PREFACE. 
The present voltime of the Zoological Record has been prepared 
on nearly the same plan as that of last year. The only changes 
are in the staff of Recorders : Mr. Evans having unfortunately 
been obliged, through pressure of other work, to give up the record 
of the Aves, his place has been filled by Dr. R. Bowdler Sharpe ; 
Mr. Latter having been unable to continue the task of recording 
the Brachiopoda , Polyzoa , Ecliinodcrmata , and Sponyicc , the records 
of the two latter groups have been supplied by Mr. Minchm* while 
Mr. Mitchell has undertaken the Brachiopoda and Polyzoa in 
addition to the Mollusca and Vermes. I have the pleasure of 
acknowledging my indebtedness to Mr. B. B. Woodward for much 
assistance in revising the following list of the Abbreviated Titles, 
and in other ways.
