The Zoological Record for 1877; being Volume Fourteenth of the Record of Zoological Literature

Abstract

IT is now just fifteen years ago since the project of the Zoological Record was first started by Dr. Günther. The difficulties of the undertaking were many, the labour was great, the reward uncertain. It would seem a proof, however, of there being a necessity for such a publication when we find it still pursuing the even tenour of its way, under the auspices at present of an association, and favoured by considerable money grants from the Royal Society, the British Association, and the Zoological Society of London. The original staff of recorders have now all but Dr. von Martens ceased from their recording labours and a younger generation takes their place.
