Abstract
UNDER the above title Mr. Gustav Fischer is issuing a new zoological journal, of which a variable number of parts are to appear each year, the whole to form an annual volume at the price of sixty marks. As no prospectus is issued with the part now before us, we are unable to indicate the ground which the publication is specially intended to cover. The present part contains 238 somewhat closely printed 8vo pages, illus-J trated by fifty text-figures; and from this we presume that plates do not enter into the scheme of the new venture. The name of the editor is a sufficient guarantee that only papers of a high order willbe, accepted for publication, this being fully borne out by the contents of the initial number. These comprise a discussion on chromosomes by Mr. Valentin Hacker, of Stuttgart; an article by Dr. Richard Heymons on the Various types of insect metamorphosis, and their relation to the metamorphoses of other arthropods; and another, by Mr. O. Maas, of Munich, on the scyphomedusse. The new enterprise has our best wishes for success.
