Abstract
THIS handsome volume, containing contribu-tions from among the most distinguished of his fellow workers in eleven countries, is dedicated to the eminent zoologist Paul Pelseneer “en temoinage de profonde reconnaissance et de respectueux admiration”. Although he is preeminently a malacologist, his interest in all aspects of zoology is well known, and there are few groups in which he has not worked. A knowledge of this interest is manifest in the wide range of subjects chosen by the sixty-six authors represented, for nearly every animal group is included, from Protozoa to man, and each contributor choosing the subject specially his own in many cases has chosen one already in some measure touched upon by his illustrious colleague.
