THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL 



BOSTON ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 



A Magazine devoted to the study of American Zoology. 



ESPECIALLY' THE VeRTEBRATA AND InSECTA. 



In order to establish the Journal as a permanent Zoological publication, its 

 patrons, it is hoped, will not only renew their own subscriptions, but will also 

 use their influence, to^ extend its circulation. The public in general are also 

 notified that some of the most eminent American authorities in various branches 

 of Zoology have promised their support and occasional contributions. 



The Journal is the only magazine in the country which, while it does not 

 restrict itself to but one branch of the science, is confined to the general study 

 of American Zoology. Hence it appears that if sufiicient pecuniary aid be 

 obtained its final success is ensured.
