Abstract
NEARLY three years have elapsed since we received the first volume of the English edition of Prof. Karl A. von Zittel's well-known “Grundzüge der Palæontologie.” We therefore open the newly published second volume with some fear lest the long delay in its production be due to a complete remodelling, such as that which we criticised on the last occasion. This new nstalment, however, is a welcome surprise; for, while the sections with which it deals have been judiciously edited and somewhat brought up to date, the author's original plan is strictly followed, and it still remains essentially the work of the Munich professor.
