In all these volumes the literature is abundantly cited, and 

 they usually include exceedingly valuable bibliographies, in 

 most cases classified by subjects. When we consider the value 

 of these lists of authorities, and in our minds add the value of 

 Bronn' s TJiierreich as the fullest existing repository of zoologi- 

 cal facts, we necessarily rank this invaluable compendium among 

 the few books indispensable to every zoological laboratory. 



III. Current Bibliographies, or periodicals devoted wholly or 

 in great part to recording the current literature in a given 

 field. We may consider such bibliographies conveniently 

 under two heads : first, annual publications ; second, periodical, 

 that is, issued at shorter intervals. 



A. Annital Publications. — The succession of these may 

 be said to have been fathered by MUller's ArcJiiv fiir Ajiatomie, 

 Physiologic 71 fid wissenscJiaftliche Medizin. M tiller's Joiirnal 

 was the continuation of Reil's, Reil and Autenrieth's, and 

 J. F. Meckel's Archiv. It was begun in 1834, and is continued 

 to-day, but in 1877 was divided into two AbtJieilungen {Anato- 

 mische and Physiologische), each making an annual volume. 

 The whole series constitutes the most important morphological 

 and physiological single publication in the world. Johannes
