312 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Bryozoa; and on the name Polyzoa and Bryozoa, with which 
the writer of this notice does not agree, but as the reasons for 
dissent have been expressed elsewhere will not here introduce 
this question still sub judice. 
After carefully examining with satisfaction a book written with 
so much care, and showing by the references that Mr. Hincks 
has not only a complete acquaintance with the English fauna, but 
also a large knowledge of the literature, it is with a feeling of 
disappointment that we find, before closing the volume, his “‘ List 
of works on the Polyzoa” so unworthy of the rest; and it is 
difficult to understand on what principle it has been compiled, for 
important works mentioned in the text are omitted, and the 
references are incomplete. For instance, if we want Heller’s 
paper on the Bryozoa of the Adriatic, we should imagine it 
was a separate work, and do not see that it appeared in the 
Proce. of the Zool. Bot. Verein of Vienna; nor would a beginner 
understand that when Ellis is referred to, that it is only his 
first book, and that the enlarged and more important work 
brought out in conjunction with Solander is not noticed. We 
refer to Hatschek’s paper, and find only “Zeitschrift,” which 
can hardly be considered sufficient, seeing there cannot be 
less than one hundred scientific journals called “ Zeitschrift.” 
Strange to say, this omission to particularize the Journal occurs 
many times. The reference to the papers of Milne-Edwards is 
incomplete, and those by Leidy and Dawson are referred to in 
the text, but not in the list. Again, if some of the works on 
tertiary fossils, as those of Reuss and Manzoni, are mentioned, 
we cannot see why the papers of Stoliczka and Gabb and Horn 
should not also have a place. Perhaps Mr. Hincks, knowing 
that several papers on the Australian and New Zealand Bryozoa 
have been written by authors almost wholly unacquainted with 
the group, thought it best to ignore them; but we do not agree 
in this, so long as they are quoted in the text, where, however, 
we should have been glad to know if Mr. Hincks had confirmed 
the authors’ determination, since many are not to be relied on 
even for genera. On the whole, this book, with its excellent 
plates, does great credit both to the author and artist, as well as 
to the publisher, and we hope it will find the place it deserves in 
all zoological libraries.
