Abstract

“THE Vertebrate Fauna of the Moray Basin,” by Messrs. Harvie-Brown and Buckley, is the latest addition to the series being issued by them on the Vertebrate fauna of Scotland. They have already given us the Vertebrate fauna of Sutherland, Caithness, and West Cromarty; of the Outer Hebrides; of the Orkney Islands; and of Argyll and the Inner Hebrides. When we get, as we are promised before long, that of West Ross and Skye, and of Shetland and Dee, the northern parts of Scotland, so far as the section of its fauna with which our authors concern themselves, will be complete.
