Abstract
PROF. ABEL, of Vienna, is a most voluminous writer on extinct animals, and even the difficult circumstances of the time do not impair his energy and enthusiasm. He has now produced a most interesting volume summarising our present knowledge of the past history of the backboned animals, and his technical descriptions are illustrated by numerous up-to-date figures which are refreshing by their newness in a text-book. The work is not merely a laborious compendium, but is enlivened by many critical observations based on Prof. Abel's own researches.
