THE 



d^uatt^rlg 30urnal of Contjjobgs- 



The Introduction, published in the First Number, sufficiently explains the 

 objects the Editors have in view ; but it will, perhaps, not be superfluous to hope 

 that every Coiichologist who may be in possession of information, will freely 

 conununicate it, and thereby contribute his or her share to rendering the 

 Journal a full and accurate record of the progress of the science which it is 

 founded to promote. 



Any profits arising from the Journal will be devoted to its improvement ; 

 and illustrations will be given when the interests of the Journal, and its 

 pecuniary success, will admit. 



It is requested that scientific and proper names be written distinctly and 

 without abbreviation. 



No notice will be taken of anonymous contributions ; and authors alone 

 will be held responsible for the opinions expressed in their articles.. 



LOCAL CATALOGUES.— The Editors will be happy to receive 

 communications of this nature, and still more so if carefully annotated, with 

 full records of locality, relative abundance or scarcity, and such other informa- 

 tion as will tend to give a correct idea of the fauna of the district. Prior to 

 compiling a list of this kind, the Editors would feel much obliged by the author 

 communicating with them with regard to the area and boundaries of the pro- 

 posed district. This is requested with a view to ultimate tabulation of the 

 records ; and attention to this point would prevent much future uncertainty. 



REPRINTS.— Authors of Papers who may wish to possess additional 

 copies of their articles, may have them on payment of the printer's charges,
