 Ludwig. 2 Bande. Hannover. 1883-86. 



This is the nearest approach to a systematic manual, taking the place 

 in Zoology which Gray's and Coulter's Manuals do in Botany. It deals 

 chiefly with European species, and has not been translated.

 trations. New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1899. 819 pp. 



An excellent condensed compendium ; in which, however, the struc- 

 tural side predominates. 



Riverside [formerly Standard] Natural History, edited bj' J. S. Kings- 

 ley. 6 vols., large 8vo. Boston and New York: Houghton, 

 Mifflin & Co. Price $30. 



The most important large compendium written }>y American authors, 

 somewhat after the plan of Brehm's Thierlebcn. 



Cambridge Natural History, edited by S. F. Harmer and A. E. 

 Shipley. New York : The Macmillan Company. 1894-1908. 



An English work of surpassing merit. 



Klassen und Ordnungen des Thierreiches, edited (originally) by 

 Bronn. Leipzig ti. Heidelberg : C. F. Winter. 



An extensive and thorough work. Although the whole w^ork is not 

 yet completed, some of the volumes are out of date. The nrost recent 

 and important are the volumes on Protozoa, Porifera, Ccelenterata, 

 Vermes, Eehinodermata, Crustacea, MoUusca, ReptUia, and Birds.
