[Attempt at a systematic enumeration of the figures of animals 
represented by the ancient Egyptians, with regard to the present 
fauna of the Nile countries.] 
We shall subsequently refer to the details of this paper, im- 
portant to the zoologist as well as the archaeologist. The present 
part contains the mammals only. 
Hensel, R. Beitrage zur Kenntniss der Thierwelt Brasiliens. 
Zoolog. Gart. 1867, pp. 290-293, 361-374. 
The author, who for several years has been engaged in the 
exploration of the fauna of southern Brazil, has commenced to 
give some of his observations on the Mammalia in a series of 
articles in the journal quoted. Two only have been published 
during the last year ; but they are so full of interest and infor- 
mation that we hope the author will continue them at shorter 
intervals. He directs attention to the fact that the climate of 
southern Brazil is similar to that of southern Europe, that never- 
theless a number of tropical species {Mycetes seniculusj Cebus 
fatuelluSy &c.) are found there, and that the mortality in the 
zoological gardens of Europe would be considerably lessened if 
individuals were imported from these temperate districts, instead 
of from the hottest parts of Brazil.
