ALPHABETICAL LIST OF ABBREYIATIONS OF AUTHORS’ NAMES, 
- TITLES OF BOOKS, JOURNALS, ETC. 
Our abbreviations were made before the issue of the list used in the “Zoological Kecord”, which is 
recommended by the “Deutschen Zoologische Gesellschaft” as a model for such, or we would have adopted at 
least a part of them, but many are far too long to be made use of in a synonymy, and others are not practical. 
Portions of. abbreviations here enclosed in brackets are often omitted in the text.
