PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT. 
The Journal will in 1898 be a 16-pp. illustrated maga- 
zine and confined very carefully to the subject of micros- 
copy, omitting the ‘contributions to biology.” No long 
articles can be accepted. Abstracts, news, and brief ar- 
ticles will be sought. Papers on the subject are scattered 
widely as is shown by our exchanges. A great number 
of short itemsand abstracts of articles will be possible. 
The price of subscription will be restored to one dollar. 
The publication of ‘The Microscope” will be discontin- 
ued with this issue and its subscription list turned over 
to the American Monthly Microscopical Journal. That 
magazine will be supplied to all those who have been its

receive the Journal only unless they by post card or oth- 
erwise request a discontinuance. We shall treat all our 
exchanges in the same way.
