The First Number of a series of Illustrations of the

Surry Zoological Gardens, by W. H. KEARNEY, is a good specimen of a successful at- tempt to delineate the various animals in a mode of lithography very little employed,-viz. pen and ink drawings in imitation of etching. The animals are Tigers, Barbary Apes, and the Alpaca; which are re- presented with characteristic accuracy, and evince on the part of the artist, a knowledge of the forms, attitudes, and expression of the beasts, and great skill and neatness in the drawing. The plates are accom- panied with descriptive notices in a popular style. The next Number will doubtless be an improvement on the present, as the artist will have become-more familiar with the lithographic material.
