ALPHABETICAL LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS OF AUTHORS’ NAMES, 
TITLES OF BOOKS, JOURNALS, ETC. 
Our abbreviations were made before the issue of the list used in the “Zoological Eeoord”, which is 
recommended by the “Deutschen Zoologische Gesellschaft” as a model for such, or we would have adopted at 
least a part of them, but many are far too long to be made use of in a sjuionymy, and others are not practical.
