Abstract
ALTHOUGH on the title-page this volume, which slightly exceeds its predecessor in bulk, bears the date 1903, as a matter of fact it was not in the hands of the public until the beginning of the present year. This slight delay, as the editor informs us, is more than accounted for by certain unexpected changes in the staff of recorders, notably the loss of the services of Prof. J. A. Thomson, who has felt himself compelled to relinquish the compilation of that very important section of the undertaking entitled “General Subjects.” His place, apparently at short notice, has been taken by the editor, who, in addition, is responsible for the insects, as well as for the general supervision of the whole text, and must therefore have had very hard work to complete his task so nearly within the appointed time-limit. The other contributors the loss of whose cooperation the editor has to deplore are Prof. Herdman and Mr. W. A. Brown.
