Catalogue of the Zoological Collection obtained by N. M. Przewalsky 
during his Journey in Central Asia. St. Petersburg : 1887. Text, 
12mo, 34 pp. ; atlas, 4to, with 11 photographic plates. [Omitted 
from Zool. Rec. xxiv.] 
This work is written in Russian, and has no author’s name. The atlas 
contains figures of skulls, and stuffed specimens of a large number of 
Mammals arranged in groups In the text these forms are catalogued 
under their scientific names, a number of the scientific names being new. 
Since, however, there is no authors name, and at least many of the new 
species have no diagnosis, these names must be regarded merely as MS. 
ones, and accordingly are not quoted.
