The naturalist's year begins in the spring; so does 



"The Guide to Nature." 



ANNOUNCEMENT. 



* 



The time has come for the publication of a popular and accurate 

 magazine of nature, natural science and outdoor interests. The workers 

 have become so numerous, the fields so diversified, the advancements so 

 important and the publications so profuse, that there is positive need of a 

 magazine to unify and coordinate all. The general reader and the casual 

 student and the lover of nature desire a survey of the whole field. The 

 specialist reads the periodicals of his own special department and desires to 

 know in general way what other workers are doing and observing, yet 

 cannot spare money to subscribe to so many magazines nor time to r^ad 

 them. "The Guide to Nature " will supply the need of the general reader, 

 the dilettante naturalist and the technical investigator.. 



The Agassiz Association proposes to publish this magazine as its Official 



Journal. This is in the eternal fitness of things for the AA is the oldest, most 



extensive and most efficient organization in the promotion of the love and 



knowledge of nature. 



A Manual explaining the work of the AA will be mailed upon receipt of ten cents. 

 Address The Agassiz Association. Executive Office: Stamford, Connecticut. 



Nature is always new in the spring, and lucky are we if it 

 finds us new also. — John Burroughs.
