This is a highly useful work, giving, as mentioned in the title 

 quoted above, the names and addresses of living zoologists, in 

 their different departments. The names are arranged geographi-

 printed together and the whole presented with commendable 

 clearness of typography. A full index at the end of the volume 

 repeats the names, grouped under the special branches of the 

 general science. The work cannot but be found most convenient 

 by all in this department.
