ZOOLOGICAL LITERÀTURE.* — After a long delay, owing wholly 
to the tardiness with which zoologists have come forward to its 
support, the sixth volume of this important work has been pub- 
lished. This volume covers the literature for the year 1869, and 
consists of 683 closely printed large 8vo pages, showing that zo- 
ologists were as active during that year as in any preceding. 
With this volume Dr. Giinther retires from the editorship and the 
future volumes will appear, as we understand, under the direction 
of the “ Zoological Record Association,” to which we have previ- 
ously called attention. The British Association have liberally 
aided the publication of the Record by another grant of £100, 
and the several recorders have continued to perform their labors 
without compensation. They are Günther, Newton, Dallas, Rye, 
Marshall, Kirby, M’Lachlan, von Martens, and Wright. 
For the benefit of those of our readers who have not seen the 
previous volumes, we will state that the volume does not consist of 
simple lists of names with references to the books where the spe- 
cies are described, but that a short résumé of each important work 
and paper is given as well as references to all the new genera 
and species described during the year in all countries. 
PARASITES OF Man AND THE Domestic Antmats.t— This is 
an admirable treatise on a subject of great importance to agricul- 
turists. It would make an excellent text book on this subject for 
use in, our agricultural colleges, or, at least a book of reference. It 
begins with the insect parasites, and then treats of the internal 
parasites of the domestic animals as well as man, giving especial 
attention to the tape worms and trichina. It also gives a full ac- 
count of the gape worm of the domestic fowl which we shall re- 
produce elsewhere, as the disease is wide spread, and correspond- 
ents have made inquiries regarding it. 
The remarks upon the mode of treatment and remedies are 
practical, and give the treatise additional value.
