    Zoology has 10 divisions, of which, e.g., 596 is Verte- brata. The zoological classification has been worked out in detail by the Concilium Bibliographicum of Zurich, and such portions of it as are needed are used in the present bibliography. A detailed classification of the seas of the world has not yet been made, and is attempted here for the purposes of Marine Zoology. In accordance with the practice of the Concilium and the Institute, the geographical numbers are distinguished from the systematic by being enclosed in round brackets. The position of the present bibliography in the general system is as follows: 5 Natural Science. 9 Zoology. 1 The Zoological Disciplines. 9 Geographical Distribution. (2 Physical Eegions. 6) The Sea. LIST OF CLASSES. Numbers in square brackets are not in use alone, and are inserted only to explain those subordinate to them. Geographical Numbers*. [5919 (26... 0)] World-wide. For works on the fauna of more than one Ocean. (00) General. (01) Plankton only, oceanic and neritic. (03) Abyssal fauna (oceanic benthos) only. (04) Oceanic fauna only, plankton and benthos. The above figures (-01, -03, -04) may be used to subdivide any of the Oceans or mixed areas below. [(09)] For works limited to two neighbouring Oceans; without bathymetrical restrictions.
