= establish in America a representative 



journal for the sciences in which the 



microscope is used, they might many times have been discouraged, and the 



thanks of the users of the microscope are certainly due them for their efforts in 



this direction. 



From this time forward, however, the Journal will have to stand or fall on 

 its own intrinsic value to the public. It will therefore be necessary to cancel all 

 subscriptions which are not renewed upon expiration. The subscription price 

 will not, however, be advanced for the year, and we trust that sufficient new sub- 

 scribers will be added to our list during that time to make it unnecessary for us 

 to do so later. 



A number of interesting series of articles will be published during the com- 

 ing year, among which may be mentioned the conclusion of Professor Dennis's 

 series on photomicrography, illustrated with some of the best examples of his 

 work. A series which, when concluded, will be a monograph on medical micro- 

 technique for the use of practicing physicians, will be begun in the January num- 

 ber, and we hope to add a number of features of special interest to physicians. 

 We have also received a valuable addition to our review department in the 

 cooperation of M. Girauld, of the Laboratorie de Kacteriologie de la Ville de 

 Paris, who will contribute each month reviews of current French literature. It 

 is our desire to improve the Journal just as rapidly as circumstances will war- 

 rant, and to this end we welcome suggestions, and respectfully solicit your 

 contributions for publication, in order that the Journal may become, as intended, 

 a repository of American microscopical literature, accessible not only to the 

 specialist and the richly endowed library, but to all who may desire it. 



Our observation shows that a large number of the methods published during 

 the year have been put into practical use in many institutions, and our contribu- 

 tors have the satisfaction of knowing that every article contributed, whether the 

 result of original investigation or an improved reworking of an old process, 

 assists many of our readers who are so situated as not to be able to pursue these 

 researches for themselves. 



The Journal has also met with a kindly reception in foreign countries, as is 

 shown by the large number of citations and reprinted articles in such leading 

 publications as Zeitschrifi fiir IVissenschaftUihe AfikroskoJ>ic, Journal of the Royal
