rsncLse, 





HE completion of the Second Volume of the New 

 ^ Series of the Journal of Microscopy and 

 Natural Science calls for a few words in 

 acknowledgment of the valuable assistance we 

 have received during the past year, and the 

 expression of our hopes that such kindly aid may be 

 continued during the coming year. 



i^'or ourselves, we confidently rely upon the numerous 

 promises of aid we have received from microscopists and others 

 to enable us to maintain the high character the Journal has 

 attained for the publication of Articles of increasing merit, and 

 hope that during the coming year we may be enabled to 

 place before our readers papers of greater excellence and more 

 general interest than in the past.
