CORRESPONDENCE 
the zoological record 
The Editor, Journal of Mammalogy : 
I should be glad if you would draw the attention of your readers to the present 
position of the Zoological Record. 
Owing to the collapse of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature, 
in connection with which the Record was published from 1906 to 1914, the Zoolog- 
ical Society of London has undertaken to bear the v/hole financial responsibility 
for the preparation and printing of the Record. 
Owing to the great increase of the cost of printing and to the very meagre 
support accorded to the Record by zoologists and zoological institutes generally, 
the financial burden of this undertaking on the Zoological Society is becoming 
very severe. The cost of printing the Record now amounts to between £1500 
and £2000 annually and the Society receives back by subscribers and sales less 
than 25 per cent of this sum; I fear, therefore, unless zoologists are prepared to 
make greater efforts to support the undertaking, there is a strong possibility that 
the Council of the Zoological Society may refuse to find this large sum each year.
