The author was attached as zoologist to the Prussian expe- 
dition to Eastern Asia, which left Europe in the spring of 1860. 
In the part before us he giyes in a connected form the zoological 
observations made by him during the progress of the expedition, 
and enlarged by information contained in the preceding litera- 
ture. Thus we obtain sketches of the zoological characters of 
the countries visited, extremely well written, and with such a 
general zoological knowledge as we rarely meet with in authors 
of the present period of specialities. Separate chapters are de- 
voted to Madeira, the tropical part of the Atlantic Ocean, Bio 
J aneiro, the Southern Atlantic, the Sunda Straits, the Chinese 
Sea, Japan, Shanghai, Tamsui (Formosa), Hongkong, Canton, 
Macao, and the Philippine Islands. It does not appear to have 
been in the plan of the author to enter into specialities of the 
several faunas, except of Japan and China, in which countries 
the expedition stayed long enough to enable him to make a series 
1867. [voL. IV.] B
