Bibliographia Zoologi Et Geologi Periodicals And The Alphabetical List From A To Byw

Excerpt from Bibliographia Zoologiae Et Geologiae, Vol. 1: A General Catalogue of All Books, Tracts, and Memoirs on Zoology and Geology; Containing Periodicals, and the Alphabetical List From a to Byw The voluminous work which the ray society has here undertaken to publish, has been mainly compiled by Pro fessor Agassiz, during the leisure moments of a life of almost incessant scientific research. Originally prepared for his own private use as an index to the numerous works on Zoology and Geology which he had occasion to consult, the collection gradually increased upon his hands, and the importance of its publication as an aid to other scientific investigators became daily more evident. Not trusting however to the means within his own reach, he established an extensive correspond ence with naturalists in all parts of Europe, from whom he received an immense addition of materials on the scientific bibliography of their respective countries, and he was thus enabled to prepare a catalogue, - not indeed a complete one, for that can never be attained in practice, but far more per feet than any existing, - of all known works and detached memoirs on Zoology and Geology.
