Abstract

WE have to congratulate the Zoological Record Association on having brought out this the twenty-first volume of the Record within the year. The publication of the Zoological Record, begun in 1865, was continued from 1871 by this Association, which well deserves every encouragement that the biologist can give to it. It would be a deep disgrace to our British School of Natural History if so valuable a work should be allowed to come to an end after having well and bravely struggled for existence for one- and -twenty years. At present the Association numbers only fifty-three members and seventy-one subscribers, in addition to which several of our public libraries no doubt take their copies from the publishers; but to make the Association a self-supporting one, it should have a couple of hundred new subscribers, and such a number ought to be had from among the numerous students of zoology in this country. A vigorous effort now made might mark this year in the history of the Zoological Record as one of financial success.

The Zoological Record for 1884.

Edited by Prof. F. Jeffrey Bell. (London: John Van Voorst, 1885.)
