THE

A Quarterly Journal of Biological Science.

In undertaking the conduct of the NATURAL HISTORY REVIEW, the

Editors propose to establish a QUARTERLY CRITICAL JOURNAL OF BIO-

LOGICAL SCIENCE, which, without interfering with existing scientific

periodicals, shall stand in the same relation to naturalists, and other

persons interested in biological inquiries, as that which is occupied by the

ordinary Quarterly Reviews in respect to men of letters and the general

public. They desire, in addition, to offer to all whom it may concern a

means of discussing the general problems suggested by the progress of

biological investigation in a scientific spirit, and without reference to any

but scientific considerations. The Editors will not refuse an original

communication on the ground of any scientific opinion expressed in it.

The Contents of the NATURAL HISTORY REVIEW will be of the

following nature :--

I. Reviews and Reports.

II. Original Articles.

III. Proceedings of Scientific Societies.

IV. Miscellanea.

The first section will embrace criticisms of all important new biological

works published either in this country or abroad, together with careful

Reports upon the present condition of particular branches of Natural

History. The second will comprise such original papers as may be of

sufficient importance to deserve publication, though they may not be of

a nature to demand a place in the Transactions of a Scientific Society.

In the third section will be comprised notices of all the Papers on

biological subjects read before Scientific Societies; and in the fourth

will be given Miscellaneous Notes, and notices of remarkable events in

Natural History.

As the wide extent of Biological Science renders it impossible for

any man to be largely acquainted with more than two or three of its

branches, the Editors have divided the labour of collecting and supervis-

ing the requisite materials according to the scheme on the preceding page.

The Editors do not hold themselves responsible for the opinions ex-

pressed in articles to which their names are not attached, and they

particularly request that all communications intended for the Journal

may be addressed to the Publishers, the words "Natural History Review"

being written upon the outside cover.

THE NATURAL HISTORY REVIEW will be published on the first of

January, April, July, and October. Single numbers, price 48. each, will

be on sale in the usual way. Annual Subscriptions, at the reduced rate

of 128., should be sent to the Publishers direct, who will forward the

Numbers, post free, on the day of publication.
