BIBLIOGRAPHY, A STUDY OF RESOURCES. 165 



FIRST CLASS (mainly bibliographical). i. Zoologischer 

 Anzeiger. This valuable publication is probably well known 

 to you all. It was founded in 1878 by the veteran zoolo- 

 gist, Victor Carus, and publishes at frequent intervals lists 

 of articles grouped according to the class to which they 

 refer. This plan secures relatively prompt publication of 

 the titles, but has the disadvantage that consultation of 

 the completed volumes is exceedingly laborious, for one has 

 to look through lists scattered irregularly through the pages. 

 Owing to the enormous growth of zoological literature it was 

 found necessary to divide the Anzeiger into a volume for 

 original articles and another exclusively for bibliography. 



2. Anatomischer Anzeiger. This journal resembles the 

 Zoologischer Anzeiger very closely in plan and appearance, but 

 differs somewhat in its scope, for it confines itself to the litera- 

 ture which interests the student of vertebrate morphology, and 

 classifies the titles according to the organs to which the papers 

 refer. This magazine was founded in 1886 by Karl Bardeleben, 

 of Jena, and is now the official organ of the German Anatom- 

 ical Society, whose proceedings are issued as an Erganzungsheft 

 of the Anzeiger. 



3. Bibliographic anatomique. A journal of the same general 

 character as the last, but its bibliographical lists are confined 

 exclusively to articles published not in France but in French, 

 a restriction which necessarily appears somewhat absurd 

 as well as characteristically provincial to us. The journal, 

 nevertheless, is an excellent one, and contains valuable original 

 articles, and a certain number of abstracts, which are usually 

 good. It is edited by Professor Nicolas, of Nancy, and was 

 started in 1893. 



4. Monitore zoologico. This little magazine is one which 

 ought to be more widely known in America, and deserves 

 general support. It set the model for the French publication 

 last mentioned, for it was started several years earlier, having 

 begun in 1890. It gives original articles, abstracts, and lists 

 of papers on zoological and morphological subjects, published 

 by Italians, whether in the Italian language or not. Now 

 there is a great deal of important investigation accomplished
