Fossil Echinoderms

Abstract

MORE than three years ago a notice appeared in these columns (vol. xiv. p. 445) of the first Part of a new treatise on Palæontology by Professors Zittel and Schimper. Of the first volume, that which is devoted to Palæozoology, and is from the pen of Prof. Zittel, three Parts have now been published. The last one, which deals with the fossil echinoderms, fully justifies the great expectations to which the first gave rise, both text and illustrations being of a very high order of excellence.

Handbuch der Palæontologie.

Unter Mitwirkung von W. Ph. Schimper., Professor an der Universität zu Strassburg, herausgegeben von Karl A. Zittel, Professor an der Universität zu München. I. Band, iii. Lieferung. Mit 195 Original-Holzschnitten. (München: R. Oldenbourg, 1879.)
