NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Crites will perceive that his suggestions have been adopted in the present number. 
The “Stake” has been received, and is under consideration ; as is also “‘ The Monk of St. Ber- 
nard,” a tale, moral and descriptive. 
Article IV. of the Divi Botanici has been unavoidably postponed until our next publication. 
Sketches of European Ornithology (Gould’s “ Birds of Europe”) will be continued until the 
: series is completed. : 
Observations on Burnett’s History of the Reformation will be acceptable. The Author shall 
have a private communication. 
The Essay on the Structure of Animals, with its Adaptation to External Objects, shall have 
a place in our next number. 
Mr. Allies on the Causes of Planetary Motion, with a Diagram ; and the Christian Examiner, 
or an Exposition of the Basis of Christianity, have been received. 
The Memoir on the Cause and the Effects of the Alcoholic and the Acetous Fermentations, is 
under consideration. Ge 
Tllnstrations of the Thievishness and Garrulity of the Magpie are not suited to the pages of 
The Analyst ; we recommend the writer to offer his article to the Editor of The Natura- 
list. : 
We request the communication promised by Crites to be transmitted to the Editor at his 
earliest convenience. 
A portion of Mr. Ansted’s Essay has been omitted, owing to the loss of one page of the M.S. 
We hope to receive a continuation of his article at an early period. 
The “ Examples of Precocious Impudence” is too personal; it might ruffle the feathers of 
some of our contemporaries. i. 
Several communications relating to the Fine Arts haye been delayed for want of space. 
The Essays of Education and Insanity will be continued. 
Philotypus is informed that the “ Printer’s Devil” has already been reprimanded for the errors 
in our preceding publication.
