THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that it's results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
AS Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian, the species of rodents
known in 1880 were only go in num-
Der; now they are 1000. The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in 81
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1900, divided among 100 genera. This
family is the most numerous of the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur ALE.
