 The objects of this work are : 



(a) to provide Zoologists with a list of all the generic and specific names 

 that have been applied by authors to animals since i January 1758 ; 

 (l>) to give an exact date for each quotation ; 

 (c) to give a uniform quotation for each reference, sufficiently full to be 



intelligible alike to the specialist and the layman. 



The work has been conducted in the Geological Department Library, 

 British Museum (Natural History), under the personal care of Dr Henry 

 Woodward. 



Valuable assistance with the rarer literature has been afforded by public 

 and private libraries and zoological specialists, both at home and abroad. 



Volume I includes all references from i Jan. 1758 to 31 Dec. 1800, thus 

 dealing with the rarer literature, which is difficult of access, and of vital im- 

 portance to the consideration of the systematic nomenclature of animals, 

 concerning which much confusion undoubtedly exists.
