The completion of this great work {^. Zool. Bee. vi. p. 
vii. p. 20), the last, unfortunately, that we are to receive from the 
author^s pen, enables us to appreciate fully the labour employed 
in its compilation when we examine the index, consisting of 
nearly 220 pages. It must always be regretted, however, that 
the absence of Teferences renders the work little more than a 
guide-post to the student ; while another drawback lies in the 
many important identifications and corrections which occur in 
almost every page of the index, so as hardly to attract notice. 
Apart from these defects we can only admit the general utility 
of the work, while our admiration for the painstaking courage of 
the author in undertaking so vast a labour at such an advanced 
age is mixed with regret at its having deprived us of one of the 
heads of our science.
