A New Scientific Serial¹

Abstract

THE imposing series of four octavo volumes before us is the embodiment of the first five years' work in the new Museum of the Austrian capital. Of the nature and plan of the building itself our readers have already been made aware; the collections housed within it are rich in types and specimens of priceless value, and its affairs are administered by a large and efficient staff of specialists, many of whom have attained a world-wide reputation. The directorship lies in the hands of Dr. Franz Ritter von Hauer.
