PEEFAOE V 



London was originally so intimate, that it was thought ad- 

 visable to index those volumes of the Society's ' Transactions ' 

 which were issued with, and have generally been bound with, 

 the Journal ; further, a short Index to the three volumes of 

 'Transactions' which were published before the appearance 

 of the Journal has been separately compiled, and will be 

 found at the end of the larger one. The complete series of 

 publications is thus composed : 



Example of reference. 



Transactions of the Microscopical So- [Indexed separately.] 



ciety of London. Vols, i-iii, 1844- 



1852. 

 Transactions of the Microscopical So- (Transactions) vi, 34-39. 



ciety of London. New Series, 



vols, i-xvi, 1853-1868. 

 Quarterly Journal of Microscopical vi (o. s.), 14-17. 



Science. [Old Series.] Vols, i- 



viii, 1853-1860. 

 Quarterly Journal of Microscopical x, 367-380. 



Science. New Sei'ies, vols, i- 



xxviii, 1861-1888. 



The old series of the Journal is indicated by the letters 

 (o. s.) ; where a volume is not indicated by any qualifying 

 letters, the new series is intended. 



In 1868 the connection between the Journal and the Society 

 ceased. The ' Transactions/ vols, ix-xvi, are generally bound 

 with the Journal, vols, i-viii of the new series ; hence, in 

 order to shorten the labour of finding a particular reference, 

 the Table on the next page has been appended. 



The untiring assistance of my wife has greatly lightened 

 the labour of preparing this Index, which deals with thirty- 

 six volumes, or nearly thirteen thousand pages. 



G. Herbert Fowler.
