Blyth and considerably revised by an anonymous author who provided a free translation.

The author provides a rich exploration of the evolution and adaptation of each group. The book is based on the classication system of Cuvier, modied by the discoveries of subsequent naturalists. Many notable species are included in each order's description, with special attention given to domestic animals.
