In conclusion, I must not omit to place on record my high appreciation ofthe accuracy of the Figures and the delicacy of the colouring of the Platesdrawn by Mr. Horace Knight, which comprise a considerable number of thePlates in the second and the whole of those in the third Volume. The beautyof his Figures has largely contributed to the attractiveness of the book. H. G. GE0SE-8MITH. 5, Bkyanston Square, Hyde Pake, , 1902. LUGiLLA.
