Abstract
A WORD of praise must be given to this further fascicle of a work which is being published gradually by the Government of Ceylon, although it consists only of sixteen figures and a minimum of text. Mr. Henry's pictures are beautiful, and the subjects are mainly tropical species particularly worthy of illustration in colour: the plates have been well reproduced, in handsome format. The birds have not been selected in any obvious order, and the final extent of the work is said to be still undecided.
