II. NOTES ON BOOKS 



The literature of Carcinology is bewildering in its 

 extent, and is for the most part scattered through 

 the volumes of scientific periodicals and the publica- 

 tions of learned societies in most of the languages of 

 Europe. A guide to the current literature is pro- 

 vided by the Zoological Record^ the latest volume 

 of which, relating to the year igog, enumerates no 

 fewer than 337 papers dealing wholly or in part with 

 this group of animals. 



The following short list of books in the English 

 language may be of some help to the beginner. . 

 Most of them give references to the literature which 

 will provide the necessary guidance towards a further 

 study of the subject.
