From Preface
Nor must I forget favours of the pencil. To my friend Mr. G. J. Bell the volume is indebted for some of its most interesting embellishments : Mr. Alder and Mr. Thompson have also contributed to the ornamental part. The wood-cutting speaks for itself,-thanks to Mr. Bastin, who in the most praiseworthy manner made himself acquainted not merely with the drawings, but with the texture and appearance of the animals themselves, in order the better to express them.
With three exceptions the figures of species are from my own drawings, and with a view to secure correctness were mostly drawn on the wood by myself. ...
Most of the non-technical illustrations are signed with EF - others are clearly marked as by other hands and are not included here. G.W. Wood remarked on Forbe's propensity to make little sketches
