Wood was born in Ontario in 1856. Born of American parents in Wellington, educated in Canada and Europe, and after his professional career in England the United States, visiting and residing in any part of the world he chose, Dr. Wood was an international figure. This useful bibliography is divided into three sections. Nineteen chapters preceding the actual catalogueof publications in this work evidence a comprehensive knowledge of the history and purport of zoological literature. Section A reviews the literature of Vertebrate zoology, so far as it is represented in McGill libraries, from the earliest times to1930. Section B furnishes a convenient, short-title index of the same literature arranged geographically and in chronologic order. Section C, the largest of the three, is a partially annotated catalogue of the printed books, periodicals, originaldrawings and manuscripts in the Blacker and other zoological collections of McGill, to which have been added important other holdings. In all 15,000 items are described, many with useful annotations. Besterman 6406
