INDEX-VOLUME 
OF THE 
ZOOLOGICAL EE COED. 
-'Kl'fQ^OO- 
T HE Council of the Zoological Society has given instructions for the 
publication of an Index-Volume to the new generic names mentioned 
in the ‘Zoological Record,’ Vols. xvii.-xxxvii. (1880-1900). 
The Volumes previous to Vol. xvii. have been indexed in the ‘ Nomen- 
clator Zoologicus ’ of Scudder, published by the Smithsonian Institution in 
1882. The contemplated Index-Volume of the ‘Zoological Record,’ in order 
to increase its usefulness, will include names omitted from Scudder’s list 
and from the volumes of the ‘ Zoological Record.’ Thus zoologists may 
have at their disposal (in the ‘Nomenclator Zoologicus’ and the new Index 
together) a complete list of all the names of genera and subgenera used in 
zoology up to the end of 1900. 
It is earnestly requested that any one who knows of names omitted from 
Scudder’s ‘ Nomenclator,’ or from the volumes of the ‘Zoological Record,’ 
will forward a note of them, together, if possible, with a reference as to 
where they have been noticed or proposed, so that the new list may be 
made practically complete. Such information should be addressed to the 
Editor of the ‘Zoological Record,’ 3, Hanover Square, London, W.; or to 
C. O. Waterhouse, Esq., British Museum, Natural History, S. Kensington, 
London, who is engaged in compiling the list. 
The terms of subscription to the Index-Volume will be to Subscribers 
to the ‘Zoological Record,’ 10s.; to other Subscribers, 15s. 
Subscribers to the ‘ Zoological Record ’ itself should intimate their 
intention to subscribe to the Index-Volume, as, unless they do so, their 
names will not be placed on the subscription-list. 
A limited number of copies (beyond those required for Subscribers) will 
be printed. These will be placed at the disposal of the public, at the 
price of £1 per copy, by the Society, and by Messrs. Gurney & Jackson, 
1, Paternoster Row, E.C. 
Subscribers’ names may be sent to the Zoological Society of London at 
once; the subscription-list will be closed on the 1st Dec., 1901, and 
subscriptions must be paid before that date.
