_Trials._--The Catalogue of the Library of the Philosophical Inst.i.tution of Edinburgh (1857) contains (pp. 297-319) a very useful list of trials in an alphabet of the persons tried. The table is arranged under name, charge, date of trial, and reference.

_Voyages and Travels._--Locke's Catalogue and character of most books of Voyages and Travels is interesting on account of Locke's notes. (Locke's Works, 1812, 10 vols. 8vo., vol.

x. pp. 513-564.)

There are catalogues of books of travels in Pinkerton's collection (1814), and Kerr's collection (1822).

---- Boucher de la Richaderie, Bibliotheque Universelle des Voyages, Paris, 1808. 6 vols. 8vo.

---- Engelmann (W.). Bibliotheca Geographica. Leipzig, 1858.

_Zoology._--Aga.s.siz's Bibliographia Zoologicae et Geologicae, published by the Ray Society, 1848-54, was a useful book in its day, but it is of no value bibliographically, and the t.i.tles being mostly taken at second-hand, the work is full of blunders.

---- Carus and Engelmann's Bibliotheca Zoologica, Leipzig 1861, forms a Supplement to the Bibliotheca Historico-Naturalis of Engelmann.
