Excerpt from Zoological Researches in Java, and the Neighbouring Islands Throughout the continuance of these Zoological Researches, I have unin terruptedly enjoyed the support of the Artists originally engaged for the illustra tions. To William Daniel], Esq. I am indebted for the drawings of the Quadrupeds, and Mr. Williamtaylor has, with great assiduity, afforded the aid of his skill in the Engravings. The greatest preportion of the Birds has been drawn on stone by Mr. Auguste Pelletier, who has likewise been charged with the superintendence of their colouring. In several of the Birds Mr. John Curtis has afforded his assistance, both in the drawing and engraving: the illustration of the new genera requiring a minuteness of detail, which could not with equal effect be given on stone.
