,T affords us much satisfaction to be able to announce 

 that an amalgamation has been effected between our 

 Journal and that of the Wesley Scientific Society. 

 The President of this Society is the Rev. Dr. Dal- 

 linger, F.R.S., etc. — too well known in scientific circles 

 to need any introduction to our readers. The organizing 

 ^^ Secretary and Editor, the Rev. W. Spiers, M.A. 

 j)Y(9 (Lond.), F.G.S., F.R.M.S., who for some years has 

 2'^ been a frequent writer on scientific subjects and was 

 the originator of the Wesley Scientific Society, will be 

 associated with me in the editorship. 



This accession to our constituency will enable us to 

 enlarge the Journal to 70 or 80 pages, and will also 

 make it possible for us to provide additional illustra- 

 tions and papers on various branches of Natural 

 Science. 



The general character and quality of the Journal 

 will be maintained, and, we trust, improved. 



We beg to express the hope that our contributors and sub- 

 scribers will continue to give us their valuable help, and will do 

 all in their power to extend the usefulness of the Journal.
