Abstract
IT is a striking proof of the high estimation in which science is held by the authorities of the Congo Free State that they have devoted, so much expense to the publication of the beautiful volume now before us, and it, is also fortunate for science that the material was placed in the hands of so highly competent an ichthyologist as Mr. Boulenger. Already a lavishly illustrated quarto volume (“Annales du Musée du Congo”) had been issued containing descriptions and figures, by the same author, of new genera and species of fishes recently discovered in the Congo, and now comes the present work, the twenty-five plates of which are “half-tone” reproductions of the lithographs illustrating the descriptions in the “Annales.”
Les Poissons du Bassin du Congo.
Par G. A. Boulenger. Pp. lxii + 532. (Bruxelles: Publication de l'État Indépendant du Congo, 1901.)
