EDITORS' NOTES. 



" The Zoological Record." — Zoologists have long deplored the fact 

 that the parts of " The Zoological Record " are not sold separately. It may, 

 therefore, interest some of our readers to know that Mr. S. Pace (Roj-al College 

 of Science, London, S.W.) is dividing up the already bound (current and past) 

 volumes, and issuing the separated parts to subscribers. Although it is, of 

 course, not intended to make a profit out of the scheme, it will be necessary 

 to charge slightly more for each part than its exact proportionate value, as 

 some parts will, no doubt, remain unsold. 



From the preface to Vol. VII. of " The Journal of Conchology." we learn 

 that for the future it will cease to exist as an independent publication and 

 that it will be continued as the organ of the Conchological Society of Great 

 Britain and Ireland, under the editorship of Mr. W. E. Hoyle, M.A., of 

 Manchester. 



It is proposed to issue the title-page and index to Volume III. shortly. 



Volume I. of "The Cambridge Natural History, Molluscs and 

 Brachiopods " by Cooke, Shipley & Reed (Macmillan & Co.) has been received, 

 but too late for review.
