Abstract
TO take stock from time to time of the progress made in its different branches is advantageous in the case of every science, but in none more so than in zoology, where specialisation is now carried to such an extent that the workers in one section have in general but little acquaintance with what their brethren are doing in another. This same subdivision of work renders it, however, extremely difficult for any single writer to give any adequate account of what has been effected during the last year or two in all the different branches of the science, the difficulty being enhanced by the circumstance that the one for 1898 is the latest volume of the “Zoological Record” that has at present been published. All that can therefore be attempted in the present article is to give a fairly full résumé of the more notable advances in the branches of zoology with which the writer is best acquainted, and to make mention of such discoveries in other sections of the subject as may have come under his notice.
