Extrait de la Bibliographie académique. In this 

 extract we can see that the venerable zoologist, Baron 

 de Selys Longchamps, during the space of 56 years, 

 1831 — 1886, has published 214 pamphlets on Birds, 

 Mammals, and Insect:-, containing a very large 

 quantity of descriptions of new species and very 

 interesting notes on many. Baron de Selys Long- 

 champs, now in his 78th year, is still working like a 

 young man, and I hope that he will be able to do so 

 yet for a long time. 



With thanks, 



The Editor.
