Abstract
SOME account of the progress of this extensive work, in which the veteran naturalist, Dr. H. Burmeister, formerly of Halle, proposes to give a complete physical history of his adopted country, may not be unacceptable. Of the octavo text, which is accompanied by folio atlases, in order to give the illustrations on a large scale, we have seen four volumes, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 5. The fourth volume, which we suppose will contain the birds, is not yet issued, and the atlases in some cases do not appear to be complete.
