NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



M. E. K. will see that his suggestion has been adopted. 



D. T. A. — We regret that the communication on Multilocular Shells came too late for inser- 

 tion in this quarter's publication : it shall have a place in the next. 



We dislike controversy generally, and must, therefore, decline P. R.'s review : it might cre- 

 ate a literary tornado. 



D. E. C. is informed that the Editor of The Naturalist is no longer connected, in any way 

 whatever, with The Analyst. 



The Article on Epigrams is under consideration, as is that on Legendary Poetry. 



Farther Thoughts on Education shall appear in our next number. 



H. M.'s Account of the Schools and Institutions for Education in Sweden will be accepta- 

 ble : it will be obliging if the M.S. is early transmitted to us. 



The * Waiefarynge of a Wodebokemanne" has been received, and will have a place in our ] 

 October publication. 



Eight Volumes of The Analysthave been completed, each number of which contains Origi- 

 nal and Analytical Articles ; Critical Notices of New Publications ; Proceedings of Literary 

 and Philosophical Institutions ; Reviews of Music and the Fine Arts ; Miscellaneous Com- 

 munications, original and selected ; Correspondence ; Obituary ; and Meteorological Reports, i 

 The Numbers are occasionally illustrated with lithographed sections and figures, and wood 

 cuts. 



Double the publishing price will be given for clean copies of Nos. I. and VII., as these are 

 ■ow out of print and are wanted to complete sets. 



It is requested that all communications sent to the Editors may be directed (post paid) to 

 the care of Mb. Barlow, Bookseller, Bennett's Hill, Birmingham ; and contributions should 

 be sent early in the quarter preceding that in which they are expected to appear.
