Abstract
PROF, VON GRAFF is the lucky owner of a fine scientific library, which was formed mainly by Carl Theodor von Siebold, his father, and his grandfather, all of whom were professors. This library came into the possession of Prof, von Graff in 1882, and as it was too large for the modest dimensions of a German professor's house, he exchanged many books relating to practical medicine for zoological monographs and periodicals. At Graz the library is freely used by his assistants, pupils, and colleagues, and it is mainly for their benefit that the present catalogue has been issued. It consists of 337 closely printed pages, and is a compilation of considerable value, not only because it gives lists of authors and their works, but because of the admirable way in which the lists are arranged. The contents of the library are grouped under four headings—periodicals, auxiliary books (including works on University systems, bibliographical writings, dictionaries, &c), zoologia generalis, and zoologia specialis.
