62 NATURAL SCIENCE. Jan., 1896. 



It may here be mentioned that the Journal of Botany is this year 

 to be enlarged by an extra sixteen pages monthly, while the price of 

 each number will be increased to is. 8d., and the annual subscription 

 to 1 6s. It is hoped that by this means the Journal may be able to 

 publish a large number of papers on Cryptogams, which no longer 

 have Grevillea to go to, and to conclude Mr. W. A. Clarke's " First 

 Record of British Plants." 



It is also to be noted that Knowledge is with this year enlarging 

 its scope to include literature and art. 



Our Editorial Note headed " Erratics " had gone to press when 

 we received notice that The Glacialists' Magazine had changed from a 

 monthly to a quarterly, with an annual subscription of 6s. Parts 1 

 and 2 of volume iii., dated June and September, 1895, were issued in 

 December of that year. Four misdatings per annum is better than 

 twelve ; may we hope for even further improvement ?
