GREVILLEA 



The present number (No. 21, .Fane, 1874) completes the second 

 volume of this Journal, and terminates the monthly issue. From 

 this time " Grevillea " will be issued quarterly, on the 1st of 



September, December, March, and June respectively, and each 



number will consist of the same amount of letterpress and illus- 

 trations as hitherto have been comprised in three monthly numbers, 

 so that really no difference in size will take place. The price of 

 each single number will be one shilling and sixpence, or six 

 shillings per annum. Subscribers by payment of five shillings per 

 annum (exclusive of postage) in advance, will receive it by post as 

 soon as published. The postage for Great Britain and Ireland 

 will amount to four pence for the year, and for foreign countries 

 one shilling, or one shilling and four pence, in the majority of cases, 

 according to Postal Tariff. Subscribers are solicited to observe 

 promptitude in payment of their subscriptions, and to use their 

 efforts to extend the circulation so as to relieve the Editor from any 

 fear of having to conduct the journal at a pecuniary loss. It is 

 hoped that the reduction in cost of Foreign postage during the 

 year will increase the number of subscribers abroad, and somewhat 

 compensate others for the change, which for economical reasons 

 has been found necessary. 



It is a source of gratification that a Journal devoted to such a 

 special subject should have been maintained for two years, con- 

 tinuing the meanwhile to extend itself at home and abroad so as to 

 attain a circulation exceeding that of any Botanical Magazine yet 

 emanating from this country. It was never contemplated as a 

 commercial speculation, nor projected or maintained as a source of 

 profit, but, whilst thanking those kindly disposed correspondents 

 and friends who have proffered to combine, and guarantee him 

 against pecuniary loss, the Editor hopes that the third year of its 

 existence will be entirely self supporting. 



Subscriptions for the third year are now due, and may be trans- 

 mitted by Post Office Order, payable at Charing Cross, to M. C. 

 Cooke, 2, Grosvenor Villas, Junction Road, Upper Holloway, N. 



N.B. — The next number will be trebled in size, ami issued on the 

 1st of September, 1874.
