[In commencing the Bibliographical Record, it has been thought advisable 

 to begin with the year 1860. With respect to works dated prior to that 

 period, the Bibliographia Zoologies et Geologies of the Ray Society, which 

 comes down to 1847-54, and the very valuable Bibliographia Zoologies 

 of Professor V. Cams and "W. Engelmann, of which the first volume has 

 just appeared, which is brought down to the end of 1859, will, as re- 

 gards Zoology at least, afford the required information. 



In future, it is intended to supply the Bibliography of a single quar- 

 ter only in each Number of the Review ; but on the present occasion, as 

 the greater part of a year is embraced, the quantity of materials has been 

 found too large to admit of the insertion of the whole. A portion only, 

 therefore, is now given, consisting of : — 



1. A list of the Natural History periodical publications at present 

 in existence, which will be amended and added to in future Numbers 

 of the Review, as occasion may arise. In this list the publications are 

 arranged according to the countries to which they belong ; and under each 

 of these heads they will be disposed in alphabetical order of the abbre- 

 viated titles placed in the left hand margin of the page, and by which 

 titles, for the sake of brevity, it is intended to distinguish each perio- 

 dical when cited in the Bibliography. 



2. The Botanical Bibliography for the first nine months of 1860, so 

 far as it has been collected. 



In the April Number the entire Bibliography will, if possible, be 

 brought down to the end of 1860. And at the end of the Annual Vo- 

 lume of the Review, it is proposed to give an alphabetical list of Authors' 

 names, with references to the page or pages upon which his works ap- 

 pear in the classified catalogues of each quarter. 



The readers of the Natural History Review will thus, at the end of 

 each year, be furnished with a Classified list of Works or Papers in every 

 department of Biological Science, as well as with an alphabetical list of 

 Authors. "Whilst, at the beginning of each year, any additions to, 

 or removals from, the List of Periodical Publications, will be duly 

 noted.]
