LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS. 
The consecutive order of the words of the title is maintained in the 
abbreviation, except in a few cases where the arrangement of the words 
in the title is very unusual or faulty. 
As an example of the form of abbreviation that is aimed at, we may 
take Bull. Soc. Moscou. The name of the locality is given at greater 
length than the more frequently used portions of the abbreviation. 
Unfortunately some of the abbreviations commonly used are badly 
constructed, e.g., “N. Acta Ac. L.-O. Nat. cur.” This should give place 
to the simpler and more descriptive “ Acta Ac. German.” 
After the titles, the place of publication is given, and this is followed 
by letters indicating the principal libraries in which the works may be 
consulted. The explanation of these letters is as follows : — 
N. = British Museum Natural History : general library. 
Nz. = „ „ library, zoological department. 
Ng. = „ „ „ geological „ 
R. = Royal Society Library. 
Z. = Zoological Society Library 
L. =Linnean „ „ 
C. = Cambridge University Library. 
( C ) p= „ Philosophical Society Library. 
( C ) b, or g, or y = Cambridge Balfour, or Wood wardian Museum, or 
Physiological Libraries respectively.
