These included one on "the fishes collected in the seas and freshwaters of British Burma from 1851-64" with watercolour illustrations, a field of study which had been examined by very few fish taxonomists, the earliest work being by Francis Day; a volume on mammals (214 pages); a volume on "insects, reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and crustaceans" (256 pages); and the remaining volumes on birds.
