom" having
now redeemed their pledges to the subscribers, by
completing the work within the limits originally
—
prescribed, pledges which were made before
—
Guerin's work was thought of, have been strongly
urged to publish the whole of these illustrations.
Some of them have been already copied in the
" Animal Kingdom ;" and in order to render that
work as useful as possible, it is proposed to publish
the remainder as a Supplement to it, at as low a
price as may be consistent with the proper execution
ofthe plates.
The Iconography will moreover form a distinct
work, or it may be applied to illustrate any general
Zoology, as well as that of the Baron Cuvier. It
will be published in ten or twelve Monthly Parts,
to be completed contemporaneously with the original
work in France, which will be early in 1836. A
description of the figures will accompany the last
Part.
