Tlie Annual Volumes (stout octavos, which have 

 latterly run to between seven and eight hundred pages) 

 are sold to the public at Thirty Shillings. The Volumes 

 are supplied to Subscribers in return for an Annual 

 payment of Twenty Shillings. 



After the first Six Volumes of the " Zoological Eocord" 

 had been brought out by Mr. John Van Voorst at his ow^n 

 risk, the Zoological Record Association was founded, in 

 1871, as the most probable means of successfully con- 

 tinuing the undertakmg, which would otherwise have 

 dropped at the close of the Sixth Volume. The Associa- 

 tion has continued the w^ork up to the present time. 



There are, probably, many local Libraries and Natural 

 History Societies which would be quite willing to become 

 Subscribers to the Work, especially if it were known that 

 by so doing they would, probably, ensure the continuance 

 of the publication, or at any rate avert the possibility of 

 any immediate collapse. 



The Zoological Record Association consists of Members 

 and Subscribers. 



MEMBERS are public -spirited persons, who receive 

 a copy of the Annual Volume, and make themselves liable 

 to the extent of Five Pounds, in the event of the Funds 

 from all other sources not being equal to meet the Annual 

 Expenditure. When this amount of Five Pounds has once 

 been reached, Members can either withdraw or renew their 

 Membership, and thereby incur a fresh liability. The 

 average cost to Members of the Volumes already issued 

 by the Association has been Twenty-four Shillings.
