Recensionen. 



R. Lydekker (Annais und Magazine of Natural History) : Stupendous task... 

 All naturalists owe him a debt of gratitude, the extent of 

 which is almost impossible to express in words ... Dr. T. 

 must possess patience and industry far above the average, 

 while he has also the technical knowledge of his subject 

 which raises the work to a much higher level than the ef- 

 forts of the mere Compiler and bibliographer. In the name 

 of our fellow students we beg to tender to the learned au- 

 thor our most hearty congratulations and thanks. 



Dr. C. H. Merriam ('Science'): Of such great practical utility, that 

 for years to come every student of living or fossil mammals 

 must keep a copy at his elböw and will owe to its author 

 a debt of gratitude. 



Dr. J. A. Allen ('The American Naturalist') : Mammalogists owe to Dr. T. 

 a large debt of gratitude . . . A work which will prove an en- 

 during monument to the patience, industry and scientific 

 acumen of its author . . . The labor involved in this coni- 

 pilation is thus beyond easy conception, and its value to 

 fellow-workers is inestimable. 



M. R. 0. Thomas ('Natural Science') : Got up by Messrs. Friedländer in 

 a superior style... Will have to bein the library of every 

 mammalogist and will be of more use than the great majo- 

 rity of more portentious works.

Gossmann ('Revue critique de Paleozoologie') : Ce catalogue comble 

 une reelle lacune ... Nous n'avons pas ä faire l'eloge de 

 notre savant collaborateur , dont la competence est bien 

 c o n n u e. 



Revue Scientifique: Extremement complet, et tout ä fait 

 remarquable par l'abondance et la richesse des informa- 

 tions . . . II a fallu une patience et un labeur vraiment f o r - 

 midables . . . Tous les hommes de science doivent etre 

 reconnaissants ä M. Trouessart de sa hardie et laborieuse 

 initiative. 



Natur: Eine ausserordentlich v erdie ns volle Arbeit, die durch 

 Berücksichtigung der fossilen Arten einen d o p p e 1 1 e n "W" e r t 

 gewinnt. 



Prof. H. N i t S C h e ('Litterarisches Centraiblatt') : Die mühsame Arbeit ist 

 höchst dankenswert und wird allen nachfolgenden Bearbei- 

 tern einschlägiger Themata ihre Untersuchungen wesent- 

 lich erleichtern. 



B. Langkavel ('Zoologisches Centralblatt') : Ein unentbehrliches Hand- 

 und 'Nachschlagebuch.
