APPENDIX II 



A LIST OF BOOKS DEALING CHIEFLY WITH 

 ECOLOGICAL AND SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY OF 

 AMERICAN ANIMALS. 



A. GENERAL SYNOPTIC WORKS 



Leunis, J. Synopsis der Thierkunde. Dritte Auflage von H. Ludwig. 

 2 Bande. Hannover. 1883-86. 



This is the nearest approach to a systematic manual, taking the place 

 in Zoology which Gray's and Coulter's Manuals do in Botany. It deals 

 chiefly with European species ; and has not been translated. 



Thomson, J. A. Outlines of Zoology. 3d edition, with 332 illustra- 

 tions. New York : D. Appleton & Co. 1899. 819 pp. 



An excellent condensed compendium ; in which, however, the struc- 

 tural side predominates. 



Riverside [formerly Standard] Natural History, edited by J. S. Kings- 

 ley. 6 vols. large 8. Boston and New York : Iloughton, Mifliin 

 & Co. Price $30. 



The most important large compendium written by American authors, 

 somewhat after the plan of Brehm's Thierleben. 



Cambridge Natural History, edited by S. F. Harmer and A. E. Shipley. 

 New York : The Macmillan Company. 1894. 



An English work of surpassing merit ; five volumes have ap'peared 

 but the work is still far from complete. 



Klassenund Ordnungen des Thierreich.es, edited (originally) by Bronn. 

 Leipzig u. Heidelberg : C. F. Winter. 



An extensive and thorough work. Although the whole work is not 

 yet completed, some of the volumes are out of date. The most recent and 

 important are the volumes on Protozoa, Porifera, Cu'lenterata, Vermes, 

 Echiuodermata, Crustacea, Mollusca, Reptilia, and Birds.
