British Zoology, Vol. 4 of 4Excerpt from British Zoology, Vol. 4 of 4 I wish it had been in my power to have given a perfect conclusion to the Zoology of our country: but my small acquaintance with Insects, and the fourth division of the VIth class, Lithophyta and Zoophyta, forbad me to meddle with them. The Public has little reason to regret this omission, since the universal genius John Reinhold Forster, has hinted a design of undertaking the first; and my late worthy friend Mr. Ellis, (whom Linnæus so justly stiles Lynceus) has in a great measure executed the last.
