Abstract
WHEN we say that the second volume of Dr. Latzel's work is in every way equal to the first we are according to it high praise. The first volume, that which dealt with the Chilopoda, has fully proved itself to be indispensable to every student of the Myriopoda, and it seems to us certain that this second volume, dealing with the other orders, must soon be accorded an even more important place in the literature of this subject. Nine years of close attention to the study of the myriopods have enabled Dr. Latzel not merely to complete a monograph of the species inhabiting his native country, but to complete it in such a manner that he has written a book which must be useful to the student of the myriopoda of any country. Not only has Dr. Latzel given minute descriptions of some 170 species, but he has also furnished tables which make it a matter of ease to determine the genus of any myriopod.
