Note on a Bibi.ioukaphy of thk CiAi.EODri).«. — Having devoted my leisure moments 

 for some time to a study of the Galeodiilm, I availed myself of the opportunity in the fall 

 of 18S0 to investigate the present condition of the literature of this very interesting and 

 seemingly much neglected group of animals. In doing this, I visited all the principal sci- 

 entific libraries in Cambridge, Boston, New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore, Washington, 

 Chicago and Davenport. I found that this literature was much more voluminous than 1 had 

 supposed, and I soon hart a list of over two hundred and twenty woriis (including different 

 editions of the same work) to be consulted, without taking into account the numerous refer- 

 ences in the works of classic (ireek and Roman authors supposed by Lichtenstein and others 

 to refer to Guleod s or So/pvga. Of these two hundred and twenty works all but about 

 thirty-flve were found in one or more of the libraries visited. Thirty of the works not seen 

 were different editions or translations of the others; thus leaving but five works of import- 

 ance not seen. A complete abstract of each work was made, thus furnishing material for 

 a complete index and historical summary.
