21. Annals of Natural History, or Magazine of Zoology,. Botany, a 
Geology. Conducted by Sir William Jardine, Bart., P. J. Selby, Esq., Dr. 
Johnston, Sir W. J. Hooker, Regius Prof. of Botmy, Glasgow, and Rich- 
ard Taylor, Ff. L. Si—In Vol. 32 of this Journal we noticed, among other 
new Journals, the Magazine of Zoology, Botany, and Geology, conducted 
by the three fin names in the above list; and our readers have since then 
n often reminded of it, by our frequent quotations from its pages. 
The companion to the Botanical Magazine e has also become somewhat 
familiar to us, on this side the Atlantic, while the name of its conductor 
is here, as in the whole scientific world, inseparably associated with mod- 
ern botanical science. It was with regret that we learnt, that neither of 
these valuable Journals could be sustained singly, from the want of suffi- 
cient encouragement to meet the expenses of publication. It is, there- 
fore, we presume, with a view to mutual support, as well as concentration 
of talent and effort, that their editors have seen fit to unite them under @ 
new name, and to alter the time of publication from six to twelve times 4 
year. They have, likewise, associated with themselves Richard Taylor, 
Esq. under secretary of the Linnean Society. We have not yet seen this 
new form of our former acquaintances, but there can be no doubt that it 
will sustain the same high position in its own departments, as each of the 
Journals of which it is composed did, previous to their union ; and it 
would seem strange if it should not rise above it. 
Presuming that oir readers would be glad of early information.on this 
point, we copy the contents of the first number, which was issued in 
March, from an adv ew which has reached us before the work 
itself, The price is 2s. 6d. per number.
