Abstract
THIS volume of reports on problems of economic zoology is very welcome. It represents a type of publication familiar in America, which has never been more than very rare in Britain; it is packed with valuable practical advice which must surely justify zoology in the eyes of any unconverted utilitarian; and it illustrates the nature and amount of scientific information on matters of economic importance which the staff of the zoological department of the British Museum βis almost daily called upon, and is prepared to furnish to the public service or to individuals.β As is well known, this side of the Museum's wrork has been brought into particular prominence since Prof. Ray Lankester became director.
First Report on Economic Zoology.
By Fred. V. Theobald Pp. xxxiv + 192; 18 figures. (London: Printed by Order of the Trustees of the British Museum, 1903.) Price 6s.
