EDITORIAL. 



This is the last issue of the Bulletin at the subscription price 

 which has from the beginning resulted in a deficit which the editor 

 has always met. It has been impossible to print the Bulletin for 

 fifty cents a yeai". The advance to a dollar a year will be accom- 

 panied by a doubling in the number of pages and the introduction 

 of a number of illustrations in each issue. The value of the Bulletin 

 will be more than doubled. 1908 will therefore mark an epoch in 

 the history of the Bulletin. 



The editor has ready for sale reprints of the first three numbers Of 

 the New Series of the Bulletin at fifty cents a set. These three 

 numbers constitute the first volume of this series. The greatest care 

 has been taken to make these reprints conform exactly to the original 

 prints word for word, line for line, and page for page. The only 

 changes are in the size of type — 10-point instead of 8-point — and in 

 correcting the spelling of about a dozen common words. The reprints 

 are uniform in size with the other numbers of the New Series up to 

 and including No. 29. We can guarantee their accuracy in the above 

 stated particulars.
