Abstract
WE welcome a further instalment of the parts of this extremely useful work on the natural history of the animals comprising the fauna of Germany. About one-third of the whole has now been issued, and as publication is apparently being pushed forward rapidly, the completion of the work may be looked for at a not too distant date. The parts under notice follow closely the lines laid down by previous parts, and the high level of excellence of the earlier series is well maintained. It is perhaps invidious to select any part for special mention, but the section dealing with the Hymenoptera seems to us to be a remarkably concise account of the biology of this large and varied group of insects. A work on similar lines dealing with the British fauna is urgently needed.
