The “Zoological Record”

Abstract

IN acknowledging with thanks the kindly notice of the last volume of this publication given in NATURE, vol. xxi. p. 392, I trust I am not out of order in referring to one or two sentences in it that require explanation. If the reviewer knew the difficulty of getting competent recorders at the slight remuneration we can offer, he would also appreciate the impossibility of enforcing uniformity in treatment of the separate subjects: the work is almost done as a favour, and each writer has his own idea as to the method most likely to be useful, and would probably desire all the others to conform to his standard.
