Zoology. The " Nomenclator Zoologicus " of Agassiz, pub- 

 lished in Solothurn in 1842-46, was succeeded by a volume 

 bearing the same title, compiled by Marschall, and issued in

 "Nomenclator ZooloQ^icus," ^ to which was added a " Univer- 

 sal Index to the Genera and Species named in the Works 

 of Agassiz, Marschall, and Scudder, as well as in tlic Record

 over eighty thousand names. Doctor Leonhard Stejneger is

 raphy of zoology are from the pen of that erudite and indus-

 rangement of the Families of Fishes" (1872) ; "Arrangement 

 of the Families of Mammals" (1872); "Catalogue of the 

 Fishes of the East Coast of North America" (1873); Bibli- 

 ography of the P^ishes of the Pacific Coast of the United 

 States" (1882); "Bibliography of the Reports of Fishery
