The Completion of a Great Work. 



(Plates X, XI.) 



In the News for November, 1915, page 422, the appearance 

 of the Introductory (and final) volume of the Biologia Cen- 

 trali- Americana* was announced in a quotation from The 

 Times Literary Supplement of London and we then expressed 

 the hope of presenting a more extended notice of the Introduc- 

 tion at a later date. 



The News for December, 1905 (vol. xvi, pp. 317-322) gave 

 a notice of the Biologia as a whole in the state to which it had 

 then arrived: fifty completed and eight incompleted volumes. 

 Other notes on progress made have appeared from time to 



* Biologia Centrali-Americana, Zoology, Botany and Archaeology. 

 Edited by Frederick Ducane Godman and Osbert Salvin, M. A., F. R. S. 

 Introductory Volume. By Frederick. Ducane Godman, D. C. L,., F. R. S. 

 1915. 4to. Pp. viii, 149. 2 pis. 8 maps.
