MADE FOR THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, FROM ANIMALS IN THEIR VIVARIUM. EDITED, WITH NOTES, BY PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., SECRETARY TO THE SOCIETY. T H I S series of Drawings was undertaken with the object of preserving a faithful record of the living characters of the most rare and interesting Animals in the Vivarium of the Zoological Society of London. In selecting the subjects, particular regard has been paid to those species which exhibit aptitude for acclimatization, either as objects of economic value, or simply as additions to the Exotic Animals which are now so frequently seen in the parks and on the ornamental waters of Europe. The Drawings have been executed in Water Colours, after most careful study, by Mr. W O L F , who may be fairly said to stand alone in minute knowledge of the habits and forms of Mammalia as well as of Birds; and the Lithographic copies, partly printed in colour and then finished by hand, are in such exact fac-simile as to be scarcely distinguishable from the originals. The Letterpress, prepared by the Editor, embraces all particulars of interest relating to the general history, habits, distribution, and use of the Animals illustrated in the Plates.
