The West American Scientist. 



This Magazine was fiiPt issued in 1884, and has steadily increased in 

 size and circulation with the rapid improvement and settlement of San 

 Diego City and County, whose growth within the past few months has 

 been remarkable. Original and Scientific in character, as its name indi- 

 cates, yet of a popular style, it reaches the reading rooms and libraries 

 of many societies, and circulates among a very intelligent class through- 

 out the Pacific Coast, especially in the southern counties. 



It is the first and only purely Scientific Journal of all the 393 periodi- 

 cals in the state, in fact the only one west of the Rocky Mountains, and 

 it is surely taking the front rank with the Popular, as well as the Scien- 

 tific magazines of the day.
