Abstract
THIS is one of an excellent series of publications dealing with the organisms of the countries bounding the southern part of the Baltic, including Denmark, and those parts of Germany and Holland against the North Sea. This may not be a geographical region, but there are certain similarities in environ ments, both of land and water, so that it forms a convenient entity. Millipedes here are considered in an entirely systematic manner, and they are well treated, with tables for the identifications of family and genus, the whole accompanied by a good biblio graphy. Each species is given an excellent and well-illustrated systematic description, and this is followed by accounts of its biology and distribution. Clearly we have a reference book necessary to every library of zoology and one not likely to be superseded for several decades.
