12e Congrès international de Zoologie tenu à Lisbonne du 15 au 21 Septembre 1935

Abstract

THE proceedings of the twelfth International Congress of Zoology which met at Lisbon in September 1935 have now been published in three handsome volumes, which form part of the series iCArquivos do Museu Bocage"issued by the Zoological and Anthropological Section of the National Museum at Lisbon. About two hundred papers communicated to the Congress are printed in full in the three volumes (each of nearly nine hundred pages) and they are illustrated by a hundred plates, some of which are in colour, in addition to many text-figures. The preparation and editing of this vast amount of material (in five languages) must have imposed a heavy burden on Prof. A. R. Jorge, the president, and Prof. F. Trade, the general secretary of the Congress, and they are to be unreservedly congratulated on the result. The printing and illustrations reach a very high standard, and it is evident that neither trouble nor expense has been spared. Those who had the good fortune to experience the lavish hospitality with which the Congress was entertained at Lisbon will be grateful to their Portuguese hosts for having provided such a worthy record of a memorable occasion.
