A brief account is given of J.E. Gray's Illustrations of Indian Zoology, with notes on the sources of the illustrations published, the engravers of the plates and the publishers. The dates of publication of the 16 parts (12 parts of 10 plates each, three double parts of 20 plates each, and one double part of 22 plates) are given from two sources. An index to trivial names of all included taxa is given so that it is possible to identify the part in which the name appears, as well as the number of the plate in bound copies. A brief discussion of the authorship of the new taxa in this work proposes that, with the exception of the testudines (terrapins), all should be attributed to J.E. Gray.
