occasionally accomplished, but that dolphins were thus regularly 
sent to market. 
We will not further anticipate Mr. Lee, however, by quoting 
from his interesting pamphlet, but will recommend our readers to 
peruse it in its entirety. The account which he gives of the mode 
of capture, transit and manner of feeding the White Whales which 
have been brought to this country, will prove as entertaining as it 
will be new to many. 
Rules for Zoclogical Nomenclature. Drawn up by the late 
H. E. Srrickuanp, M.A., F.R.S. New Edition, by P. L. 
SciaTER, Ph.D., F.R.S. 8vo, pp. 27. London: John Murray 
1878. 
THe Rules originally prepared by Mr. Strickland were first 
printed in the Report of the British Association for 1842, when a 
certain number of separate copies were struck off and distributed. 
In 1863 they were reprinted by Sir William Jardine, under the 
authority and at the expense, of the Association, and they again 
appeared in the Report of the Association for 1865. But as the 
separate copies of these various editions have been exhausted, 
and as there was little chance of obtaining one without purchasing 
the entire volume of Reports in which they originally appeared, 
it has been thought desirable by the General Committee of the 
Association, in view of the great importance of the Rules to 
zoological science and their general usage by naturalists, to reprint 
and publish them at the cost of the Association, in such a form as 
to be, in future, easily accessible. 
The superintendence of this new issue has been entrusted to 
Mr. Sclater, who has “thought it best to adhere closely to the 
original text of 1842, adding to it the Report of 1865, in which 
the proposed alterations are given, the text of 1865 never having 
been properly revised so as to make it accord with the proposed 
alterations.” 
We feel assured that the appearance of this new edition of 
the ‘Rules for Zoological Nomenclature’ will be welcomed by 
naturalists, and we cordially recommend it to the notice of our 
readers.
