The original title was: The West- 
American Scientist, but the hyphen 
was discarded after the fifth, and a 
cover assumed by the seventh num- 
ber. With the exception of volume six, 
1889, which was published by Samuel 
Carson & Co., San Francisco, C. R. 
Orcutt was both editor and publisher. 
No title page and index appears with 
the succeeding volumes. In complet- 
ing a file, one discovers a number of 
typographical errors in dating and 
enumeration, not all numbers have 
covers, and the stock is apt to be in- 
ferior. Enumeration of volumes ten 
and. eleven may appear intricate; of 
the former, from the last half of num- 
ber 93, to 100, there is nothing to dis- 
tinguish the number or date of pub- 
lication unless the separate sheets 
happen to be placed in covers; some- 
times, lacking the first 41 pages of the 
full volume, it may be found inclosed 
in a cover entitled: “Botany of South- 
ern California,’ a reference work by 
Charles Russell Orcutt. Numbers 84, 
87 and 89 of volume XI are entitled: 
West American Scientist. 
This irregularly appearing little 
journal has outlived the great major- 
ity, and is a monument to the indus- 
try and perseverance of Proprietor C. 
R. Orcutt, the editor and chief con-
