Completes the grand work commenced by Lacordaire in 1854. This 
volume, besides the usual index, contains a classified table of the families, 
tribes, groups, and genera discussed in the entire work, and also an 
alphabetical table of the families, groups, and genera (including synonyms), 
with references in each case to volume and page. Dr. Ohapuis, who 
has so ably fulfilled the task left uncompleted at Lacordaire’s death, 
explains that the MS. was out of his hands before receiving the publica- 
tions of Crotch & Baly upon groups discussed in this and the preceding 
volume. Reviewed by E. v. Harold, 0. H. xv. pp. 131-133 ; cf. also Pet.
