Abstract
ONE of the difficulties facing anyone wishing to study a group of British animals or plants is that of obtaining reliable information on books and papers that will be helpful in their identification. The Association for the Study of Systeniatics in Relation to General Biology, one of the aims of which is to encourage wider and more serious studies in systematics, therefore decided to compile a bibliography on the subject. This laborious task has been accomplished with the help of various experts, mainly of the British Museum (Natural History) and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the book is expected to appear shortly. It contains systematically classified lists of books and papers which may be consulted when studying any given group of British animals or plants. Brief notes on the character and contents of each book and paper are given, so that an idea can be formed as to whether it answers any particular requirements. The whole forms a most useful guide for systematic studies and is certain to achieve its purpose of stimulating scientific interest in the British fauna and flora. Further information can be obtained from the Secretary of the Society at the British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, South Kensington, London, S.W.7.
