Abstract
THE decision of the Zoological Society's council to discontinue the publication of the “Zoological Record “on the grounds of expense suggests somewhat opposing thoughts. It is generally admitted, or even strongly urged, by most workers in every branch of science that some guide to the ever-increasing flood of literature is a necessity. If this was true in 1865, when the “Zoological Record “was started, it is no less true to-day. The need, in fact, must have increased in at least the same direct ratio as the number of publica tions. Yet in zoology, as in geology and other sciences, these guides, records, and indexes have had a perpetual and severe struggle for life, in the course of which many have from time to time succumbed, been revived under another form, and too often again collapsed.
