83. Bartholomew’s Zoogeography. 
[Atlas of Zoogeography. A Series of Maps illustrating the Distribution

Looking at the mass of information that has been accumu¬ 
lated by zoologists on this subject during the last thirty-five 
years, it was quite time that a new general review of the 
present state of our knowledge of this important branch of 
Zoology should be prepared. This has been effected by the 
publication of the fifth volume of Bartholomew’s ‘ Physical 
Atlas/ which is entirely devoted to what is quite correctly 
called “ Zoogeography.” 
It is, of course, the portion of this handsome work 
assigned to “ Birds ” that mostly interests us, but, as shown 
by Mr. Wallace, the Class of Birds is one of the most 
important factors in the study of Zoological Distribution, 
as more is known about the exact localities of Birds than is 
the case with any other Class of animals. Moreover, the
