/O THE ZOOLOGIST. 



list of his published papers, more than twenty in number, in every 

 one of which we find some new and important observations on the 

 zoology, anatomy, or palaeontology of the group of mammals of 

 which he had made a special study. 



He had long contemplated the publication of an exhaustive 

 monograph on Deer and Antelopes, and with that object had 

 accumulated a large amount of material, not only in the shape 

 of a fine collection of heads and horns, but voluminous notes 

 illustrated with admirable coloured drawings by that unrivalled 

 zoological artist Joseph Wolf. Although, unfortunately, he did 

 not live to perfect this most desirable work, it is satisfactory 

 to know that his labours in this direction will not have been 

 altogether in vain, for his manuscripts and drawings have 

 been placed in the hands of Messrs. P. L Sclater and Oldfield 

 Thomas, who have already commenced to utilize them by the 

 publication in parts of a quarto monograph of the Antelopes, of 

 which two parts are now before us. Of this work we shall have 

 something to say on a future occasion. Meantime we must be 

 satisfied in recommending to the perusal of every naturalist the 

 charming memoir which Mr. Leslie Stephen has just edited. It 

 shows very clearly how the pleasures and pursuits of a sportsman 

 may be made subservient to the ends of science; and how in turn 

 a little scientific training may add largely to the enjoyment to be 

 derived from sport. Sir Victor Brooke was a fine exponent 

 of both, and while his loss will always be mourned by those who 

 had the privilege to know him, his memory will be kept green by 

 the graceful tribute to his worth which is embodied in the 

 volume before us.

The publication of this series proceeds apace, and these two 

 volumes on the Lemurs, Monkeys, and Apes, from the pen 

 of Dr. H. O. Forbes, form an important addition to the set. 



We confess to some surprise at finding the Hominidce 

 included in the same category as the Anthropoid Apes, with the 

 observation (vol. ii. p. 203) that " with this family we reach the 

 culminating point of the zoological tree*" because we have always
