Recenthj published Ornithological Works. 3G3 



The portion dealing -VYith Ornithology has been compiled by- 

 Mr. W. L. Sclater and contains the titles of 1088 publica- 

 tions against 1576 in that of the previous year. Of these 

 284 are from the British Islands as compared with 370 of 

 the previous year, 227 from the United States against 368, 

 197 from Germany against 309, and 57 from France 

 against 130, showing how the war has interfered with 

 scientific work. There have been also many other difficulties 

 to contend with owing to the interrupted communications 

 with neutral as well as enemy countries, and it has been 

 impossible to examine some of the foreign periodicals. 



A copy of the Zoological Record should be in the library 

 of every working zoologist, and if more workers would 

 subscribe for the volume or at least for the part in which 

 they are specially interested, it would be a great help to the 

 Zoological Society, who have assumed very considerable 

 financial responsibilities in order to secure the continuity 

 of this most invaluable Zoological Bibliography. 



The complete volume or the parts can be obtained from 

 the Zoological Society direct or from the publishers.
