LIST OF PAPEES 



OF WHICH USE HAS BEEN MADE IN THE I'UEPARATION 



OF THIS WORK. 



The following list comprises many of the books and memoirs 

 which have been found useful to the author in the preparation of 

 this work. It is not designed to be exhaustive, and except in the 

 department of Fishes, it is not at all full. The recent elaborate 

 works on Mammals and Birds render references to earlier writ- 

 ings less necessary in the study of those animals than in the study 

 of the Fishes, all the literature pertaining to the latter being, as 

 yet, more or less scattering and incomplete. 



The names of the authors have been arranged in alphabetical 

 order. Several of the longer or more irrelevant titles have been, 

 to save space, shortened or otherwise modified.
