International catalogue of scientific literature: First annual issue. N-Zoology. pt. 1, Author catalog: pt. 2, Subject catalog, ea. [*]$8.40. imp. Blakiston.
“The work is planned to include the zoölogical literature for the year 1901, altho one is compelled to analyze the preface in order to determine the period covered since no record of its extent appears on title page of either part.... Part I. contains the general explanations, with the scheme of classification and an index thereto in English; and this matter is repeated in French, German and Italian. Following these, the author catalog fills 260 pages and lists 5,918 titles. Part II., which is about three times as voluminous, contains at the close a list of journals with abbreviated titles and the topographical classification. More than 1100 pages are filled with the subject references proper. The addition to each phylum of a list of names of new genera and species will commend itself to all as a most desirable feature.”—Science.
“With respect to promptness, completeness and accuracy the results are distinctly inferior to those already achieved for zoölogy by several bibliographic agencies.” Henry B. Ward.

[*] “It is for the most part clearly written in an interesting style, it gives just the facts which an American might wish to know, and its conclusions are given with an impartiality, honesty and forcefulness which must carry the greatest weight in the minds of the unprejudiced.” James T. Young.
