ray Firth;we have also spoken of the great Geological fault,and have mentioned other matters of minor significance,whilst describing the features of the area. Some of ourreaders may desire to obtain fuller information uponthese and other points, and here and there, generally infootnotes, we have indicated some of the sources whencesuch information may be obtained. Finally, if it be allowable at all for authors to plead,we would like to put in a little word in justification ofour treatment of this area in two volumes. The areatreated of is quite double the size of any of the subjectsof our previous volumes; the features of the country aremuch more varied, and, consequently, to illustrate theseefiiciently requires many more Plates. The Fauna itselfis more extensive, and bears points of interest quitedifferent from those of insular or western areas. Tohave made one large, thick volume would have renderedthe book clumsy and heavy to handle. J. A. HARVIE-BROWN.T. E. BUCKLEY. November 1895.
