Zoologist. — " This is one of the most important zoological publications in recent 

 years ; it makes a mighty concordance for the use of specialists, and affords a vade fnecum 



in zoological technics We trust the author will complete his self-imposed task ; and, 



although the labour is prodigious, and the circulation of the published results only limited, 

 he has the satisfaction of knowing that the volume — and we trust volumes — must reach 

 the hands of those for whom it is designed, and long after we and our views are forgotten, 

 it is likely that the zoologists of the future will often advise on this subject — ' consult 

 Sherborn."
