A PAPER claiming to represent Nat- 

 ural Science, in several branches, 

 writes the Editor that their exchange 

 list is already so large The Oregon 

 Naturalist will not come in for a 

 copy of their paper. If there is as 

 many as twenty-five papers giving 

 Natural Science a fair number of 

 pages it is a large number. That pa- 

 per looks for its support to the class 

 which supports The Oregon Natu- 

 ralist. I understand the above to 

 mean that that paper has a very lim- 

 ited number of copies printed. I 

 would advise that paper to print one 

 or two extra copies, as one might get 

 lost in the mails.
