Abstract
EVERYONE interested in the identification of the species of animals known to the ancients should be grateful to Dr. Keller for carrying to completion an exceedingly laborious task, the difficulties and perplexities of which can only be realised fully by those who have essayed investigations of a kindred nature. Exception may indeed be taken to some of his conclusions—as was pointed out in our review of the first volume—but the general results of the work are of the highest value and importance, and form a solid foundation on which superstructures may be laid later.
